A (very) Brief History of Bertrand Russell

In this episode, we cover the history of the primarily 20th century British mathematician, logician, philosopher, and political activist, most notable for co-authoring the logic text Principia Mathematica with Alfred North Whitehead. As per usual, I don't go too heavy into the mathematics, largely covering his history. Notes: - Russell met his first wife the summer of 1889, not 1899 - When I discuss his travels to China, I say "In September 1920, Russell went to Beijing...". He left for Beijing then, and ended up there in October 1920.
