https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/27/books/review/francis-fukuyama-identity-kwame-anthony-appiah-the-lies-that-bind.html is what the New York Times wants us to think of these co-opted philosophers.

Fukuyama is discussed from 5:30
9:20 The Whig Interpretation of History
11:00 No historian would have given the Whig Interpretation of History any credence. It is a stupid political scientist idea.
12:00 Academics are the worst people on earth in terms of understanding the arguments of the other side. They are extraordinarily parochial and narrow-minded.
19:00 Democracy means zilch. We need to get away from worshipping democracy. Liberal democracy, like Pan-Arabism is going to fail, and fail hard.
