Lately I’ve been marveling at the extent to which 99% of us are products of the reigning cliches of our times. I’m basically a procedurally generated zeitgeist bot same as most of you. A bit of birth data and AI would generate the main points of my life story in < 1000 tries.

You know about Peter Turchin, cliodynamics, and structural-demographic theory, right?
