All Ends Produce A Beginning...

Continued from A1... 

   Francis Fukuyama stated, that history ended when the Soviet Union fell. Citing that Liberal Democracy has won the ideology war for “supreme governance”. Did 9/11 signify the return of history? If so, has the shift over the last 20 years from Liberal Democracy to Authoritarian regime shown itself as a new challenger? Could it be argued that human history began to die when the photograph was invented and accelerated with the invention of Television and Movies? The ability to preserve human issues and present them within segments ranging from 30min to hours. That a show or movie could now be viewed for eternity on reruns. It has not been a quick death, but an elongated fight, which history almost lost with the advent of social media and infinite scrolling. A shift from a chronological timeline to a algorithm controlled feed. Now with blockchain as a ledger and NFT serving as a digital notary public, does that mean history is back and back in a big way? Can liberal democracy reformulate itself and remove the baggage it has collected over the last 50 or so years or will liberal democracy be placed in the trash-bin of history like many great social experiments before it?
