Asimov and Flynn

On page 494 of Asimov's Foundation trilogy is The Prime Radiant, societal mathematics, with mention of mental abilities.


It's inspiring, but misses the point of epistemological self-consciousness.

A contemporary application telling of psychohistorical principles in in Flynn/s 'In the Country of the Blind'. I believe it is no accident that Flynn ends with music, an orchestration in which there are times for solos.
