Shminux, here’s some useful framing from my experience. From having read the HammerTime sequence and the Instrumental Rationality sequence, there were only a handful of techniques or ideas introduced to me at CFAR that I’d never heard of before. Yet I got useful stuff out of almost every class. I really felt that the people + context were the main forces driving my learning/growth.
So that to say, the things Owen linked to cover a huge swath of the CFAR content, though I’d still expect going to CFAR to be a fruitful experience for a given person who’s read it all.
