We’re taking it easy! In episode 103 of Overthink, Ellie and David take a leisurely dive into laziness, discussing everything from couchrotting to the biology of energy conservation. They explore Devon Price’s idea of the ‘laziness lie’ in today’s hyperproductive society and search for alternatives to work through Paul Lefargue’s 19th century campaign for ‘the right to be lazy.’ They also look into the racialization of laziness in Ibn Khaldun and Montesquieu’s ideas on the idle tropics, and think through how the Protestant work ethic punishes laziness, even when technology could take care of the work.Patreon | <a href='https://www.patreon.com/overthinkpodcast'>ptreon.com/overthinkpodcast</a> Website | <a href='https://www.overthinkpodcast.com/'>overthinkpodcast.com</a>Instagram & Twitter | <a href='http://instagram.com/overthink_pod'>@overthink_pod</a>Email |  Dearoverthink@gmail.comYouTube | <a href='https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMYhvss0LFHG6DjDtX_gs-A'>Overthink podcast</a> Works DiscussedDevon Price, Laziness Does Not Exist Barthes, “Let us dare to be lazy” Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience Jared Diamond, Guns, Germs, and Steel Christine Jeske, The Laziness Myth Ibn Khaldun, Muqaddimah Paul Lefargue, The Right to be Lazy Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, The Communist Manifesto Montesquieu, The Spirit of the Laws Max Weber, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism<a rel="payment" href="https://www.patreon.com/overthinkpodcast">Support the Show.</a>
