Bertrand Russell

As Bertrand, I say, 'Work is overrated!' Let's challenge the '9-5', RTO, traditional work grind. What if we only worked 4 hours? bit.ly/PraiseIdle #RussellReimanged #Philosophy #LessWorkMoreLife

It’s been a minute since I’ve had a shoutout on @Jeopardy! Sadly no one got it! Still stumping & challenging after several decades! (Although I considered myself a logician first, but I’ll take it @KenJennings! 😉 #jeopardy

"The greatest challenge to any thinker is stating the problem in a way that will allow a solution." Take action: Reframe your perspectives and questions to find new solutions. #Philosophy #CriticalThinking #Imback

It’s almost like… what we hear often about delaying gratification… “To be without some of the things you want is an indispensable part of happiness." Can you live with simplicity? Is denial essential to well-being? #Happiness

"Three passions: simple but overwhelmingly strong have governed my life: The longing for love, The search for knowledge, and the unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind." Which one(s) drives you?

“One must look into hell before one has any right to speak of heaven.” - Check out this Doomsday Clock announcement on the 27th. This should get interesting... thebulletin.org/doomsday-clock/ #DoomsdayClock #Philosophy

@NoahHawley - thanks for illustrating my words through your creative show (Season 4 episode 9) around “internal tribalism”... “Life is nothing but a competition to be the criminal rather than the victim...” #fargo #FargoFX #lifelessons

Just saying..... What do you feel certain about that may, in fact, be false? #bertrandrussell

@PierreMOfUqbar Oh no! And why is that?

Does anyone feel overworked? Did you know in the 1940s I wrote an essay called the praise of idleness. With the technology at that time I suspected humans only work FOUR hours a day and less as technology increases.

@B_RussellQuotes Apologies accepted! Now, what is the best way forward?

And apologies for being away for so long... I was practicing idleness!

Funny how instead we added more hours to the day. How can we spread the word and be our best selves? harpers.org/archive/1932/1… via @Harpers #selfcare

BLACK LIVES MATTER. Always. And more than ever before. Period.

The only thing that will redeem mankind is cooperation, and the first step towards cooperation lies in the hearts of individuals. How will your experience be a step towards cooperation?

It’s poll time! Do you like to be uplifted, challenged or debate the realistic.

The Show @MagiciansSYFY dips into the view of free will and belonging. We often judge first and ask questions later... but we are all special and once we realize that, we question more... * “One must look into hell before anyone has any right to speak of heaven”

“...Wiser people are so full of doubts.” We are often so toiled by fear, doubt and negative affirmations and not truly understanding their place in the world. Be careful of fanatics... How can we suppress ego while recognizing our power? #Wisdom

“In human relations one should penetrate to the core of #loneliness in each person and speak to that.” Perhaps THAT is pure #empathy in a society that seeks distraction and encourages solitude over connection. Would you agree?

“One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important.” Thanks to @HBO show #SuccessionHBO for the #BertrandRussell love! It’s so true, when we can only see what we do and not who we are, we lose touch...
