don't you go mental when you don't speak with anyone all day long?
No. Seems to be having the opposite effect. I have a little chat on here every day anyway.

how else would you listen to music? sit in a chair and stare at the wall? i've never done it any other way? not that i'm painting my ceilings constantly but i'm never doing nothing, at the very minimum i'm browsing the internet.
I used to often listen to music the way you might watch a movie.
Having nothing whatsoever to do. This is why I definitely recommend switching the Internet off every day too, for however long. I've had my phone switched off the whole time also so no one can talk to me.
I find the key is to listen while you're occupied with something else that doesn't use your brain, like cooking or eating or in the bath or whatever. Just sitting and listening is difficult to maintain.

trying to read and listen to music is not a great combo - you end up doing neither very well. not that it's stopped me trying to this day. it tends to push the music towards being inconspicuous. or the opposite - but then your page-rate goes down dramatically.
Makes me think they could do sort of anti-silent retreats where everyone's just listening to music the whole time without doing anything else.
They have those high end audio places which are not quite clubs. Eg spiritland and brilliant corners
Not quite what you describe but edging towards it
I imagine those places to be very serious. For the heads, the audiophiles. Silent sanctity, pressure to seem immersed and relaxed and you’re just thinking about when you can leave
