The prospect of being formally in a study pair/group makes me anxious in case I’m a flake and feel like I’ve betrayed the other participant(s) by being akratic or being unable to keep up and then I will forever after be known as That Flake Who Couldn’t Hack Model Theory That Everybody Should Laugh At etc. etc. I should probably work on that anxiety, but in the interim, as a more passive option, I’ve just created this Facebook group. Has the benefit that anybody who stumbles across it or this comment can join and dip in at their leisure.
I don’t really know what to expect from the group and I’m fairly content at this point to let its direction be driven by whoever joins, but I would say that if you’re unsure and hesitating whether to join or post a question or whatever, please Just Do It, rather than hovering, timing out, and giving up. Even if you’re just curious or think you might want to join the group in future to comment but don’t right now, feel free to join now and turn off notifications from the group to eliminate the Trivial Inconvenience for your future self.
Also, please do feel free to join if you’re not actively studying FAI but want to help others!
