      I wonder if Psychohistory is becoming a reality and who will be the real-life Hari Seldon?

          It's new to this thicko.

          But decision theory is a bit 101 (everyone here knows it but I guess will be new to non-IT peeps).

            I still read the Foundation series from time to time.

            Maybe Steve Jobs could have fulfilled the Hari Seldon role, but not sure who could now.

                No, that was written by EE 'Doc' Smith. Hari Seldon was created by Isaac Asimov
