    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.

    Step into the world of payment innovation with Pierre Aurel, Chief Product Officer, and Norman Frankel, Chief Growth Officer at Stanchion Payments as they demystify SoftPOS technology - the revolutionary software turning ordinary smartphones into powerful payment terminals.SoftPOS fundamentally transforms how merchants accept payments, enabling any NFC-capable Android or iOS device to process contactless transactions without specialized hardware. This breakthrough eliminates barriers for small businesses, sole proprietors, and mobile vendors who previously couldn't justify the expense of traditional payment terminals. As Norman reveals, one European bank reported that 25% of all their acquired transactions came from SoftPOS applications just one year after launch - a testament to the technology's rapid adoption.Security concerns have been meticulously addressed through rigorous standards including PCI MPOC, creating a protected environment for processing sensitive payment data on everyday devices. While implementation requires significant investment from software providers to meet these standards, the end result delivers enterprise-grade security with consumer-grade simplicity.The technology has found unexpected champions across diverse sectors. Churches embraced it during the pandemic for contactless donations, government mandates in countries like Romania and Greece accelerated adoption for tax compliance, and major retailers including Walmart and Decathlon deploy it for queue-busting and business continuity during outages.Looking ahead, Pierre envisions improvements in NFC antenna technology to enhance the payment experience, deeper integration into everyday applications, and the blurring of lines between e-commerce and in-person payments. For merchants considering the switch, the benefits are compelling - potential savings of $300+ compared to terminal rental costs, enhanced payment flexibility, and no more missed sales due to uncharged or malfunctioning hardware.

    Andrew Kroeger joins Dr. Sandie Morgan as the two discuss how anyone can find their unique role in fighting human trafficking without changing careers, using the metaphor of grabbing a handle on an ancient Greek pithari jar. Andrew Kroeger Andrew Kroeger is a podcast producer with over a decade of experience and a proud Vanguard alum. Before podcasting, he worked in book publishing as an editor and spent years as a live sound engineer. He's also passionate about global missions, having spent many summers living in Romania, doing outreach work for the past eight years. Andrew has been the invisible force behind this podcast, editing every episode, managing the website, and ensuring content reaches listeners in over 170 countries. What's fascinating is how Andrew never set out to work in anti-human trafficking - this opportunity came to him through his existing skills and connections. Key Points Andrew's journey into anti-trafficking work began as a Vanguard student doing live sound for events, which led to connections that eventually brought him to podcast production work eight years later. The pithari metaphor illustrates how fighting human trafficking requires many people finding their unique "handle" - you don't need to carry the entire burden alone, just find where your skills fit. Andrew emphasizes that people don't need to change careers or entire life directions to make a meaningful impact in anti-trafficking work - opportunities often come through existing skills and connections. His global mission experience, particularly in Romania and Egypt's "Garbage City," gave him firsthand perspective on trafficking issues that keeps him passionate about the work. Eight years of editing every episode has transformed Andrew from a "tech guy" into a content expert who can now play an editorial role in shaping the podcast's message. Working consistently with anti-trafficking content can lead to emotional numbing, requiring intentional effort to maintain compassion and avoid becoming cynical about the work. The podcast's focus on hope and human dignity, rather than just statistics and outcomes, sets it apart from other anti-trafficking content and prevents burnout. Andrew's favorite episodes are those featuring Romania because they connect to his personal mission experience, and the recent AI episode with David Tyre because it showed how emerging technology can help rather than hinder anti-trafficking efforts. The podcast is transitioning to video format to reach more students and young professionals who prefer visual content and want to share episodes with friends and classmates. Finding your "handle" means recognizing opportunities that come to you naturally rather than forcing your way into anti-trafficking work - partnership is often more effective than starting from scratch.

    Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a global leader in IT services, consulting, and business solutions, has announced the expansion of its capabilities in the rapidly evolving Software-Defined Vehicles (SDV) space. TCS sets up two new Automotive Delivery Centres in Germany - located in Munich and Villingen-Schwenningen, as well as an engineering centre in Romania. These new hubs mark a strategic move to help TCS' global automotive clients accelerate their transition to next-gen mobility solutions. The delivery centres in Germany will support automakers in developing and deploying TCS's software-driven services that cater to autonomous driving, infotainment, safety systems, and connected vehicle technologies. Meanwhile, the engineering centre in Romania will focus on designing and building advanced automotive software platforms to support early-stage development and innovation. This expansion is part of TCS's long-term strategy to strengthen its end-to-end automotive software capabilities, chip-to-cloud technologies, and services. In Ireland, the TCS team operating out of its Global Delivery Centre in Letterkenny works closely with its locally based client, JLR (Jaguar Land Rover), to support them in their move from a traditional automotive manufacturer to a software-centric organisation. The strategic location of these centres will enable close collaboration with leading European OEMs and global automotive enterprises, providing nearshore capabilities. The new centres currently house over 100 talented professionals who will work together with more than 2000 SDV Engineers across TCS global locations, including Ireland. This diverse and global talent pool will enable the development of next-generation automotive platforms for digital cockpits and infotainment, advanced driver assistance systems, and other critical SDV functions, supporting the full product lifecycle from concept and development to production and post-launch support. Regu Ayyaswamy, Senior Vice President & Global Head, Internet of Things (IoT) and Digital Engineering at TCS, said, "These new centres will position TCS at the forefront of automotive innovation, enabling us to deliver state-of-the-art solutions in autonomous driving and advanced cockpit systems. This expansion reaffirms our commitment to leading the transformation in the Software-Defined Vehicles space." TCS' expansion aligns with the global automotive industry's shift toward software-defined, connected, and autonomous mobility. As demand grows for intelligent vehicle technologies, TCS is well-positioned to lead the transformation. Europe is a strategically significant location for TCS's automotive delivery hubs due to its robust automotive industry and the presence of numerous leading automotive manufacturers in the region. TCS has been serving automotive customers in Europe for the past 25 years and has a strong presence in automotive hubs across the region, including Ireland. The organisation has been delivering innovative solutions in digital cockpit, electrification, autonomous vehicles, and connected car ecosystems through digital engineering, IoT, cloud, and data analytics. TCS also leverages Generative AI to accelerate product development with feature generation and testing in SDVs, enabling faster innovation and enhanced personalisation. Anupam Singhal, President and Business Group Head, Manufacturing, TCS, said, "The shift to software-defined vehicles marks a defining moment for the automotive industry. With the launch of these new centres, we are deepening our commitment to support OEMs in building the next generation of intelligent, connected, and sustainable vehicles. This expansion is a key milestone in our journey toward Future-Ready Mobility - where software, engineering, and design, backed by AI, converge to deliver safer, more personalised, and continuously enriching experiences for drivers and passengers."

    Send us a textThe ongoing activities throughout the U.S. by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has been dominating the news cycle recently and concerns and questions are growing about what to do if you or someone you love has an interaction with ICE at your place of employment, school or inside your community.  Association boards face unique challenges in today's immigration environment. Should boards and their management professionals screen residents for immigration status? What about the employees of association vendors or the residents' employees? In this week's Take It To The Board podcast, host Donna DiMaggio Berger sits down with immigration law expert Ira Kurzban (he literally wrote THE BOOK on Immigration Law) for a behind-the-scenes look at his Supreme Court arguments, current ICE enforcement tactics, and a comprehensive discussion on what could happen if federal agents arrive at private residential communities.A personal story sets the stage as Ira shares how his father arrived alone from Romania at age 12. This profound connection to immigration fueled Ira's decades-long legal advocacy, including arguing McNary v. Haitian Refugee Center before the Supreme Court – a landmark case that preserved judicial review of constitutional challenges to the immigration system.The conversation shifts to practical concerns for community associations as immigration enforcement intensifies. Donna and Ira deliver clear guidance on Fourth Amendment protections, explaining the critical distinction between administrative and judicial warrants when ICE agents appear at association properties. They emphasize that private communities retain significant rights to verify warrants and protect resident privacy.Whether you serve on a board, manage a community, or simply care about constitutional rights, this conversation provides essential insights for navigating the complex intersection of immigration enforcement and private property rights. Listen now to understand what's at stake when federal authorities knock on your community's door.Conversation Highlights: Why social media has significantly influenced both immigration policy and public perception of immigrantsWhat key immigration reform Ira recommends for today's policymakers and why it mattersHow certain countries are successfully balancing border protection with legal immigration and population growthWhy board members and property managers should understand their legal rights and obligations when immigration authorities approach private residential communitiesWhat immediate, informed actions boards need to take if ICE arrives at a property to avoid facing legal consequences How Ira prepared for and argued the landmark McNary v. Haitian Refugee Center case before the U.S. Supreme Court, and its impact on immigration lawHow immigration law is expected to evolve over the next 5 to 10 years and what factors will drive that changeRelated Links:Article: Miami Herald Op Ed: In South Florida, when ICE comes knocking, how should your HOA react?Book: Kurzbans Immigration Law Sourcebook, 15th EditionArticle: Becker Service Announcement: Florida's New Immigration LawBiography: Ira Kurzban

    Laurent remembers vividly his trip to Sofia Bulgaria in winter 2009 when the Russian had cut the gas for Bulgaria during a -15C winter. Russia was already playing hard ball because of (guess what) a financial disagreement with Ukraine. The blackmail lasted 3 weeks, and the poor Bulgarians were cutting the trees from their equivalent of Hyde Park or Central Park not to freeze to death.    Lots of progress has been made since then, and Eastern Europe is an emerging bright spot of development for Renewables. It is not just about Economics but also about Security of Supply. We bring in Dimitar Enchev, Cofounder & CEO Europe at CWP - a global renewable energy company, behind some of the largest projects in Southeast Europe.  CWP has been active since 2007 and developed the largest projects in Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, including Europe's largest onshore wind farm for 10 years – a 600MW project in Romania and has now partnered with Mercuria, one of the largest energy trading houses in the world. They discuss how Eastern Europe felt the largest blunt of Russia's Energy War and how they have been accustomed to living, surviving and thriving with a hostile and aggressive neighbour, always prompt to weaponize energy. Is Europe “bringing a knife to a gunfight” when it comes to countering Russia?We explain how opportunities have risen from this difficult environment and how the decorrelation of wind and solar between the East and West of the Continent, and a continuous integration with the global European Grid creates significant investment opportunities. It is about Transmission, Resilience, Hybridization and digitization.

