This post makes me literally sad.

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

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.

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