The "silence" element reminds me of Fred / Mister Rogers, specifically the episode (which I learned about from the documentary "Won't You Be My Neighbor?") in which Mr. Rogers uses valuable airtime to show viewers "just how long a minute is"
While searching for the above video, I also stumbled across the following one, which is mostly a compilation of sweet Fred-isms via Charlie Rose, though the editor made some... unexpected... insertions, ending with a suggestion that Bernie Sanders might be Moshiach...?
Fabulous conversation (surprise surprise 😜)

Thanks Jordan! And yeah Fred Rogers was way ahead of his time -- the silences in all his episodes are spacious and important.
