I could use some help.
There exists somewhere a group of people that takes the whole "systemized winning" thing extremely seriously. Their ambition probably sounds insane to normal people. These people set themselves unreasonably difficult goals and achieve them anyways. They develop systems and tools to assist them, and in that group, share them.
Such a group doesn't advertise itself, and probably works by invitation. I don't know where they are or could be, but I want to find them anyways. This is where you guys come in:
I need you to point me in the direction of another group, community, discord server, subreddit, forum or whatever that gets me *closer* to what I'm looking for. *It doesn't have to be the group itself, just closer than this group*. Please let me know if any of you have an idea on where to go next.
Thanks!
FAQ
- "I don't think such a group exists"
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small-world_experiment - Again, I'm not asking you to point me to the group, but to another group that's closer to my target group. It doesn't matter that you don't know of such a group, but just that I get closer. Imagine the small-world experiment, but I'm the letter going from group to group, so to speak.
- "Isn't that kind of desperate/low status/cringe to put that effort into finding that group?"
- Maybe. Status considerations don't hold a lot of weight, so I'm doing it anyway.
- "What makes you think they'd take you in even if you find them?"
- There's no point in premature capitulation, they can reject me once I get there.
There is a lot of diversity within the LW community. Some people just read the web. Some people run companies (yes, plural). You say you have already read the web, but have you also been at meetups? Join some, and ask people what they are working on.
That is, "LW meetups" may be the one step closer to your goal from "LW website".

I find your approach fascinating. Like, my immediate reaction is "this cannot possibly work", but then I struggle to explain why exactly (so maybe I am wrong). Uhm, if you happen to find the "Illuminati" this way, please be so nice and come back here and post a pointer for the rest of us. I mean, if they don't mind being found, they might benefit from being contacted by more LW readers.
I guess my intuition says that if you want to meet some extremely impressive people, and want them to pay attention to you, you better have prepared some presentation about what makes you impressive and worth of their attention. Because you probably won't be the only person who wants to meet them. And if they are insanely ambitious and winning systematically, they are probably not sitting on their butts and waiting for someone like you to join them. Rather, they are probably very busy working on their plans already, whatever those can be. They might need people with certain skills.
Also, I think there is a high chance you may find a group of overconfident people who believe they are winning systematically, but actually are just some form of cult or scam.
I doubt that. Productive people usually do not spend much time online. And when they do, it is usually focused, so would expect their online time to consist of:
