The End of History and The Last Man
« on: April 19, 2024, 12:12:52 PM »
I've been in conversations with a couple of friends that I haven't seen for a while and am due to be meeting shortly, and in both cases the idea that there was not much to talk about jokingly arose. It's lead me to wondering that has there been a book whose thesis has become quite as risible after the fact? Was a superb title for his bank balance though even if one of a surfeit of The End of books in the run up to Y2K.

I haven't read it and don't intend to, but I've read about it and thought its thesis was ineffably silly.
When conspiracy nuts start spouting their bollocks, the best answer is "That's what they want you to think".
