"WhatifAlthist" | World History, Philosophy, CultureWTF is the Left Even Doing?We're living through a historic inflection point where the left lost the presidency but still dominates virtually every Western institution. Despite their electoral defeat, they control the bureaucracy, UN, Big Tech, media, academia, and even the Catholic Church—while the right has built no alternative power structures. The burning question is what the left will actually DO with this paradoxical position, as their own leadership seems unsure following Trump's victory. Their next moves will inevitably shape our historical trajectory as history is carved into stone before our eyes.--SP...2025-03-1759 min

Curious CrusadersCliodynamics and the American EmpireCliodynamics, introduced by Peter Turchin, uses quantitative methods to study long-term historical patterns, focusing on factors like population dynamics, economic inequality, and elite overproduction to explain societal changes.
Turchin's cliodynamic analysis suggests the United States is experiencing a period of instability due to these factors, predicting social unrest.
We examine this prediction, along with the underlying theories and potential implications for America’s future.2024-12-2023 min

Coming from a background in applied mathematics, Peter Turchin has gathered an unprecedented amount of historical data that he believes gives him a better chance than most of predicting how societies slide into grave crises. He's been proven right too: in the early 2010s, he predicted that 2020 would see a global rise in instability. Aaron Bastani finds out how he did...2023-06-191h 28

Uncertain ThingsThe Coming Collapse (w/ Peter Turchin)Scientist-turned-historian Peter Turchin is best known for a dire prediction he made in 2010: we were headed for serious unrest, circa 2020. Peter came to this (as-so-happened) accurate prediction by treating the soft science of history like a hard one — what he calls cliodynamics. He and his team quantified indicators of social unrest in previous historical periods, generating a database of information, and then created a structural-dynamic model that could determine the biggest drivers of social violence and societal collapse. Peter, who’s currently serving as the Project Leader at the Complexity Science Hub in Vienna, talks to us about his appro...2022-10-171h 03AI and the Future of Work: Artificial Intelligence in the Workplace, Business, Ethics, HR, and IT for AI Enthusiasts, Leaders and AcademicsAhmed Elsamadisi, Narrator CEO, is a roboticist by training and one of the first engineers at WeWork.

The DisconnectThe Mayhem of 2020 Was Predicted a Decade AgoThis Researcher Predicted 2020 Would Be Mayhem. Here’s What He Says May Come Next
Not everyone took Peter Turchin seriously a decade ago when he said widespread civil unrest would sweep through the U.S. in 2020.
“They had no reason to believe I wasn’t crazy,” says Turchin, a 63-year-old researcher who teaches cultural evolution at the University of Connecticut.
In 2010, after analyzing historical cycles of instability, Turchin made a prediction that was published at the time in the journal Nature: America will suffer a period of major social upheaval beginning around 2020.

Astral Codex Ten PodcastBook Review: Ages of DiscordLink: https://slatestarcodex.com/2019/09/02/book-review-ages-of-discord/ I. I recently reviewed Secular Cycles, which presents a demographic-structural theory of the growth and decline of pre-industrial civilizations. When land is plentiful, population grows and the economy prospers. When land reaches its carrying capacity and income declines to subsistence, the area is at risk of famines, diseases, and wars – which kill enough people that land becomes plentiful again. During good times, elites prosper and act in unity; during bad times, elites turn on each other in an age of backstabbing and civil strife. It seemed pretty reasonable, and a...2019-09-0347 minAstral Codex Ten PodcastBook Review: Secular CyclesThere is a tide in the affairs of men. It cycles with a period of about three hundred years. During its flood, farms and businesses prosper, and great empires enjoy golden ages. During its ebb, war and famine stalk the land, and states collapse into barbarism. Chinese population over time At least this is the thesis of Peter Turchin and Sergey Nefedov, authors of Secular Cycles.
