Some people are interested in philosophy because they want clever new thoughts to think about life and the world, with their same old minds. Other people are interested because they are tired of their same old minds. They want new minds, alternative minds, maybe better minds, maybe getting-better minds. These two kinds of people will approach a philosophy lecture or interview differently: to learn something, to be stimulated, or to catch something, to be transformed. A pretty boring presentation, from the standpoint of interest and stimulation, might be just the right sort of presentation, to pass on a trick of seeing, an approach, a way everything could be different.
