people are so predictable

there arent any more surprises left in life, not when it comes to dealing with others at least, and it all seems so fake.
electrons are much better, they surprise you even when you think you've seen it all...

i'm completely convinced that psychohistory is doable. unfortunately we dont have a large enough perspective, and its going to be very error prone given the very small numbers we have.
the results am sure will provide no more information than a good guess would give regarding a situation - but it must be admired that asimov could use this to create an extremely famous series of novels...
