What We Do - CFAR

WE TEACH

We teach math- and science-based techniques that are actually useful. Learn how to evaluate evidence, make more accurate predictions, be more efficient using economics, understand your motivations using thought experiments, and much more.
COMMUNITY

We're not just teaching rationality -- we're building a community around it. Join thousands of fun, intellectually curious people meeting up to learn and practice.
WE TRAIN HABITS

...Not just concepts. Our students learn with exercises, games, and examples from their own lives.
EMPIRICISM

We love data. We're conducting some of the first long-term, randomized controlled trials of rationality's effect on people's lives -- to improve our curriculum and to contribute to cognitive science.

We’re hard at work on our three main initiatives.

Workshops

We hold immersive workshops and retreats which teach the core principles of applied rationality.

Research

We’re running randomized controlled trials to figure out how to best teach rational decision-making.

SPARC

We run a summer program for high school students of exceptional mathematical ability.
