Psychedelics? Nootropics? I guess they are also a big part connecting lots of those subcultures.
Agreed. I might add them to a future version of this map.
This time around I held off mainly because I was confounded by how to add them; drugs really do pervade so many of these groups, in different variants: psychadelics are strong among the counterculture and New Age culture, nootropics are more popular among rationalists and biohackers/Quantified Self, and both are popular among transhumanists. (See this H+ article for a discussion of psychadelic transhumanists.)
