Jordan Myers's video: That s BS 100 - In Praise of Idleness: By Bertrand Russell

In this episode, we celebrate 100 episodes with a discussion on Bertrand Russell's 1935 essay "In Praise of Idleness" and how it rings ever more true today. We work ourselves to death in jobs we may not like for the promise of... what? The weekend? Vacation? Retirement? Russell thinks a certain type of leisure should fill this void.
