I want to find clever friends

I want to find interesting people who I can chat about highbrow (and lowbrow stuff) with. I have friends but the ones who fulfil this brief and nourish me live far away and my local friends make me feel like I’m faking it.
I know it makes me sound like a dick but ‘clever’ is how I phrase it, I think I mean engaged.
How do I meet people who are like me? Have you?
my AIBU is - is it unreasonable to require this and look for it specifically? Or am I being a snob?

I know what you mean. Perhaps it's more than just being clever - being cultured, like minded and just not ignorant!
I have quite a few friends like this that I've just met throughout life. At various different jobs, university etc. You could join some groups and meet people that way.
