We should have Francis Fukuyama on the podcast.
Why, to make fun of him for his End of History shtick? “Nice call on that one, Francis”.
VDH’s podcast is rapidly becoming one of my favorites. I wish the episodes were longer (and more frequent), but I’ll take what I can get.
Yes and no. Fukuyama is actually really, really smart; I know it’s a little weird to ask the author of a failed thesis to explain why it failed, but I think Fukuyama is more than up to the task.
