Not if your Milo’s liver

Didn’t even have to click to know Milo has created another Googledy Bunker. It’s a great series and I recommend the rest of his work.
By his, I mean miniminuteman

100% wfh is hard to beat when looking at new positions. I’d have to at least double my income for me to go into the office

I’m flipping between “why is there cuneiform Unicode” and “of course there’s cuneiform Unicode” much more rapidly than I really expected

So, what Hari does is basically game theory on a massive scale. The larger the group, the less complexity because you’re abstracting the different possible issues individuals would have out of the problem. Instead of making it more complex, it simplifies the whole thing because all the chaotic bits cancel each other out.
And slight spoiler warning for an old story but you find out later that the whole thing isn’t just predicted ahead of time and let loose but a group of people follow along in the shadows to keep the plan on track.

At the time Hari tried to apply it at the small scale, it was impossible. I believe by the time Gaia takes over the science could be applied to the single organism but that also feels like cheating.
The whole point of prelude and forward was that his attempts to start on the smaller scale by going backwards in time was a fools errand and impossible but starting with the relatively small scale of just Trantor was doable as it had sufficient mass to apply the generalized mathematics towards. The variables on the smaller scales were too numerous but as you abstract towards larger bodies, it reduces the complexity to the point it becomes calculable.
Well, not the whole point but still

Psychohistory was designed for large groups. It wasn’t designed for single creatures like butterflies

- Comment on Spaceballs 2 in the works with Josh Gad starring, Mel Brooks producing 5 months ago:
I will accept him in one of two roles: the Schwartz Ghost of Dark Helmet or Crayola Wren, the plucky and colorful yet angsty child of Lone Star and Princess Vespa who idolizes Dark Helmet.
Crayola Wren draws pictures of Dark Helmet in whatever the current equivalent to a Lisa Frank notebook is.

I like both for their own interpretations. Brotherhood kept to the story the creator wanted to tell and when 03 caught up to the original story, instead of making insane amounts of filler to wait for more story (looking at you dbz), they took their own direction and it goes wild in all the best ways.
The only thing I don’t like about brotherhood is the lack of absolute fucking gutpunch of finding out what happened to create the talking chimera
