FISKAYAMA! My spoonerized would-be nemesis, IsntaPundit, administers a thorough Fisking to Francis Fukuyama. Excerpt: “It is ironic that Fukuyama can bemoan the possibility of a ‘Posthuman Future’ even as he calls on us to cease the most categorically human of behaviors: the pursuit of knowledge.

“Fukuyama’s case is hopeless, of course. Trying to prevent humans from seeking knowledge is a doomed proposition. But it’s worth dissecting his views, if only to see how befuddled, gloomy, and unscrupulous is this enemy of science.” The whole thing, which features a paragraph-by-paragraph dissection of Fukuyama’s Salon interview that makes clear just how little actual argument there is to his arguments, is very much worth reading.
