- “We live in the age of the overworked and the undereducated”, writes Oscar Wilde in his “The Critic as Artist”.
In this video I provide a brief reflection on what Oscar Wilde calls “The Importance of doing Nothing”, and how we can apply some of its ideas to our daily lives today.

This is the most beautiful lecture you have uploaded to date. The ending made me want to cry when you said who cares if you do something that is soul enriching and thought invigorating that other people deem as nothing. Mr. Medeiros, I love you from the deepest part of my heart.
Thank you so much.

Thank you!
Great set-up for this lecture with the puzzle on the table.😀 I used to like doing puzzles as a child and have rediscovered it as I'm approaching old age. For most people puzzling is the most useless activity in the world. But they don't know that it is actually a very relaxing meditation practice. And isn't a rainy day a universal licence for staying home and doing nothing?
Oscar Wilde yeah wanna hear
On a side note, any thoughts on Murakami's novels? Will they stand the test of time and become a classic of our age?

of course doing nothing is amazing..we need to relax and re-charge our energy. In nature, humans would never work, except hunt and then relax. Most of the stuff we do in modern times doesnt have any actual meaning and we do it to fill out our time.
My life's mission is the exploration of the interaction of speaking and listening, how to speak and how to listen, transducing acoustic energy to electric energy and back again . . . how may I assist You removing the distractions in the signal present in this video, that distract from Your Content and Your Self?
