I assume you meant to say something like “the rationalist’s Schelling point”? Or maybe “the Effective Altruism Schelling point?”. Since presumably it is very hard to change “San Fancisco’s Schelling point” to anything else but somewhere in San Francisco.
It’s probably not a coincidence that those two you mentioned and many other Schelling points are currently in San Francisco, is it? Though I’m not there, I don’t know what other specific groups this applies to.
I was actually thinking of Patrick Collinson’s advice to travel to SF. He called it the “Global Weird HQ”. And of one of the Samo Burja’s short videos that I unfortunately can’t find right now.
I don’t think this is nearly enough to move it. The inertia behind these hubs is astounding. SF has been the “Global Weird HQ” since, what, the 60s or 70s? And I really, really don’t think a culture of optimistic, power-seeking weirdness would thrive in the contemporary UK.

Yes.
I mean, all of them. Thank you for asking.
