Edit: more helpfully, I found it valuable for thinking about rationality and thinking about CFAR from a strategic perspective—what it was, what it should be, what problems it was up against, how it interfaced with the rest of society.
In other threads on this post, Brienne and others describe themselves as doing research, so CFAR seems to be doing both. Math research and teaching math are a bit different. Although I am also interested to know of SSC posts that were helpful for developing curriculum.
All you were saying was “That’s not the question that was asked, so … no.” so I’m sorry if I had to guess and ask. Not sure what I’ve missed by ‘not focusing’.
I see you’ve added both an edit after my comment and then this response, as wellwhich is a bit odd.
In general, if you don’t understand what someone is saying, it’s better to ask “what do you mean?” than to say “are you saying [unrelated thing that does not at all emerge from what they said]??” with double punctuation.
That’s not the question that was asked, so … no.

You are saying those 2 aren’t the same goal?? Even approximately? Isn’t CFAR roughly a ‘teaching rationality’ organization?

I’m not saying that, either.
I request that you stop jumping to wild conclusions and putting words in people’s mouths, and focus on what they are actually saying.
