David says that he is very influenced by Heidegger and Dreyfus but I think he's much more influenced Alan Ginsberg and Bob Dylan, and probably Marilyn Manson for that matter.
Venkat is more in touch with his pop culture influences and the Asimov/Harry Seldon angle is very fascinating. I think it's probably basically Ortega y Gasset (History as a System and Revolt of the Masses in particular) but I've never see him actually reference that.
I've never referenced that because I have no clue what it is though name rings a bell
you're writing about psycho-history so you will probably thoroughly enjoy that stuff, particularly if you enjoy contrarian, enlightened, elitist (the good kind!) intellectuals from the Second Spanish Republic.
he's the kind of guy that drew the intense ire of all of the following: commies, fascists, continental philosophers, analytic philosophers, historians, populists, and Freudians. in other words: A+++ recommend most highly
sounds like my kinda guy :D so you recommend history as a system as a starting point? this bit definitely describes my headspace well https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/gasset/#ExisPhenPhilLife …
his most famous book is Revolt of the Masses, which could be about Brexit/Trump as much as it is about the rise of authoritarian populism in 1930s Europe. I think you will personally enjoy History as a System the most out of his writings. Meditations on Quixote is excellent too.
just ordered all 3 from library, thanks :)
