I would be very interested in learning about the experience of rationalists (i.e. people in the LW empirical cluster in person-space) in Hong Kong.

Out of curiosity, in what way do you think the experience of rationalists in HK will be exceptional (as compared to other cities)? Or am I misreading your comment?

I don't know: the difference is an unknown unknown. But most rationalists live in the Anglosphere, so my guess is that those that live in HK will have a different perspective and philosophy. Are there any native HK people on LW, or are they transplanted westerners?

The background interest is that I could see myself moving to HK someday (economic freedom, and all that).

Evidently it is a known unknown unknown.
