I am rereading my favorite H. Beam Piper novels. Four Day Planet, Junkyard Planet (aka The Cosmic Computer), and Space Viking.
I like them for the world building, and for the themes of progress and development. Junkyard Planet even has notes of Asimov's psychohistory.
I do not personally care for Piper's politics, especially in Space Viking. About on par with Jerry Pournelle. You have been warned.

All the characters seemed to have gone slightly mad, and there are strange new plot devices like Seldon being able to change physical location at will (or by Gaal with the aid of… maths 😆) and the Prime Directive becoming sentient, which at the very least seems like a major oversight by Seldon.
Also, I thought #psychohistory was supposed to not be about the behaviour of individuals, yet supposedly the (apparently successful) solution to the first crisis has unleashed an unfortunate chain of events just because Gaal wasn’t there—or was it the death of Raych? In any case, it all seems a bit tenuous (though gripping all the same).

In less than 2 weeks it's at 374 downloads (not acounting ~100 youtube views). The previous 30 day record holder was The Mule, pt 2 with 304 downloads. KSR might end up doubling that.

In der #Kriegsursachenforschung wird diese Beobachtung i.d.R. nicht hervorgehoben und mit gestörten "Emotionen von Nationen" (bzw. Kindheitstraumata) verbunden.
➡️siehe dazu "War as a Sacrificial Ritual" (#Psychohistory / #LloyddeMause)
Um die Psychodynamik des aktuellen Kriegsgeschehens in der #Ukraine umfassender zu verstehen, hat Forscher Ludwig Janus unter dem Titel „Warum #Krieg?“ einen Aufsatz geschrieben, hier als pdf zum Nachlesen: https://ogy.de/jd2u
