Correct. That is my point.

Also, easily proven:

"#History means" human history. "
All human societies are complex.
All complex systems are determined by a #Chaotic #Attractor.
Q. e. d.

It is so simple, I wonder I've never seen it written before.

Also, it opens up a case for #FoundationTrilogy's popular science, #Psychohistory.

This week, a new scientific study showed that...

Our latest weekly roundup of academic #ClimateResearch related to our climate blunder includes 144 reports, by 826 contributing investigators.

We're certainly not suggesting the article is science fiction, but fans of #IsaacAsimov's #FoundationTrilogy and central character #HarrySeldon may find one #OpenAccess item particularly interesting: "Phase synchronization between culture and climate forcing," via Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences.

#History

I've put this article on my reading list.
Sounds like the #PsychoHistory concept invented by #IsaacAsimov's #SciFi classic, the #FoundationTrilogy, is gaining some traction in RL.

Asimov's books span a thousand years. No way to adapt that to a television serial format, so the story was modified/adapted for the format. Goyer and others took the essential elements of Asimov's story and wove a new narrative around it, while maintaining the critical pivot points of the novels that drive the story forward.

I think they've done an amazing job and made the first sci fi books I read into an elegant television series.

Foundation Season 2

*actually I don't know if there is any mindpower stuff in this season, but I know for sure there was some mindcontrol thingy in the books.

I'm only just (2y later) finding out about #Foundation being televised. I'm equal parts excited and nervous to watch it. It'll be amazing if they can pull off the sheer scale of the books.

I mean what the hell did they do to these books with these covers?

Have you read the #Dune Saga by #FrankHerbert?
However, vocabulary might not be easy.

Where it definitely is not easy, but a must-read, nonetheless, is #IsaacAaimov's #FoundationTrilogy.

A much easier read, but a really old one and in the #PlanetaryRomance genre, is the #Barsoom franchise, featured yesterday in our #SciFiSaturday on the #Fediverse:
