German University Giving Out Grants for ‘Doing Nothing’

How rich would you be if you got paid to do nothing? Well, a German school is sponsoring learners to not study anything with 'idleness grants'.

Hamburg-based University of Fine Arts is giving out three grants worth $1,900 each as reported by The Guardian. All you have to do to get the grant is to make a case for your active inactivity. It will involve proving that doing nothing is actually not as easy as it seems.

The grant is for a study focusing on the idea of refraining from specific actions, and whether it reduces the negative consequences of actions. This essentially means that doing nothing does not have an effect on other people’s lives.

Architect and designer  Friedrich von Borries theorized the program that is now open for applicants. If you think you are good at doing nothing, then you should make a point not to apply for this grant. You will not get it.
