Announcing a new contest! As summer wends its way to the end, I am delighted to offer this entertainment for the diversion and edification of readers:
The Challenge: Name the silliest argument to be offered by a serious academic in the last 25 years and to be taken up and be gravely masticated by the larger world of intellectual debate.
His choice is Francis Fukuyama's "End Of History" thesis.
I kinda like the Y2K meltdown approaching December 31, 1999. I'm not sure it counts, but I'm putting it out there.
Nominations?
