They needed a rest, we told our students. A holy pause. To step back from what they were, or what they might be.
Discover what you might be … or might not be, we told our students. Stay with what is undecided. Remain in that not yet. And be, thereby, eternal students. Eternally studying. Eternally stupid, just as we are eternally stupid …
Stupidity: wasn’t that what we tried to pass on to them, our students? What was not yet, what had not become anything – not even philosophy.
