BDS is always backed up by the implied threat of violence. It is like locking someone in a box and starving them to death.

Bertrand Russell

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.

BBC Archives Bertrand Russell The Role of the Individual 1948

Most think that social progress should be driven by ideas and persuasion not force. Yet from the French and Russian Revolutions to the Suffragettes, violent action has been instrumental to generating change. Is violence ever justified as a political strategy? In this episode of Philosophy for our Times,  Enlightenment Now author Steven Pinker, filmmaker and author of The Clash of Fundamentalisms Tariq Ali and Kurdish Women's Movement activist Elif Sarican grapple with the forces of history.
