Heideggers paradox--that tedium is the enabling condition of full awakening and thus of fundamental attunement--echoes Nietzsches assertion in Cheerful Knowledge that, for thinkers, "boredom is that disagreeable 'windless calm' of the soul that precedes a happy voyage." (15) But, where Nietzsche grants to the thinker, artist, and other "sensitive spirits" (empfindsame Geister) agency over tedium in the apparent oxymoron "resolute idleness" (entschlossene Tragheit), Heidegger reads Tragheit as inertia, as the experience of the unbounded and thus undefined (unbestimmtes) "I" (215, 143) left emptied and open to the experience of the long while and thus the essential possibilities (wesenhafte Moglichkeiten) of being there (Daseitv, 216, 143).
