I was preparing 2 write this long reflection on the holiday season being/becoming/having been pretty bogus, but as I began 2 write I saw the task 2 laborsome and instead found this quote 2 support such laziness.
Modern methods of production have given us the possibility of ease and security for all; we have chosen, instead, to have overwork for some and starvation for the others. Hitherto we have continued to be as energetic as we were before there were machines; in this we have been foolish, but there is no reason to go on being foolish for ever.
—Bertrand Russell, In Praise of Idleness, 1935
I will seek more of this man who writes In Praise of Idleness.
