Not sure! What is CFAR?
Center For Applied Rationality. They hosted "workshops" were people could learn to be more rational. Except there methods weren't really tested. And pretty culty. And reaching the correct conclusions (on topics such as AI doom) were treated as proof of rationality.
Edit: still host, present tense. I had misremembered some news of some other rationality adjacent institution as them shutting down, nope, they are still going strong, offering regular 4 day ~~brainwashing sessions~~ workshops.
