I know a way for you too find a group of people as diverse and intresting as you sound , playing to your strong side interests in math and science and creativity ,you obviously can use a computer ,and if your doing caregiving for your elderly parents , you can do this at home , Amateur radio "ham" radio , yes it still exists and no it doesn't take a housefull of equipment( you can study at home,it takes maybe 45 minutes to go take the test ,and once you have your license get on the air using your computer, tablet, or phone ) I may sound old but there is an explosive vast array of various level "Nerds" , there are currently about 4 million people around the world licensed , using the power of the internet you can talk to people local or halfway around the globe. We all talk on various levels science ,technology,theology ,culture based on what we are into , there is millions of rabbit holes you can go down in special interests, we all will greet and chat when we come across another ham,on the air or in person ,if you find somebody who doesn't intrest you , you "spin the dial" and find somebody who does , most areas have local clubs ,and members happily take new hams under there wing , we call the old dudes Elmers ( like the glue ) I am an Elmer now, having gotten my license 30+ years ago and helped a couple of hundred people join the hobby ,get there feet wet and explore the hobby . Radio operators are a captive audience they want to talk ,they want to meet new people, they enjoy finding common ground interests and building friendships . How about that ? Thinking differently is sometimes a curse,until you find an outlet , and trust me you will find some wonderfully deep unusual thinkers in this hobby , the fact you mentioned Tesla & Einstein makes me think the basic license will be a cake walk ,it's alot of memorizing rules and regulations and some basic radio theory , the test is 100 multiple choice questions ,all of the questions and answers are published ,with a mind for numbers you can honestly memorize and pass the test,it's certainly not meant to keep people out . Well I could prattle on about all the people I have made friends with over the years, everybody from kings of countries to Senators to famous musicians /actors ,if any of this sounds vaguely intresting PM me .I can answer questions and give you more info without putting you or the group to sleep.
