Wow. I think I'm finally catching up to where the TV show is hinting at going.

I'm taking my time with this one for some reason. Maybe cause it's a physical book.

Lot of talking … but still good nonetheless

“Human beings have been allowed to fester in the delightful game of I’m-better-than-you and cleaning up that mess isn’t easy. If we allow things to follow their own bent and grow worse for a thousand years, we can’t complain if it takes, say, a hundred years to work an improvement.”

“You don’t need schooling to be a philosopher. Just an active mind and experience with life. ”

- Hari Seldon

The intellectual fights Seldom and Dors get into are palpable. Reminds me of modern Internet fights if they were more civil.

I guess it's fitting this book starts off with a warning for what is next to come.

This is already starting off well.

“That’s it. Not just a demagogue, however. He commands a strong following and it’s getting stronger. He aims, he says, for social justice and greater political involvement by the people.”

Sounds eerily familiar…

It's funny how this book is centered around 'predicting the future with math' and a lot of the events can be predicated with current ones.
