Kevin Beal Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Maybe a Reason Magazine event? I haven't heard of one either outside of FDR. But I guess that also depends on just how high of an IQ we're talking. There's an active IQ thread on the boards and you'd get the impression that most people on the boards have IQs well above average. There's an interesting podcast on a listener's experience of Mensa and how statist those groups can be.

It's particularly interesting how very high IQ societies, >=146 IQ, have a history and tendency of intragroup squabbles. I might attribute this to the tendency to be competitive inherent in those seeking recognition of high IQ. A reason magazine event might be enjoyable, but I'm looking for a group that works on building persistence systems. EFF is the closest group, in terms of intelligence coupled with activity, that I have found, but they are primarily reactive and are restricted to technology concerns. Regarding how high an IQ, perhaps an IQ requirement of 130 or more, but as shown by mensa, high IQ is not enough. I would not consider FDR (forum) such a group because it is mostly a spill over from the show, and the show and the community represents primarily an effort to promote a general philosophy of SM and to promote not violent parenting. If FDR (forum) were primarily a "listener projects" forum, and if those listener projects were more than just videos and essays, then perhaps. But, here we see, as demonstrated by the tax wallst party, the failures of undirected effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somewhere Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Maybe Bitnation https://bitnation.coor some of the other blockchain-oriented groups? It's not unreasonable to suppose that the kind of systems that these people are working on will gradually become standard - Hernando de Soto is particularly keen on these systems http://www.ild.org.pe/our-work/ild-projects/blockchain-ild because people in developing countries typically have the most to gain from them. Or maybe start a group yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windward Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 You might want to check out the Windward annual open house event The Village Helix coming up this Memorial Day weekend (May 27-30). It's about 80 miles east of Portland, Or Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
