Uh, thank you, Intelligence Squared.
Luke HardingGUEST
Um, yeah, I, I mean, uh, I was following-- as I was writing this book, I was following their kind of diplomatic efforts last year.
Luke HardingGUEST
The, the problem is that, um, everything is in inverted, you know, commas because i-it's, it's, as I sort of write in Betrayal, it's a simulacrum of diplomacy and action and engagement.
30 MINS LATER
Luke HardingGUEST
So, so there's that, the dictator envy, but I think as, as your leading question so ele- eloquently put it, the, the, it's, it's about kompromat and compromising material.
Alastair CampbellHOST
Well, indeed.

Francis FukuyamaGUEST
Uh, the world was pretty bad in the 1930s, but it's not really terrible in the year 2026, and so why is it that you have people on both the extreme right and the extreme left that say things have never been worse? And I think it really has to do with this unfulfilled desire for struggle, for some superior vision of the future that, you know, that can be embraced.

John DonvanHOST
This debate, originally recorded in 2019, is a staff favorite.
John DonvanHOST
And if you are watching this debate, you will notice our old name, Intelligence Squared US, is in the background, but we are open to debate.
John DonvanHOST
Let's get to it.
John DonvanHOST
The way that we were raised, we are all the product of that one way or the other, but to what extent? Parents are driven these days to produce the child who is the happiest, or the best, or the smartest, or fill in whatever your superlative is, and then there's the whole question of free range, or helicopter, or tiger, or what zip code do you choose to live in, or can you live in, and what about education, and what about the food you give your child? It is so much to think about and worry about, but what if science is telling mothers and fathers don't sweat it, it's out of your control more than you think because DNA is making most of the big decisions for you.
