I consider the criticisms that it's too individualistic & that it doesn't define harm, & argue that the liberty principle is . . . good, actually.

HARM & LIBERTY IN J S MILL
Is J S Mill's liberty principle bad political philosophy because he fails to define harm? I try to give this 'conventional' read a fair shake while also giving you my own view that the principle is . . . good, actually.

Small footnote, but perhaps not a small irony:

The issue of DIE WELT that featured Musk's PR for the German far right was scheduled to contain a long interview warning about the normalization of the far right.

The interview did not run.
Elon Musk pens German newspaper opinion piece supporting far-right AfD party
Billionaire Trump adviser said his ‘significant investments’ in the country justify his wading into German politics

Have the Democrats become the party of "symbolic capitalism"? The @newyorker.com's Andrew Marantz talks with @musaalgharbi.bsky.social about this and his recent book, We Have Never Been Woke:
The sociologist Musa al-Gharbi argues that the Democratic Party has moved away from the working class and toward élites. This strikes him as a fateful misstep: Why associate your party with a group that most voters not only don’t identify with but actively resent?
Have the Democrats Become the Party of the Élites?
The sociologist Musa al-Gharbi argues that the “Great Awokening” alienated “normie voters,” making it difficult for Kamala Harris—and possibly future Democrats—to win.

Well, today I got a compliment from an unknown person who has read my work. Being called a good scholar and appreciated for my academic work surely proves I am not off-track.
