it's a shame, really... can't appreciate the boomers' music!
Breastfed on neoliberal mythology.
It seems a pandemic occurred wiping out understanding of significant cultural heritage and values.
Maybe in part why China now directs the future.
HAAAAAHA thanks lol! How irreverent of, no wonder this never made it off the drawing board<3
Very awkward errors
that's a sexy title indeed... And no, never heard of. What's the TLDR?
Of the enlightenment ideals, liberalism is far more valuable to human flourishing than democracy. The world and history are full of many liberal, competent governments that are undemocratic, and many tyrannical and/or incompetent governments that are democratic. Democracy without extreme safeguards (constitution, checks and balances) will lead to both tyranny, mediocrity, and idiocy. He also extends the idea to institutions outside of the state like companies, religious institutions, and social groups.
It came out about three years before Idiocracy, and I’d kill to know if Mike Judge read it before making that movie.

While I agree with a good amount of this article, please consider a couple of critiques that kind of frustrate its credibility for someone like myself.
Basically everything you say about Nirvana is wrong. I think you're remembering Metallica. Definitely a band with a different style and cultural allegiance.
I find it interesting that you mention End of History but not Clash of Civilizations. Isn't that the writing from that time that's become prescient in this regard? Fighting the war Huntington describes can account for the vast majority of the national debt.
