Episode 101 - John Stuart Mill on the Truth of Opinions

John Stuart Mill was a utilitarian thinker who spent a lot of time considering what was "right" and how we can be reasonably certain of our rightness before we act.  In his book, On Liberty he attempts not to define "rightness" but rather to provide us with a litmus test for the rightness (or wrongness) of our opinions.  That test is the topic of today's episode.
