Re: » In Praise of Idleness…Why Are We So Bizzzzzzzy?

Work is often thought as the definition of what makes a person. Your work is thought to be what you ultimately are – but how silly is that? (What if you service septic tanks for a living?) The author, philosopher, historian, and mathematician Bertrand Russell once wrote an essay called In Praise of Idleness, and we often forget the simple pleasure of writing a poem or doing crosswords in the paper, or reading someone's memoirs, if it's interesting enough. (The recollections of a business software engineer wouldn't count – boring!) In modern life, we too often are caught up in work or whether or not to get an online payday loan, and forget to take time to do nothing.

I'd love to interview you for a podcast about unschooling, Free Schools, Sudbury, etc. Plan to unschool my own future (knock wood) kids, and to get out of the schooling racket myself.

I'm cburell on Skype. Would love to do this soon. Wanna play?
