Carleton College Convocation with Professor Francis Fukuyama | January 26, 2024

[@MattRoed]

What is up with the weird echo with the audio? Super distracting from the amazing content. Carleton is awesome and I am very grateful that I am granted access to these discussions as they have greatly expanded my understanding. Students asking challenging questions is in my opinion the best aspect of these meetings as Carleton College is known for excellence.

[@Vickielindstrander]

Very few of his predictions have come true.

[@ІванДжиніч]

This is exactly the reason why Francis Fukuyama is the leading economist among those still living. Few wrong all the time, and most "professors" don't even capable of giving any comprehensible predictions at all.

[@ruiy-br6ry]

Do you really understand him, he opposed Fukuyama

[@renate-dv5dj]

The historians' use of the words "may", "could", should not be confused with making a prediction.

[@gitwindoixphog613]

Fukuyama continuing his unblemished record of being wrong. Its sad how far Western Academia has fallen.

[@Kafkaesque786]

My distrust for hidden agendas and ideologies like neoconservatism nudges me into tilting towards more realistic interpretations of the world around me. Refer to Mearsheimer and Geoffery Sachs for more realistic and humane views respectively please.

[@paulmaartin]

There's nothing humanistic about mearsheimer.

[@Kafkaesque786]

@@paulmaartin Mearsheimer=realistic.

[@shanshui1991]

Sachs' views aren't humane - just anti-Western. Mearsheimer on the other hand is a so-calles "realist" but much of what he predicted wasn't very realisitic. Fukuyama on the other hand, is NOT a neo-conservative, esp. today.

He works with the Rand corporation. He supports us foreign policy which hasn’t changed its outlook to want hegemonic unipolar rules based order
