Wouldn't it be something to die without knowledge of "Liberty." This would mean you were never want of Liberty or you were without it when others did.
No one can give you something you did not know existed. This is "the chicken or the egg" causality dilemma. Having the gumption to define Liberty gave Mill's power, and other people followed because they couldn't think for themselves. Those who argued against his notion of Liberty faced the written letter, b/c it must be true.
Sometimes I do think the only thing that gets you going is that other people think that you can do it. To upload such a series is proof for me of that assertion. What good is it if you know you can do it if other people do not?
@hyperseauton I often get the impression that the thing that gets you going is the opportunity to cast aspersions on the motives of people who make good videos.
Just so you know, if you don't already, the LIMIT, lol, on the time restraint of videos, for us non partners, has been raised to a whopping 15 minute maximum, just mentioning that because your series of videos here are in ten minute blocks which gave me the impression you might not be aware of the recent change and thought you might like to take advantage of it.
Thanks for making "On Liberty" clearer! Keep up the good work.
