So as I read around the discussion section I keep coming across ideas (like this, this, this, or this) which all seem to be very related to the same topics:
How do we use rationality to better contribute to the world?
But now I'm wondering how many groups, other than SIAI, are trying to do this. It seems like it would be silly to have something like this stagnate because of a simple coordination problem.
So if you are, please come forth and comment. If you're interested, do the same. Share what you know, learn from others, maybe maybe maybe get the ball rolling a bit more.
Note: I changed the title (originally "Rationality Activism Groups") to reflect the more discussion-oriented nature of this thread.
I'm thinking that creating activist elites would bring in many more resources to be used for further activism than would creating activists out of the less wealthy, and that those usually classified as elites usually make more significant decisions than non-elites (as a result, creating rationality in elites would have more of an impact than doing so in the same number of non-elites.)

I have been interested in this for a while now, and have gotten some great feedback.
