I think that's overwhelmingly unlikely, from statistics alone.
Nevermind negative bias: technical people don't have time to
participate in nontechnical mailing lists. Businessfolks ditto:
that'd keep them away from meetings.

Also I'd argue against some Ayn Randian archetypes (and Vingean
stereotypes of a heroic handful, which drive progress to a 
supercivilisation single-handedly). Making technical progess
possible takes many human hands and minds.

A pretty good source (no, I'm not getting a cut) is http://www.lef.org/
An extra benefit is that profits partly go into finding advanced human
cryopreservation, and anti-aging projects.
