In reference to In Praise of Idleness by English philosopher and mathematician Bertrand Russell (1872-1970), the students invented forms of fighting to reconquer the right to do nothing, created conditions for boredom and proposed systems bordering on the absurd inviting people to waste their time and go round in circles.
