You may be interested in the results of a big voluntary annual survey here: http://lesswrong.com/lw/fp5/2012_survey_results/ http://lesswrong.com/lw/fp5/2012_survey_results/ It has some questions that do a reasonable job of surveying people's beliefs on transhumanisty and Yudkowsky-y stuff like AI, cryonics, and many-worlds. Going by the survey, the population is more heterogeneous than you give it credit for.
