The reading of “The Conquest of Happiness” by Bertrand Russell. Preface and Chapter One.

I vent my annoyance about people who live in New York for a few years and move away and can only talk about New York. I discuss my issues with women who are nearly 40 and feel the need to say a curse word every sentence. I discuss the mental issues of women who are single, have no children, and have adopted 78 pets. I talk about women who feel the need to let everyone know where they stand on politics and let you know on their dating profile that they are super progressive. I discuss my confusion regarding the countless sexualities that there are now. And I discuss my failure of having any woman come over to my apartment for the weekend after a whole year of not having the apartment to myself. I also discuss the new feminism of female empowerment by posting provocative photos of yourself for men to jerk off too on instagram and how I would do the same if someone paid me $100,000 to post a photo of my ass. Hopefully you enjoy.
