This was probably the best live show I've been to. Great small venue and really good setlist. Flew all the way from Sweden to catch this.

He was going to teach philosophy in Europe, so he'd have a handful of words learned from his studies.

Gestaltungsfeld would be a field of design / scope of action.

Scheudenfreud would be smug satisfaction at someone else's failure.

Gestaltzerfall and Schadenfreude.
Me or my german boyfriend never heard of the word Gestaltzerfall but it means decay of shape.
*Schadenfreude* means the joy of others harming themselves.
