I think the internet, which sometimes serves as its own geographical place, can foster the same sort of clusters. You can see that with bitcoin/blockchain communities, all kinds of inventive ideas coming out of the online communities there. It's a cluster of people who are living in a certain subset of the future already, and the community is centered online.
I agree, but I think it's difficult to achieve this deliberately.
Which implies that a smart incubator would want its own online geography to cluster people living in the future. HN isn't quite that. I'm not sure exactly how it misses that target, but it does somehow.
There have been some attempts to do this (NReduce) but no outstanding systematic successes that I know of.

I think it's an interesting area.
