This post makes me literally sad.

Living in rural Missouri limits my opportunities to interact with similar awesome-seekers.

I run a meetup in St. Louis, if you're ever in the area.

Thanks! I'm actually about an hour south of STL...

What ties you to rural Missouri?

Wife, child, family, friends, business.

that is sad - I know a friend in rural Nebraska who is in a similar predicament (college) and he says if it wasn't for LW, he might have just concluded that people were just un-awesome.

It is sad that demographics limits potential awesome-seekers. That is another reason why I admire Eliezer so much for making this online community.
