They should learn German and listen to Thomas Bernhard in the original. I’ve done an hour of listening, and I’m attending the Faculty Senate in a state of luminous bliss. I don’t even know what people are ranting about because I’m sitting in an armchair in a Viennese salon in the 1980s.
People should occupy their minds, is what I’m saying. It doesn’t have to be German. Any fresh intellectual endeavor works great.
