This episode’s discussion centers on John Stuart Mill's philosophy, particularly his influence on utilitarianism and ideas on liberty and individual rights. We examine Mill's differentiation between higher and lower pleasures and his harm principle. We also consider the challenges of applying these principles in modern society, discussing concepts like the tyranny of the majority and the role of social media in shaping public discourse.
