This is why young people must learn an art form.

Well done! I wonder if things will ever be quieter than they are today. Everything is moving faster and faster. I see it in my own behavior. It's easier to watch 5 Youtube videos at night then read that book. Anyway, beautiful. Thanks and subbed.

I like that you added background music to save us from the dread of silence :D Jokes aside, really nice clip!

[markreadin]

Thank you, absolutely beautiful. It's sad, both that David Foster Wallace is gone and that the existential problems he describes here are bigger now than ever

[bigbird]

This Will Destroy You is the perfect background music to this.

I wish I could time travel back to when he was still here and give him a big bro hug.

I am in love with his voice and thoughts. Greetings from Russia

Era un hombre muy confundido y amargado.

Just came back from a vipassana course, and that makes what Wallace says here incredibly noticeable
Thanks for the vid mate

Thinking about something for 30 mins instead of 30 seconds. Perhaps not the best advice coming from someone who was depressive bipolar and had suicidal thoughts.
