Last month, Francis Fukuyama was scheduled to come to Washington, DC for a live taping of Wisdom of Crowds. Unfortunately, as subscribers know, Frank lost his voice the morning of his scheduled appearance, and we were forced to cancel. However, we were able to record a bit of conversation with him and Shadi Hamid the following day, with a few colleagues asking questions.The conversation ended up being a quasi-“state of liberalism” address, perfect for July 4th weekend.The conversation begins with Frank discussing the current challenges to liberal societies, addressing why some in the West today might be dissatisfied with it, but also why people living in autocratic regimes throughout the world still long for liberalism. He talks about the lassitude and dissatisfaction that permeates liberal societies, and the contradictory desires for ever-greater equality and spirited competition that drive citizens to rebel against liberalism.During the question and answer session, Fukuyama takes questions about recent events. He discusses the rise of right-wing parties in Europe, as well as recent developments in France, Germany and Romania. He touches upon citizenship, borders, deportations and Trump's immigration policies. And he answers the question that was on everybody's mind that night: Is history still over?Required Reading* Francis Fukuyama, “The End of History?” (National Interest). * CrowdSource, “Fukuyama's Children” (WoC). * Damir and Shadi's 2022 conversation with Francis Fukuyama (WoC).* Santiago Ramos, “Kicking the Ladder” (WoC).Wisdom of Crowds is a platform challenging premises and understanding first principles on politics and culture.

Flowing with God or Fighting against God? Scale of 1-10 If flowing with God is a 10—and fighting against God is a 1—where are you on that scale? Acts 4:36-37 Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (which means “son of encouragement”), 37 sold a field he owned and brought the money and put it at the apostles' feet. Acts 5 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. 2 With his wife's full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles' feet. 3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? 4 Didn't it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn't the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.” 5 When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened. 6 Then some young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him. 7 About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 Peter asked her, “Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land?” “Yes,” she said, “that is the price.” 9 Peter said to her, “How could you conspire to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.” 10 At that moment she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband. 11 Great fear seized the whole church and all who heard about these events. Beware of hypocrisy. 12 The apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people. And all the believers used to meet together in Solomon's Colonnade. 13 No one else dared join them, even though they were highly regarded by the people. 14 Nevertheless, more and more men and women believed in the Lord and were added to their number. 15 As a result, people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and mats so that at least Peter's shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by. 16 Crowds gathered also from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing their sick and those tormented by impure spirits, and all of them were healed. 17 Then the high priest and all his associates, who were members of the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy. 18 They arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail. Beware of jealousy. 19 But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and brought them out. 20 “Go, stand in the temple courts,” he said, “and tell the people all about this new life.” 21 At daybreak they entered the temple courts, as they had been told, and began to teach the people. When the high priest and his associates arrived, they called together the Sanhedrin—the full assembly of the elders of Israel—and sent to the jail for the apostles. 22 But on arriving at the jail, the officers did not find them there. So they went back and reported, 23 “We found the jail securely locked, with the guards standing at the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside.” 24 On hearing this report, the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests were at a loss, wondering what this might lead to. 25 Then someone came and said, “Look! The men you put in jail are standing in the temple courts teaching the people.” 26 At that, the captain went with his officers and brought the apostles. They did not use force, because they feared that the people would stone them. 27 The apostles were brought in and made to appear before the Sanhedrin to be questioned by the high priest. 28 “We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name,” he said. “Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man's blood.” 29 Peter and the other apostles replied: “We must obey God rather than human beings! 30 The God of our ancestors raised Jesus from the dead—whom you killed by hanging him on a cross. 31 God exalted him to his own right hand as Prince and Savior that he might bring Israel to repentance and forgive their sins. 32 We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.” 33 When they heard this, they were furious and wanted to put them to death. 34 But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, who was honored by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered that the men be put outside for a little while. 35 Then he addressed the Sanhedrin: “Men of Israel, consider carefully what you intend to do to these men. 36 Some time ago Theudas appeared, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men rallied to him. He was killed, all his followers were dispersed, and it all came to nothing. 37 After him, Judas the Galilean appeared in the days of the census and led a band of people in revolt. He too was killed, and all his followers were scattered. 38 Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. 39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.” 40 His speech persuaded them. They called the apostles in and had them flogged. Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. Beware of neutrality. 41 The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name. 42 Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Messiah.

