I find that I become fairly unhappy without some kind of regular socialization in a largish group, but it’s difficult to find groups whose core values are similar to mine. In fact, after leaving a quasi-religious group last year it occurred to me that I’ve always just fallen in with whatever group was most convenient and not too immediately repellant.
I’m sort of averse to moving at the moment, since I’m in the middle of getting my doctorate, but I’ll likely have to move once I finish that. Do you have specific suggestions? I have always picked where I live based on employment availability and how much I like the city from preliminary visits.

In that case its going to strongly depend on your field, and if your going into academia specifically you likely won’t have much of a choice. That said NY and the Bay Area are both good places for finding rationality support.
Hi Pinyaka!
Semi-seriously, have you considered moving?
