This sounds extremely awesome. Something like this would improve my quality of life incomprehensibly much, I'd do very desperate things for it.
If I were in an area with critical mass, I'd go out and do the hero thing RIGHT NOW. I'd probably fail but as I said I'm desperate. However, where I live is not near critical mass, not even near it, maybe 2 or 3 orders of magnitude away from it. I can't travel far or move because of... medical reasons, and it will likely remain this way for the foreseeable future. I am trapped and miserable, please help.
Hey Armok
Have you considered that there may be those who have very similar values as us here at Less Wrong, but rather champion them under a different banner than 'Rationality'?
I'm just thinking it might be worth widening your search, and scracth under the surface a bit more of what's around you to see if you can find any gold.
Short of that, send out a few transmissions in the local forums e.g. newspapers and their websites. and see if you can pick up any signals.
Got any keywords to suggest?
