It was great. My mind was blown 5 or 10 times a day.
I’ll write more about this, but until I do here’s one example of the type of
stuff I learned:
There is a big difference between a) thinking about a list of pros and cons
to something, and b) actually writing the list ON PAPER (or a computer
screen). (It’s also important to keep listing stuff after it stops popping
right in your head. There are tricks that help with this.)
Another example: Sometimes people get in arguments with you not because they
disagree with something you did but because they are afraid you don’t care
about them.
I just returned from the CFAR workshop! Would people be interested in a top-level Discussion post about this?

Here’s something I wrote about it on Facebook:
I’d be interested. My guess is that other LWers would be, too.
I would.
