This lecture discusses key ideas from the 19th century Utilitarian philosopher John Stuart Mill's work, On Liberty

It focuses specifically on his discussion of what value he thinks there are to people of "genius", which involves examining what genius actually consists in. He also advocates for more open and free societies in which genius can develop and flourish.
