I used to believe in the Whig interpretation of history, where progress leads to a more liberal and democratic future. However, recent trends—such as declining democracy indexes, the rise of illiberal states, and the resurgence of authoritarian leaders—make me question this narrative. Are we witnessing a reversal to the mean, or were the Enlightenment and post-WW2 eras just transient anomalies? The arrow of time may not always point towards progress. #WhigHistory #DemocracyInDecline
