I think that the intimidation you describe is applicable to all age groups. My guess is that it takes time to filter into the transhumanist network from the mere smart geek area. On the other side of the coin, we have the fact that older folk don’t make as much use of the internet have less chance to find LW. Thus, we get mostly 20-somethings involved.

Yes; but “the shy do not learn”, so intimidation must be overcome. Of course this should not preclude the community from using accessible terminology when possible, or creating “entry points” for beginners.
