  on: To make faster in­tel­lec­tual progress, it would help if the com­mu­nity was lo­cated more densely to­gether.

  This seems in contradiction with https://​​arbital.com/​​p/​​6vb/​​ - one says greater integration is good for intellectual progress, one says lesser integration is good. I think you want to bounce back and forth between the two modes.
