Is there a regular online community where they share thoughts & discuss?

  (And I missed mention of the Gerontology Research Group, and Gregory Benford and Genescient, amongst others). It is a balkanized community online - much the same as most. Hacker News is an unusual thing in that respect. So you'll find some of the research community, mixed in with tech journalists, advocates, and other interested parties, posting to the Gerontology Research Group mailing list. You'll find a mix of activists and researchers of a different type posting to the SENS Foundation forums. There's some side-discussions at the long-running Extropy-chat list, but less so these days. And the standard fragments of the community in LiveJournal, the other social networks, a range of Yahoo groups and Google groups like New_Cryonet. The loose network of occasional and regular bloggers. And no doubt a range of other watering holes and mailing lists I'm unaware of. Again, Hacker News is an oddity in the general scheme of things for a community of any size.

  lesswrong.com is a big one in that cluster of ideas.
