In normal (non-Covid) times, how do you find intellectuals to converse with?
I just moved from a job where I was surrounded by intellectuals and used to lunchtime conversations such as “what is the meaning of morality?” to an office where everyone is too busy/not interested in having these types of conversations. And I’m finding I need to figure out how to bring some of those conversations back into my life.
I’ve tried joining book clubs, but only one I’ve found has this type of conversation and they only meet every other month. The other book clubs seem more interested in drinking wine and ready simple novels. I’ve even flirted with the idea of taking classes at a local college just to have them, but dread being surrounded by “kids.”
