Open Discussion: Asimov’s Robots, Empire, and Foundation Series
I think there are some ridiculously close parallels in what Asimov wrote and what most of the ideas we're seeing today. It occurred to me that there are too many similarities with the unorthodox ideas prevalent in society today for it to be coincidentally. If possible, I'd like to discuss this with others who have read all 8 books to see if my recollection is correct.

I thought that the Psychohistory concept with detailing the right algorithms and determining initial conditions to predict the future is similar to the social media (and all other sources of) data mining going on, they are using personal and financial data collected on our accounts to predict the future in order to persuade us to buy more things.
Not quite the same lofty goal.
The parallels I'm referring to in this 8 book series are in the rise and acceptance of homosexual and hermaphrodites, the normalization of sex with children, offspring or not, and the hive mind mentality.
not in a way that cannot be changed by someone else
the fools that are creating AI are NOT doing it to better humanity, for the most part
like the fools trying to re-create dinosaurs, they simple want the fame of being the first
