Скачать или смотреть Geo-Strategy END | Psychohistory: AI and the Future of Humanity

In the final and most visionary episode of Geo-Strategy, Professor Jiang Xueqin turns from the destruction of empires to the creation of a new science — Psychohistory, the study of how humanity can imagine, predict, and shape its future.

After years of analyzing how arrogance, ideology, and hubris lead civilizations to collapse, Jiang asks a radical question:

“Can we use science, data, and artificial intelligence to stop history from repeating itself?”

📌 Key Insights in This Episode:

1️⃣ From Empire to Understanding:
Jiang concludes that humanity’s greatest threat is not any single empire, but our collective blindness to historical patterns.
Every empire falls the same way — through overconfidence, inequality, and moral decay.
But this time, we have tools to see it coming.

2️⃣ The Birth of Psychohistory:
Inspired by Isaac Asimov’s Foundation series, Jiang defines Psychohistory as a fusion of mathematics, sociology, and AI a discipline capable of predicting large-scale social behavior and even preventing collapse.

3️⃣ The Role of Artificial Intelligence:
AI and supervised machine learning already mirror the early principles of Psychohistory identifying patterns in vast historical data.
But unlike Asimov’s fiction, Jiang insists real Psychohistory must be transparent, collaborative, and ethical, not a secret tool of power.

4️⃣ The Limits of Prediction:
Jiang acknowledges what he calls “the edge cases of history” unpredictable moments shaped by great individuals, emotions, and moral choices.
No machine can foresee courage or faith. Humanity must remain in the loop.

5️⃣ The Future of Civilization:
The lecture ends with a message of hope and responsibility.
History, Jiang argues, is not fate it’s feedback.
And with the rise of AI, humans now have the power to learn faster than ever before if they choose wisdom over domination.

🎯 Main Idea:
Psychohistory is not about controlling the future. It’s about understanding it and giving humanity a second chance to evolve beyond empire.
