| RE: <nettime> Francis Fukuyama vs Reality |
Regarding Fukuyama, Joy, et al., I would highly recommend reading Arthur
C. Clarke's book titled "Profiles for the Future," which was written in
the 1960s. Clarke, as usual, was way ahead of his time...

Subject: <nettime> Francis Fukuyama vs Reality
Well... in a case that makes most of the bickering between the "Old
Left" and "New Left" look like the absurd meaningless conflict that
it is... thumbs vs cell phones vs "public funding" c'mon - Fukuyama
who rose to prominence in Right wing circles with his "The End of
History..." is back at it - this time maybe he's on the side of the
"thumb tribe" - after all, he's President Bush's advisor on science
and bio-ethics... what a world... between knuckleheads on the Left
being uncertain about how to make money, versus knuckleheads on the
Right who pretty much have no problem with destroying the planet...
what's a young kid to do in this day and age... Join the army? Write
meaningless reviews for the Village Voice (ha!) or go to a party? You
figure...
just some thoughts...
