I’m reading the replies of current CFAR staff with great interest (I’m a former staff member who ended work in October 2018), as my own experience within the org was “not really; to some extent yes, in a fluid and informal way, but I rarely see us sitting down with pen and paper to do explicit goal factoring or formal double crux, and there’s reasonable disagreement about whether that’s good, bad, or neutral.”
All of these answers so far (Luke, Adam, Duncan) resonate for me.
I want to make sure I’m hearing you right though, Duncan. Putting aside the ‘yes’ or ‘no’ of the original question, do the scenes/experiences that Luke and Adam describe match what you remember from when you were here?
They do. The distinction seems to me to be something like endorsement of a “counting up” strategy/perspective versus endorsement of a “counting down” one, or reasonable disagreement about which parts of the dog food are actually beneficial to eat at what times versus which ones are Goodharting or theater or low payoff or what have you.
