No time to think? Mental Leisure and Sanctuary

I really like this video. Dr. Levy teaches graduate level courses with Titles like "Information and Contemplation". He stresses the importance of having quiet time to think. He discusses the different types of thinking and the need for leisure and mental sanctuary. It reminds me of something I read in a Robert Anton Wilson book once. Something to the effect of 'employ the machine, so the human has more free time'. Levy seems to be on the same page, but his discussion is a little more serious, and a little more comprehensive.
