Quiet public

I have been thinking about freedom in connection with the current global developments, also in connection with Francis Fukuyama's end of history idea; which I admit I do not fully grasp.

It is this. Freedom might just hide in the messiness of life. In its turmoil lies its opportunity. In Chinese the word crisis means chaos and opportunity. That is the mystery worth preserving.

Fukuyama's thought experiment in hindsight sounds like a jail sentence for most.