It's where dictatorships begin to crack. Just ask Romania in 1989, as we discussed in our March episode, “How to Overthrow a Dictator.” Meanwhile, Trump's team can't even staff the Pentagon, according to reports.

Science is being purged, not for savings, but for submission. Stalin would be proud. So what do we do? We create. We resist. We document. We fund the arts. We fund scientists.

    David Ost, professor of politics and Hobart and William Smith, joins Suzi to unpack Poland's June 1 presidential election. The race was tight, but in the end, Karol Nawrocki, the far-right, hardline nationalist with MAGA-style politics and Trump's backing, narrowly defeated Warsaw's liberal mayor Rafał Trzaskowski. After voters rejected Trumpist candidates in recent elections in Canada, Australia and Romania, Polish voters went the other way, swinging back to the hard right just two years after electing liberal leader Donald Tusk. What does this election reveal about the continuing attraction of the authoritarian and nationalist right to working class voters? Ost argues that Tusk in power promised a program of radical changes, but delivered too little, dampening enthusiasm and turnout, echoing the troubles of Biden and Harris in the US. There was also the liberal-left campaign which focused on Nawrocki's negative personal qualities, including criticism of his tough working class background, rather than his reactionary, xenophobic, chauvinist agenda — missteps that fed class resentment and fueled the far right. Populism has shown to have staying power, and center-left governance has failed to offer a durable counter. Is Poland a warning to liberal democrats everywhere? What are the implications for Ukraine, Europe and the globe? Jacobin Radio with Suzi Weissman features conversations with leading thinkers and activists, with a focus on labor, the economy, and protest movements.

    Lawfare Contributing Editor Renée DiResta sits down with Daphne Keller, Director of the Program on Platform Regulation at Stanford University's Cyber Policy Center; Dean Jackson, Contributing Editor at Tech Policy Press and fellow at American University's Center for Security, Innovation, and New Technology; and Joan Barata, Senior Legal Fellow at The Future of Free Speech Project at Vanderbilt University and fellow at Stanford's Program on Platform Regulation, to make European tech regulation interesting. They discuss the European Union's Disinformation Code of Practice and its transition, on July 1, from voluntary framework co-authored by Big Tech, to legally binding obligation under the Digital Services Act (DSA). This sounds like a niche bureaucratic change—but it's provided a news hook for the Trump Administration and its allies in far-right parties across Europe to allege once again that they are being suppressed by Big Tech, and that this transition portends the end of free speech on the internet.Does it? No. But what do the Code and the DSA actually do? It's worth understanding the nuances of these regulations and how they may impact transparency, accountability, and free expression.

Riots in Los Angeles Prompt National Guard Deployment – Violent protests erupt in LA as leftist and migrant groups attack ICE agents and property after a wave of deportation raids. Videos show Molotov cocktails, bricks, and burning cars. Yet Democrat leaders insist the weekend was “peaceful.” President Trump sends in National Guard troops, sparking outrage from California officials who accuse him of staging a crisis. MS-13 Gang Member Returns to U.S., Is Re-Arrested – After Democrats demanded the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man deported to El Salvador, the Trump administration complied. Now back in U.S. custody, Garcia faces charges of human trafficking, child exploitation, and murder. Democrats are scrambling to explain their previous support. Illegal Migrants Smuggling Themselves Back to Mexico – Romanian criminal gangs, fearing Trump's immigration crackdown, are paying cartels $2,000 each to sneak them out of the U.S. and back to Romania via Mexico. Meanwhile, a Peruvian migrant caught in a restricted military zone is acquitted due to “insufficient signage.” Global Teasers: China, Iran, and Gaza on the Brink – Trump trade talks with China hit snags over rare earths. Iran buys missile fuel from China for use by terrorist proxies. Israel confirms the death of a top Hamas militant and begins arming anti-Hamas militias inside Gaza. More major updates expected throughout the week. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." – John 8:32

    John discusses a federal trade court blocking Trump's sweeping global trade tariffs. And he talks about Trump erupting when asked about 'TACO trade' ― a new nickname mocking his tariff approach. The acronym stands for "Trump always chickens out" a jab at the president's propensity to impose or threaten steep tariffs and later back off. After that - he discusses the social media influencer brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate who have now been charged in Britain with rape and other crimes. The Tates, who are dual U.S. and British citizens, were arrested in Romania in 2022 and formally indicted last year on charges that they participated in a criminal ring that lured women to Romania, where they were allegedly sexually exploited. The brothers have publicly supported Trump and the Trump administration had been pushing Romanian authorities to return the brothers' U.S. passports and allow them to leave the country. John then gossips with podcast star Bob Cesca about Trump's bitcoin grift, TACO trades, and his Big Beautiful Budget Bill. Next, It's the God Squad featuring Desimber Rose and Dillon Naber Cruz. They talk about the current persecution of Trans people.
