Places for young people to exchange ideas?

Submitted by Whole_Environmental t3_123228t in Connecticut

I’ve always been fascinated by the old school coffee house environment, especially those in the 60s and 70s: talking about art, philosophy, and the general mixing that occurred. I don’t know about any place like that existing today.

Ive been to some coffee houses, but there’s only really been old people, which is nice, but I want to meet likeminded individuals my age.

For context I’m 18, does anyone know about cool hangout spots similar to that in which I’m describing?

I’m in college right now and there really isn’t much of a free exchange of ideas. Almost everyone kind of thinks the same way

Sounds like you’re looking for an exchange of a specific kind of ideas. Not very free thinking of you

Maker spaces could be a fit but different ones can have vastly different age groups.

So you are asking for places and events that relate to your interests without stating your interests?

I’ll assume you like getting fucked in the ass and mouth eiffel tower style from two homeless unhoused men in desperate need of warm water and soap, in which case i would suggest a parking garage off the green past 2:14 AM on weekdays monday to wednesday

I didn’t ask for places or events directly related to my interests, try re-reading it and paying closer attention. Are you married and do you have children?

The coffee shop Klekolo in Middletown kinda has this vibe sometimes when I visit. Little more on the older side tho

You are literally exchanging ideas. Currently. As in, like, your idea now has been exchanged.
