He lectured on both paradoxes at Cambridge University to the Moral Sciences Club in 1972. (A descendent of this lecture now appears as Kripke 2011). Gilbert Harman transmitted Kripke’s new paradox as follows:

The foremost group emphasising this approach was the Twelve Tribes of Israel, whose members came to be known as "Uptown Rastas". Among those attracted to Rastafari in this decade were middle-class intellectuals like Leahcim Semaj, who called for the religious community to place greater emphasis on scholarly social theory as a method of achieving change. Although some Jamaican Rastas were critical of him, many came under the influence of the Guyanese black nationalist academic Walter Rodney, who lectured to their community in 1968 before publishing his thoughts as the pamphlet Groundings. Like Rodney, many Jamaican Rastas were influenced by the U.S.-based Black Power movement. After Black Power declined following the deaths of prominent exponents such as Malcolm X, Michael X, and George Jackson, Rastafari filled the vacuum it left for many black youth.

If you want to see where his ideology actually failed in the real world, you have to look at his disastrous run for the Peruvian presidency in 1990.The 1990 Presidential DefeatThe Arrogant Campaign: Llosa ran for president of Peru leading a coalition of traditional right-wing elite parties. He ran an incredibly out-of-touch, high-budget campaign that alienated the country's poor, indigenous, and working-class majority. The "Shock" Therapy: He openly promised harsh neoliberal economic reforms—essentially telling voters that things would get much worse before they got better. The Ultimate Humiliation: He was decisively beaten by a complete political outsider, Alberto Fujimori. The elite intellectual who thought he understood Latin American society perfectly was rejected by his own people. The Hypocrisy of His Later Years, The Ultimate Flip-Flop: For decades, Llosa lectured the world about liberty and anti-authoritarianism. Yet, in the 2021 Peruvian election, he shocked his remaining moderate supporters by endorsing Keiko Fujimori—the daughter of the very dictator who beat him in 1990 and who was jailed for human rights abuses.
