Critical Reflection 1
On Liberty: Ch 3 & 4 I connected with this reading a lot.

Once I actually stopped caring what other people thought of me, acted as an individual, and owned my own personal beliefs without fear of backlash, my life made so much more sense. Mill used the metaphor of sheep, and I use that metaphor a lot. I actually had a conversation a few days ago about how in a world of sheep I’m cool with being an alpaca.

Another point from the reading that stood out to me was “Genius can only breathe free in an atmosphere of freedom”. It’s true. If there aren’t enough people who can embrace the higher intelligence of certain people, they’ll be

Odysseus’s attitude in the beginning of the epic displays that of a civilization with no…
