The Plot of the Foundation Trilogy is Based on Psychohistory. Hari Seldon Predicted the Collapse of the Galactic Empire.

Psychohistory is a fictional science in Isaac Asimov's Foundation universe which combines history, sociology, and mathematical statistics to make general predictions about the future behavior of very large groups of people, such as the Galactic Empire. It was first introduced in the four short stories (1942–1944) which would later be collected as the 1951 novel Foundation.

NOVA: Prediction By The Numbers:
https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/video/prediction-by-the-numbers/
Predictions underlie nearly every aspect of our lives, from sports, politics, and medical decisions to the morning commute. With the explosion of digital technology, the internet, and “big data,” the science of forecasting is flourishing. But why do some predictions succeed spectacularly while others fail abysmally? And how can we find meaningful patterns amidst chaos and uncertainty?

In this World where The VAST Majority of the American People DO NOT READ BOOKS... Here are links to my favorite Great Books... Maybe spark an interest in reading!
Great Book: "Stranger in a Strange Land" by Robert Heinlein. He invented the word GROK. Which means to understand in a extremely deep level. Like the feeling you get reading Haiku on LSD.
http://gvan42.blogspot.com/2018/07/great-book-stranger-in-strange-land-by.html
Great Books:The "Lord of the Rings" Trilogy by JRR Tolkien. "The Hobbit" Classic fiction popular with Hippies in the Late Sixties. Made into Great Movies and Led Zeppelin Songs.
Great Book: "The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch" by Philip K Dick. Science Fiction about Martian Mineral Miners that Escape the Bad Quality of Life by Taking Psychedelic Drugs and Playing with a "Barbie Doll" House.
Great Books: Project MKULTRA CIA LSD American History "The Search for the Manchurian Candidate" by John Marks

Great Book: "I, Robot" by Isaac Asimov... The beginning of "The Robots Series" of books... also a Great Movie...
The three laws of Robotics:
1) A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm
2) A robot must obey orders give in to it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3) A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
With this, Asimov changed our perception of robots forever when he formulated the laws governing their behavior. In I, Robot, Asimov chronicles the development of the robot through a series of interlinked stories: from its primitive origins in the present to its ultimate perfection in the not-so-distant future--a future in which humanity itself may be rendered obsolete.
Here are stories of robots gone mad, of mind-read robots, and robots with a sense of humor. Of robot politicians, and robots who secretly run the world--all told with the dramatic blend of science fact & science fiction that became Asmiov's trademark.
Robots of Death |
Great Books: "Caves of Steel" and "The Foundation Trilogy" by Isaac Asimov... and the "Robots" books... There are about 16 books that merge together in Asimov's view of the Galaxy.
In the Foundation Trilogy we are introduced to the concept of Encyclopedia Galactica that stores all knowledge of all people everywhere... or as we know it today, Wikipedia...
Asimov also proposes Psycho-History... a way to calculate and predict The Future... We haven't figured out how to do that yet but... that seems to be a major goal of Artificial Intelligence...
In the Robots Books we are introduced to the Three Laws of Robotics which prevent Robots from harming People... Clearly, THAT is not how we do things... For Example: Drones that Drop Bombs on People...

On family day, my brother took us to visit Lawrence Livermore Lab. I remember the Shiva Project.

One time Martin took me to a Biology Trade Show in Washington DC at a big Hotel. A BioTech Company from England had invented a single celled animal that TASTED LIKE CHICKEN. We ate some... It was illegal for a BioTech Company to design and grow food in the USA but the laws allowed it in England. Quite like Zymoveal out of Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Books. I still believe that it's a good idea. I think it ate oil... Could solve World Hunger.

My Autobiography: Growing Up in Los Gatos, California in the 1960s by Gregory Vanderlaan - and Living in San Jose, Washington DC, Chico, Eureka and Orangevale, CA.
I Was Born in 1954. We lived Near the San Jose Airport until they Started Landing Jet Airplanes and We had to move... We went to Los Gatos in 1960. I lived there until graduation from Los Gatos High School in 1972... an Ideal Childhood... FYI: Los Gatos is about 50 miles South of San Francisco on the edge of the mountains between San Jose and Santa Cruz.
I Went to West Valley Jr. College, learned electronics drafting and got a job at System Industries in Santa Clara... I feel blessed that not only did I grow up in a great location but I also grew up at a great time. I missed the Vietnam War by ONE Year and Silicon Valley Was Hiring Like Crazy When I Needed a Job.
During the 1950s Americans went into a Mad Panic about Communists taking over the world. We built thousands of Nuclear Missiles and Fallout Shelters. The US Congress had witch hunts (Joe McCarthy-HUAC) to expose "Commies" who worked in The Hollywood Movie business and blacklisted folksingers that were leading our young people astray with Labor Union Organizing songs.
During the height of this hysteria Vice President Richard Nixon went on Television and explained "The Domino Principle" while pointing to a map of Asia. His theory was...
AMERICA'S BOGUS WARS - Since 1945, The US Military Has Never Defended The USA, Not Even Once.
Ever since Victory in Japan, All of Our Wars have been Marketing to Sell Weapons for the Military Industrial Complex.
