Mitchell loves meta. We haven't started yet or he's already philosophizing about meta-clichés: “Clichés are often clichés because they are true. Which is a cliché itself. And that's a meta-cliché. But even pointing to that is a cliché, so that's a meta-cliché.” Then he tells us that there is a meta-parasite that lives on the parasites in our eyebrows, before the conversation comes to work safely. But there too, he regularly knows how to associate cheerfully by road.


“One of the major drawbacks of social media blessings, Netflix and much of the Internet is: it grinds your brain into a mush. You can mentally take the path of least resistance: maximum result of minimal effort. For piano playing, you need to focus. You can't read the news at the same time. And the piano is great because you only have to do this” — he puts his hands down theatrically, fingers spread — “to produce a great sound. It takes you to get a good sound out of a violin or trumpet!”
