WHEN THE WISE MEN KNEW TO TALK ABOUT CRUCIAL ISSUES

Sometimes, I believe that in our "posttruth era", human beings have lost the capabilities to talk in a civilized manner and maybe, agree, though their differences. 

By then, it is necessary to rescue from You Tube, two relevant dialogues. One, between the British philosopher John Gray and the American intellectual and former officer of the Reagan Administration, Francis Fukuyama, talking inside the liberal tradition,about the Russian President Vladimir Putin.  

Here is this interesting debate.

And, secondly, I present a diplomatic meeting between former Chancellor of Reagan Administration, George Schultz and the last Soviet President, Mikhail Gorbachov.  

This is the link.

Certainly, times of Cold War and ideologival battles are over but war winds threaten the whole world, so, listening those wise men, maybe brings reason and another spirit to fight with the menace.
