An excerpt from the beginning of "The Conquest of Happiness" by Bertrand Russell. This piece is on the pursuit of sin, and reconciling your values with your actions. My pleasures are not my vices, but the outward world doesn't quite agree.

Bertrand Russell On Boredom

Via BBC Archives 

The inaugural Reith Lecturer is the philosopher, mathematician, and social reformer Bertrand Russell. One of the founders of analytic philosophy and a Nobel Laureate, he is the author of Principia Mathematica, and the bestselling History of Western Philosophy, written in 1946. His Reith lecture series is entitled 'Authority and the Individual'.

In his third lecture, entitled 'The Role of Individuality', he considers the importance of individual initiative to a community, and argues for flexibility, local autonomy, and less centralisation in society. Modern organisations, he says, must be more flexible and less oppressive to the human spirit if life is to be saved from boredom.

But it turns out that waiting -- procrastinating, even -- may be the key to doing things right. 

Frank Partnoy makes this controversial -- and perhaps counterintuitive -- case.