Trump Declares Iran War Over, But Violence Continues President Trump announces a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran, marking the end of what he calls “The 12-Day War.” However, hours later, Iran fires missiles into Israel, killing civilians and casting doubt on the truce. Trump credits intense negotiations, a coordinated missile strike on a U.S. base in Qatar, and backchannel diplomacy with Qatar for securing peace, though federal agencies are still bracing for cyberattacks and sleeper cell threats. Iran's Military Crippled, Supreme Leader Marginalized Israel's extensive bombing campaign has left Iran's military and missile infrastructure devastated. The Fordow nuclear site is believed to be inoperable, and Tehran's airspace has been compromised. Trump warns Iran and its allies not to test American resolve, while U.S. intelligence keeps close watch on potential "loose nuke" material and foreign meddling from Russia or China. Supreme Court Sides with Trump on Deportation Powers The Court allows the deportation of illegal immigrants to countries that are not their homeland, marking a win for the White House and a relief for ICE agents stranded in Djibouti. However, a Democrat judge in Boston defies the ruling, creating legal chaos. Florida responds by building a new migrant facility in the Everglades, dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz.” Mexican Mayor Praises Trump's Border Plan The mayor of Nogales, Mexico, endorses Trump's deportation strategy, saying it brings order and coordination that benefits border communities. Meanwhile, revelations emerge that leftist protestors are being hired through companies like Crowds on Demand to disrupt immigration enforcement. Violence Against ICE Agents Surges DHS reports a 500 percent increase in assaults on ICE officers. Officials and family members are being doxxed, attacked, and harassed, as Democratic leaders call ICE a “secret police” and demand agents show their identities while defending protestors' rights to wear masks. Nebraskans Line Up to Work in Meatpacking. No Migrants Needed A new beef processing plant in North Platte, Nebraska, is drawing strong interest from American workers with 2,000 applicants for 850 jobs. Workers like Angela Jones are earning $25 an hour with benefits, challenging the narrative that Americans won't take “dirty jobs.” "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." – John 8:32 Take your personal data back with Incogni!

The celebrations are continuing in red and black country following the Crusaders Super Rugby triumph at the weekend. Crowds are gathering in central Christchurch this afternoon to catch a glimpse of the players with the Super Rugby trophy, back in their hands after a forgettable 2024 season. Reporter Adam Burns spoke to Lisa Owen.
When crowds of hungry people gathered around Jesus, He told His disciples, “You give them something to eat.” Bishop Paul demonstrates how this exhortation of Jesus extends to us today. There is an “echo from Eden” in the hearts of people around the globe, a yearning for Jesus in the face of secularism’s failure to deliver justice, safety, and joy. To meet the missional moment before us, we must rely on the power of Jesus to feed the crowds in our own context.

Have you ever been caught up in the movement of a crowd? Sometimes this is literal, physical movement that pushes you in a direction. But crowds can move us in other types of directions as well. We can be swayed to change our beliefs, our morals, or the way we treat people. This sermon looks at Luke 11:14-36. In this passage Jesus interacts with a crowd of people made up of different groups. Some are amazed at the spectacle of what he does. Others are skeptical of his teaching. Others are even slanderous and say things against Jesus. We see how he interacts with these groups and are challenged to think about whether we are just following the crowd or if we are willing to break out of the crowd and follow Christ.
When it comes to managing safety at large-scale events, most people think of stewards, barriers, and emergency plans. But behind the scenes, there's a growing role for technology - and one Irish company is leading the charge. Safe Events Global, led by Strategic Director Mark Breen, has quietly built a reputation as an international leader in crowd and event safety - and much of that success is down to the tech they've built in-house. Mark Breen said, "we couldn't find a tech or software platform that really supported what we do as a specialist crowd and event safety company, so we built our own." What began as a bespoke system to streamline internal operations has since evolved into a robust suite of digital tools that now supports clients around the world. With a dedicated six-person Digital Operations Department, Safe Events Global isn't just bolting on tech - they're building it into their DNA. The company's proprietary systems manage everything from live crowd monitoring to risk assessments and communication protocols. "It started as something just for us," says Breen, "but we've iterated and improved it over time. Now we provide similar systems to international clients who face the same complex challenges we do." But Safe Events Global's ambitions go beyond technology for tech's sake. The company's vision is rooted in the belief that the best safety outcomes come from the right people, using the right tools. "Our core pillars are people + process," says Breen. "We integrate the best digital tools and technology to enable skilled safety professionals to be as effective as possible." This people-first approach also extends into training and education. Recognising a gap in formal qualifications for those working in crowd safety, Safe Events Global developed a Professional Diploma in Risk and Safety Management for Crowds and Events, accredited by a UK university. Now, they're working with an Irish university to launch a range of micro-credentials in key safety areas, with a view to creating a 'stackable' qualification path - a major leap forward for an industry where hands-on experience traditionally trumps formal education. "We want to professionalise this space," Breen says. "Ultimately, that means creating a third-level pathway for people who are responsible for the safety of hundreds of thousands of people. We see that as part of our long-term impact." On the ground, Safe Events Global is deeply involved in both local and international events - from music festivals to sporting fixtures - using tech to complement what Breen calls the "art and science" of safety. "There's a danger in adopting too much tech, too fast," he warns. "You still need experienced people who can read a crowd, react quickly, and make calls that an algorithm can't. Tech should support, not replace, that." As events become larger and more complex, and safety becomes ever more scrutinised, Safe Events Global is positioning itself not just as a supplier, but as a thought leader in the space - combining Irish innovation, hands-on expertise, and a future-facing approach to technology. For Mark Breen and his team, the mission is clear: safer events through smarter systems, better-trained people, and thoughtful use of technology - always with humanity at the core. Find out more about Safe Events Global at www.safeevents.ie An Irish Tech News podcast with Mark Breen will be published tomorrow. See more stories here.

