I want existing friends to be more aware of my preferences and interests so that they’ll be able to match and meet them more often (ie suggesting an activity I will like). I guess I can do that by constructing a profile with just likes and such. I will do that.
I also want to meet people who share those interests, so I will begin joining and participating in appropriate groups.
I also want to interact more with other rationalists, but from what I’ve seen nothing of merit comes from rationalist facebook groups (based on LessWrong associated groups).
Thanks for your extremely actionable suggestion and question. I don’t know how you came up with the appropriate question to ask me!
You need to be clearer about your goals.
Do you want more interaction with existing friends? Do you want to meet new people? Do you want an easier way to interact with other rationalists?

In consulting and in policy analysis, one of the first steps of problem solving is laying out the problem clearly.
As a start, I recommend Ken Wanatabe’s fun and readable “Problem Solving 101: A Simple Book for Smart People.”
Thanks Davidmanheim. I’ll look for a copy of it. :)
