Discover The Law of History
“A single, simple algorithm
rules the mind
and the whole human world”
We humans live in a world
where everything permanently changes.
Only one thing never changes,
the force that sets everything in motion,
our lives and our world.
This force is unique
and universal.
It connects everything.
It drives all events,
from our most intimate thoughts,
to the millennial rise and fall of civilizations.
This force is the deep logic of the human mind, the single, simple algorithm that ultimately commands all our thoughts and actions, our dreams and relations, friendships, deals, calculations, alliances and wars. It is the Law of History.
Its existence defies intuition. Yet its manifestations are everywhere to be observed. For three hundred years it was the greatest problem faced by science. Pioneers demonstrated it had to exist. But they could not identify it. They would have needed to work together to succeed. The unifying solution remained a mystery for decades. This book at last connects their discoveries and presents for the first time a single, factual, global explanation.
Humanity is confronted with multiple crises of unprecedented scale. Our destiny depends on our capacity to learn to govern ourselves. And we can only do so by understanding what really drives us. This book attempts to lay down the foundation of a coherent human science.
The Law of History Vol. I, The Universal Logic of the Human Mind, proposes a new paradigm for human science. It explains how the mind structures itself and how it determines each individual’s thoughts, actions and relations. All human narratives reproduce the same structure. Human activities obey, as a result, a predictable, universal dynamics.
The Law of History, Vol. II, The Destiny of Civilization will push further back the borders of our knowledge in human science. It will explore the very long-term consequences of the universal dynamics in human activities. It will reveal how they shape all civilizations, including our own, and determine their rise and fall.