These protests are taking place amidst a series of immigration measures by the Trump White House. Immigration lawyer Sui Ching and NPR correspondent Jasmine Garsd discuss the implications of all these recent developments.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit wisdomofcrowds.liveWhy do artists try so hard to shock the public? Why is Kanye West singing about Hitler? Why are New York artists dabbling with fascism?The novelist and cultural critic Țara Isabella Burton joins Damir Marusic and Santiago Ramos to discuss these questions and more. Last week, Tara published an essay on Wisdom of Crowds titled “The Point of Pissing People Off.” In it, she tries to figure out whether there is something positive at work in transgression and provocation — something good that comes out of shocking art.All three of our conversationalists agree: Kanye is not really being transgressive. But is there a good version of transgression? Tara suggests that we should think about transgression as a genre, with a certain form and structure, that can either succeed or fail. Damir is skeptical of analyzing transgression, and prefers to think of it as a moment of ecstasy. Santiago wonders if transgression is important for self-knowledge, and something valuable for society as a whole.In the course of the conversation, many transgressive works and artists are discussed, among them: Piss Christ; Madonna; Georges Bataille; the Marquis de Sade; and more.In our bonus section for paid subscribers, Damir talks about the difference between analyzing transgressive art and consuming transgressive art, and why he prefers the latter; Damir discusses the difference between the punk rock of his day, where Reagan was the enemy, and the transgressive art today, which hails Trump as a leader; Tara, Santiago, and Damir trade thoughts about the French Revolution; Santiago tries to get Damir to explain what he means when he talks about “the stuff”; they discuss the question of whether love is as powerful as transgression; Damir talks about his favorite part of the Gospels; and Tara talks about kitsch.Required Reading and Listening:* Tara, “The Point of Pissing People Off” (Wisdom of Crowds).* Tara, Strange Rites: New Religions for a Godless World (Amazon).* Tara, Self-Made: Creating Our Identities from Da Vinci to the Kardashians (Amazon).* Damir's discography from his punk rock days (Discogs).* Damir's music with his band, The Miss (Bandcamp).* Kanye West, “Heil Symphony” (Spotify).* “Kanye West's ‘Heil Hitler' Song & Controversy Explained” (Yahoo!

Bestselling author and journalist Douglas Murray joins Dr. Phil for a fearless deep dive into the ideological battles defining today's geopolitical crises. From Hamas' invasion on October 7th to the rise of anti-Israel sentiment in Western institutions, Murray dismantles the narratives fueling the global debate. How does legacy media shape public perception? Why are Hollywood and Jewish leaders hesitant to speak out? And what does Gaza's military infrastructure reveal about Hamas' strategy? This conversation isn't just about the Middle East—it's about the crisis facing Western democracies, the erosion of resilience, and the fight for heroism in an age of indoctrination. This episode challenges the narratives shaping today's conflicts—will you rethink what you've been told?” More about Douglas Murray: Author of 8 books, including On Democracies and Death Cults: Israel and the Future of Civilization (2025), The War on the West (2022), The Madness of Crowds (2019), and The Strange Death of Europe: Immigration, Identity, Islam (2017).

My guest is Tom Segura, renowned comedian, writer, actor and director. We discuss the “how-to” of comedy writing and storytelling, and what the science of humor and the creative process reveal about human emotion and memory. We explore why surprise and the act of "saying the unspoken truth" activate the brain's reward circuits, as well as the subconscious mechanisms that shape our sense of what is funny. The episode also examines the bi-directional influence between comedy and cultural standards. It will interest anyone curious about the science of humor, the art of performance and emotional contagion. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.
