I used to believe in the Whig interpretation of history, where progress unfolds towards a more liberal and democratic future. However, recent trends—such as declining democracy indices, the rise of illiberal states, and the resurgence of authoritarian leaders—challenge this narrative. It seems we might be witnessing a reversal rather than a march towards enlightenment. Are we experiencing a transient anomaly in history, or is this the natural order of things? The concept of "reversion to the mean" seems more compelling than ever. #WhigHistory #DemocracyInDecline #GlobalTrends
