Profile of Francis Fukuyama

[gkanai]

Fukuyama makes the news almost every year with his prolific authoring of books that cover various topics, most famously, "The End of History."

His solitary upbringing was intense, academic and culturally complex. He was born in 1952. His paternal grandfather emigrated from Japan to Los Angeles in 1905 to avoid being conscripted in the Russo-Japanese war. His father was born in Los Angeles, his mother arrived in the United States in 1949, and the family settled in New York.

He has a few relations in Japan, but no real connections. He does not speak the language. His parents did, but only when they wanted to hide something from him, a poignant emblem of deracination and concealment.

In New York, he went to a private school where most of the other children were Jewish - again, he was a loner.

He seems to have been hothoused intellectually. Both sides of his family were academic and his father had become a Congregationalist minister and acquired a PhD in sociology.

The whole profile is pretty interesting.

"The End of History."

Fukuyama thinks that globalized, "free-market" capitalism is the End of History. Sheeeeee-it. It wasn't the end of history in 1990, and it's not the end of the world, now.

"Everything is meaningless," says the Teacher, "utterly meaningless!" History merely repeats itself. It has all been done before. Nothing under the sun is truly new.
-King Solomon, Ecclesiastes 1:2,9.


With Fukuyama sitting on the President Bonehead's Council on Bioethics, I know were my enemies are. He is against stem-cell research and therefore he is my oppressor. His the naturalistic-fallacy packed book "Our Post-Human Future," says I'm better off dead than DNA treated: I think he's better off dead.

Alright, Taro took the words right out of my mouth.
