>But perhaps the most interesting part of Mill’s rich life is his education. His father, Utilitarian philosopher James Mill, raised John in a special mode of education purposefully designed to produce a genius, with the intent of making John the standard-bearer of Utilitarianism in the next generation. To this end he kept young John isolated from his school-age peers to prevent them from making him feel too smart, and gave John a rich classical, moral, and scientific education. By the age of three John was studying Greek, and by eight he was studying Latin and in charge of educating his younger siblings; by twelve, he was studying scholastic logic, and had already consumed nearly all of the major Greek and Latin classics in their original language. That James Mill’s unique method of education produced a genius is without a doubt, and John’s youthful experiences are recounted here in detail.

Is this the proper way to educate a child?

give me your absolute worst takes on literature, philosophy and religion so I can finally realise how dumb you are and leave this godforsaken board forever. be as edgy, cringy, contrarian and insufferable as you can

why does this board hate Anglos and science so much?

Philosophy is unfalsifiable

Therefore it is pointless.
