Predictive History

In his Foundation series, Isaac Asimov proposed that the science of "psycho-history" will help humanity understand its past, predict its future, and control its present. This channel is dedicated to exploring if "psycho-history" is indeed possible. This channel seeks to answer the following three questions: 1. What models, theories, and paradigms help us best understand world history? 2. What does history teach us about our current predicament? 3. How much of the future can be predicted?
