Perhaps it's a character defect, but I consider "the life of the mind" to be more about books than something involving other people directly, face to face.

The philosopher kings of SiVa are as much the Medici as they are intellectuals.

There's value in face-to-face interactions and conversations like meetups and hacker spaces or math circles for kids.
