My & Google AI's Combined Take on the Fukuyama Post-WWII Consensus:

Slavoj Žižek's work, particularly in The Sublime Object of Ideology, challenges the notion of an "end of ideology" (Strong Gods) championed by thinkers like Francis Fukuyama. He argues that ideology, far from disappearing, is deeply ingrained in contemporary society, operating through "doubling strategies" that simultaneously reveal and conceal its workings.

Andrei Tarkovsky

“We can express our feelings regarding the world around us either by poetic or by descriptive means... I prefer to express myself metaphorically. Let me stress: metaphorically, not symbolically. A symbol contains within itself a definite meaning, certain intellectual formula, while metaphor is an image. An image possessing the same distinguishing features as the world it represents. An image — as opposed to a symbol — is indefinite in meaning. One cannot speak of the infinite world by applying tools that are definite and finite. We can analyse the formula that constitutes a symbol, while metaphor is a being-within-itself, it’s a monomial. It falls apart at any attempt of touching it."
