#3Fuck this paper. Why? Because Paul Graham and Sam Altman are butt buddies, that's why.

Care to elaborate why?

#6Jordan Peterson is a co-author and this is the basis of the so called Future Authoring program.
I did it between semesters during my postgrad. I went from 64.5% in the first semester to 87.5% in the second.

#7Very interesting, though I wished they used a wider group than just "self-nominating" students. It would be interesting to see if this improved academic performance for regular students (> 3.0 GPA) who didn't have a goal-oriented plan before, or if most of those students already partake in something similar.

#9Peterson is a controversial figure for many reasons at the moment. I've taken the Future Authoring Program, and although I have no data to back my feeling up with, it is thorough, and very helpful.
I had never before reflected on my past, and it has planted the seeds that were necessary to help me understand why I'm so horribly, horribly fucked up at the moment...
I can definitely recommend the Future Authoring Program (and the Past Authoring as well).

Hmm. I'm a bit surprised by this, I reflect on my past all the time. Too much, probably.
I don't think imagining one's idealized future is particularly difficult, but I'm also not sure if it helps much at all with actually reaching said idealized future. It's often just easier and more straightforward to adapt to things that come along the way, and sometimes what you want can drastically change over time, as well. o.O
