Great thread. There are too many interesting and valuable points for me to reply in depth to everything.

Makes perfect sense.

Basically my goal is to substantially infect humanity with the virus of conscious growth... so much so that the virus keeps going even after I'm gone.

That goal appeals to me as well.

What other leverage points am I missing that I haven't already listed?

I guess you could go on television, radio, any kind of mainstream media. Perhaps, release news releases. It costs a little money but they can end up going everywhere, newspapers, websites, etc.
I know you don't like the mainstream media, and I mostly ignore it myself, but a lot of people pay attention to it, and you could reach literally millions of people through it.
Put advertising on websites? The non-pay-per-click kind can be very cheap indeed - ads on low-traffic sites can run as low as 0 or 1 cent per day, etc. I suggest
Project Wonderful. With that you can even target specific websites.
Maybe, make friends with lots of businesspeople, politicians, celebrities. Run for political office?
Have a talk show and become the next Oprah? A syndicated newspaper column. Magazine articles.
Maybe publish your blog posts in book form. There are so many of them you could probably put out a lot of different volumes on different topics. Wide distribution of them to libraries might be good.
Translations of your work into other languages would widely extend your influence, too, and would also provide a good additional revenue stream.
OK, I guess I'm out of ideas for now.
Best wishes,
Apollia
