It’s tough to deny that right now, the world can feel a bit like a standoffish middle school dance… with nukes. Foreign policy, geopolitics, international defense, and even long standing institutions like the European Union and, depending upon who you ask, democracy itself… have uncertain futures. Rather than indulging in our inner chicken little, it may be useful to know this isn’t, of course, the first time some people have felt like the end is nigh. As a matter of fact, depending upon who you ask–and we will… ask–it’s possible that either the world… OR HISTORY… has already ended; though at the end… of both of those things, and this episode, maybe we can find a beginning. Let’s talk some Francis Fukuyama and Jean Baudrillard. --Crash Course Mythology-- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeX6CX5LEj0 --COMMENT RESPONSES TO LAST WEEK’S EPISODE-- None this week --TWEET OF THE WEEK-- https://twitter.com/Manu_V/status/835151570031509505 --FURTHER READING & SOURCES-- http://www.wesjones.com/eoh.htm http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/026327698015001001 https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2017/02/09/the-man-who-declared-the-end-of-history-fears-for-democracys-future/?utm_term=.39c74a5f59d9 --ASSET LINKS-- 00:19 HIGH SCHOOL DANCE BATTLE - GEEKS VS COOL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5KeReQEUe8 00:23 This Is Fine Cartoon http://gunshowcomic.com/648 02:45 The Berlin Wall Falls 1989 NBC Coverage Pt1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fK1MwhEDjHg 04:17 New Nokia 3310 Vs Original Nokia 3310 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLbFHFsFCVQ 04:54 Waiting for the Bus - Cyanide & Happiness Shorts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLI2-kYMUEE 05:13 STS-129 HD Launch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsJpUCWfyPE 06:04 25 Stunning Timelapse GIFs http://blazepress.com/2014/03/25-stunning-timelapse-gifs/ 08:21 The Sixth Extinction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9gHuAwxwAs --MERCH-- https://store.dftba.com/collections/idea-channel T-Shirts Designed by: http://artsparrow.com/ -------------------------------------------------------------------- Written and hosted by Mike Rugnetta (@mikerugnetta) (who also has a podcast!
