I’m finding it consistently funny that Asimov seems to view psychology’s principle and most important goal to be predicting human behavior like a hard science, in a way that can be calculated out with the same certainty as kinematics or chemical reactions. It’s like he can’t envision a use for soft sciences that doesn’t just make them hard sciences. I’m honestly finding the psychohistory stuff pretty dull here, tbh - it’s like making a story out of characters’ lack of agency.
