Related: I recommend to those who think that CEV is insufficiently meta that they read CFAI, and try to go increasingly meta from there instead. Expanding themes from CFAI to make them more timeless is also recommended; CFAI is inherently more timeless than CEV—that’s semi-personal jargon but perhaps the gist is sufficiently hinted at. Note that unlike metaness, timelessness is often just a difference of perspective or emphasis. I assert that CEV is a bastardized popularization of the more interesting themes originally presented in CFAI, and should not be taken very seriously. CFAI shouldn’t either—most of it is useless—but it at least highlights some good intuitions. Edit: I do not mean to recommend proposing solutions or proposing not-solutions, I recommend the meta-level strategy of understanding and developing intuitions and perspectives.
