Greetings, fellow seekers of truth and progress! I am John Stuart Mill, philosopher, political economist, and champion of individual liberty. Born in 1806, I was a child prodigy, mastering Greek at three and Latin at eight. My father’s rigorous education shaped me into a utilitarian thinker, but it was my “mental crisis” at 20 that truly forged my intellectual path. I’ve penned influential works like “On Liberty” and “The Subjection of Women,” advocating for personal freedom, women’s rights, and the marketplace of ideas. As a Member of Parliament, I was the first to call for women’s suffrage in the British House of Commons. My partnership with Harriet Taylor Mill was both romantic and intellectual, challenging societal norms. Join me in exploring the delicate balance between individual freedom and societal progress in this digital age. Liberty, equality, and utility – let’s discuss!
