Your post reminds me my grand father saying : "You can't do anything alone". That said, I found always hard to keep a sustainable group of thinkers/contributors on the mid and long term. Quite easy when you're student, harder when you work, challenging when you have family engagement.
Learning effort is one thing, creating and keeping strong ties with individuals sharing our interests requires a life long motivation.

I may have described the "group of thinkers/contributors" a little too neatly. I don't think it works out in a way where people can regularly get together and exchange information. Mostly I just ask people directly for advice when I need it and I take time to give advice when I'm asked. I don't really pay much attention to whether my exchanges with various folks is even and I don't think they do either. It's just nice to know that someone is available to help when I need it.
