“David Foster Wallace: I think one of the insidious lessons about TV is the meta-lesson that you’re dumb. This is all you can do. This is easy, and you’re the sort of person who really just wants to sit in a chair and have it easy. When in fact there are parts of us, in a way, that are a lot more ambitious than that. And what we need, I think—and I’m not saying I’m the person to do it. But I think what we need is seriously engaged art, that can teach again that we’re smart. And that there’s stuff that TV and movies—although they’re great at certain things—cannot give us.” ThinkingWayWantNeedsGivingPersonsArtFactsCertainEasyStuffCan DoTeachTvsLessonsSmartDumbEngagedChairsAmbitiousInsidious Book:Although Of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself: A Road Trip with David Foster Wallace Source: Although Of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself: A Road Trip with David Foster Wallace
