interesting! wonder if smaller, active communities around a book can be used to help "bathe in the book's ideas"
i remember saying something like, "every time i become interested in something, I have a habit of creating a community for it"

Yes, I suspect this is an important strategy. Besides the religious examples, we’ve talked about LessWrong and SSC as valuable models here.
The domain doesn’t seem to be well understood; it would be interesting to try to collect best practices, experiment more explicitly, etc.
