If there is some kind of diet that would increase rationality, or increase intelligence, or just give us more energy or more time by reducing the time necessary to sleep, it would be useful for us to know.
If we could get political power, we could make rationality education mandatory, make lotteries illegal or tax them highly and give the money to effective altruist causes, etc.
We could use the powers of seduction to bring more people to the rationalist community. They would come for sex, but stay for the Sequences.
We could find the hidden village where people have the highest IQ genes on the whole planet, select the person with the best gender, teach them computer science, and tell them to build a Friendly AI.
Better climate would also be fine for… uhm… some purpose. Outdoors LessWrong meetups?

People in a hidden village are more likely to have genetic malformations, IMO.
