It was clearly much too long ago that I read Russell’s tome on idleness! (I think I was ~13?) I appreciate your brief/witty rundown. (Interesting though how he gave many words to investing as a subject...) Forgive me for an errant incident of snacking on literature, & not re-reading it before recommending. I realize now my youthful/idealistic self mostly attached to the (heady) promise of the title, wanting support for the idyllic ideas you so rightly beg to be written; ‘a paean to idleness.’ Noble idleness.
No way! I would never have read it if you hadn't given me the nudge! Bertrand Russell is nuts… and is brilliant and awesome and SO WORTH READING. THANK YOU!
