[quote=Anonymous]I lived in NYC in the 80’s and early 90’s. One thing that was wonderful about living in New York was the amazing diversity. I got to talk about writing with writers, and about art with artists, and about music with musicians, and about architecture with architects — on top of having a foundation of talking about all kinds of things with people with intense academic interests. I think the basis for leading a cultured and intellectual life is curiosity and interest, coupled with exposure. Take art courses and music courses and learn a second language. Write! You — or your kid — might never be adept at any of those things ( or you/they might!) but the process of trying and learning will mold your brain and your tastes and your interests in ways that will connect you with other people who share those interests.
