Traits of ‘like’ minded people.

They are mature enough and trust each other to co-operate. Realize the mutual benefit of working cooperatively rather than solitarily. ( use another word here)
Realize the importance of keeping aside differences and moving ahead with plans. ( foresight - difficult to implement)
Careful about money. Are money savers
Realize that the most important improvements to our quality of life comes through scientific and technical developments. They are largely materialists.
Do not indulge in sensationalist talk or get carried away by sensationalist stuff. << define sensational stuff>>
Do not believe in higher powers ( God etc.)
Understand the Darwinian theory of evolution. Agree that we are defined by our biological makeup.
Do not believe in the clichéd – serve the society slogans
Believes that most people are idiots.( a fundamental theme recurring in most stuff that I've written) Agree that many existing problems are man-made.
Eclectic in approach and cautious about subscribing entirely to any one philosophy – Libertarianism, Objectivism, Socialism, Capitalistm etc. While some views/beliefs that i have mentioned may be common to the mentioned philosophies, a pragmatic approach would be to combine elements of those philosophies and add to that list if necessary.
Take care of their health (Eat largely healthy food ,exercise appropriately, do not smoke etc. - note: there are known benifits to smoking)
Agree that unemployment, recession etc. can be potentially eliminated. Agree that many of our current economic policies and monetary systems are flawed.
Can set aside the urge to single-handedly and heroically achieve something difficult if done individually- usually the same can be achieved relatively easily by cooperating with reasonable individuals ( foresight – difficult for most free thinkers)
Believe that integrity is largely a good policy.
Believe that income tax and several other government rules and regulations do not make sense.
Believe that the cost of living can be substantially lower ( example - housing, food ) if there is sufficient mature co-operation among individuals
Realize the damaging effects of the clichéd ‘hard work’ – ranging from health to relationships.
Largely do not feel the need for a progeny.

Important - Exceptions/variations will always exist for the above mentioned list. No statement is categorical.

Miscellineous beliefs/traits

The number of explicite rules/regulations increase with decrease in collective intelligence for the same setup. ( though it will require someone intelligent to make the rule explicite in the first place.)
