Interesting. Do Western ideas of history come from a long line of freedom values? First the Classical , then the post classical that realizes universal security and freedom? The example of a boiling water is interesting: Modern China would be frozen water; while Africa would be boiling water. From our reference point. Liberalism and Republicanism then try and keep the water between those absolutes.

We draw on our consciousness to create the objects we desire in the present and future? Now, from technology, billions are engaging in that human action! Liberalism and Republicanism seem the best ideas or logic to have a chance of ending history: to restrain power and secure individual exceptionalism. Maybe not end history but burst it into fragments.
