We should do that. lol
Do we have to stop at science?
I'm totally down to welcome in strangers who want to talk history or philosophy, too. Roving bands of people, seeking shelter by paying with their special interests.
Terry Pratchett kinda did this in one of his discworld sub-series.
There were teachers that would roam from town to town teaching for small amounts of money, or eggs, or carrots, or whatever. It was like tinkers only with information.
I guess this is somewhat historical? Norway had wandering "singers" that went around and told stories, in exchange for a meal. The stories were partially educational, partially entertainment. Basically infotainment of the time.
Edit: I think the name was "scalden" iirc.
Honey, it's the Arch users, hide!
Just go hang out in the student union or in the mall of your nearest state university. You'll find plenty of people eager to talk about all sorts of topics.
This sounds somewhat like the end of Fahrenheit 451.
There’s a couple of science-based social groups (usually ‘skeptics’ is in the name, a la Skeptics Society) where I live (SLC) so might be a very good place to start recruiting ‘sales’ people in your own areas…
