On liberal takes on the end of the End of History.

[Patreon Exclusive]

We start by discussing Yasha Mounk's dismissal of an end to the End of History. Does he underestimate liberal democracy's inability to legitimise itself anymore? Is the talk of populism a way of deflecting from liberalism's undoing?

We then deal with your comments and questions on:

Critiques of the left and the absence of solutions

Post-Communist disappointments

Ecomodernism's limits

What 'abundance communism' might mean

Phil, please shut up with the insults toward your colleagues and just make your arguments. It’s distracting and a waste of time to listen to them.

Your mum (with whom I've been having a lot of unprotected sexual intercourse) and I have really been appreciating recent episodes. Keep it up!

It feels like you really gave short shrift to the comment regarding rebuilding civic associations and the lack of free time. People have astronomically larger amounts of free time and vacation time and other forms of time away from work than they ever did in the industrial era. Yet paradoxically, we had much more vibrant participatory institutions then then we do now. That suggests to me that the decline in civic life really has nothing to do with the amount of free time people have or don't have. The bigger question is why are people now less inclined to be "joiners" then they seemingly were in the past
