In Praise of Idleness, by Bertrand Russell
harpers.org/archive/1932/10/in…
Modern technic has made it possible for leisure, within limits, to be not the prerogative of small privileged classes, but a right evenly distributed throughout the community. The morality of work is the morality of slaves, and the modern world has no need of slavery.

> Bertrand Russell has this great quote, “This is one of those views which are so absurd that only very learned men could possibly adopt them.” On the other hand, there’s this from George Orwell: “To see what is in front of one’s nose needs a constant struggle.”

> Libraries and archives hold a special kind of magic, especially in an age when historical memory is eroded by an avalanche of information, the unceasing churn of emotional overload, and a culture entrapped by what #ByungChulHan calls “the immediate presence.”

Winner brings #RusselsIcarus to mind:
> Mr. #Haldane's #Daedalus has set forth an attractive picture of the future as it may become through the use of scientific discoveries to promote human happiness. Much as I should like to agree with his forecast, a long experience of statesmen and government has made me somewhat sceptical. I am compelled to fear that science will be used to promote the power of dominant groups, rather than to make men happy.

> well-to-do people, though less numerous than they are now, were certainly more civilised... The rich would think it beneath their dignity to have such knowledge, and ignorance has become the hallmark of social eminence.

I bet #JeffSchmidt's book #DisciplinedMinds on graduate school and #professionals probably offers a lot that is useful for thinking about why there is so much bullshit and why people put up with it. It's probably a status thing, and a money thing. I'll have to find my copy soon.. In the meantime here's #BertrandRussel in 1931:

Maybe some #Afghan refugees will get to #Ukraine and #EasternEurope. They can show how things work out after #Rambo visits with #StingerMissiles. The #Refugees (#StatelessPeople) can talk with #TomHanks (#ElliotAbrams, #VictoriaNuland). #MotoHashiSeiIchi's #AlexeiInBelarus (near #Chernobyl) and the #peasant women can teach the #EliteWarring planners some #Farming. #BertrandRussel thought gardening could make #aristocrats less prone to destroy eveyone else's efforts.

"The classic example of subjectivity is Don Quixote. The first time he made a helmet, he tested its capacity for resisting blows, and battered it out of shape ; next time he did not test it, but “deemed” it to be a very good helmet. This habit of “deeming” dominated his life."
