#Hari Seldon

Isaac Asimov: the first five books of my Foundation series tell how one mathematician became a legend by predicting social forces at interplanetary scales.

Also Asimov: the 6th book will be a prequel about him being dunked on for months straight for not knowing liberal arts like at all. He gets owned so badly by experts in other fields that he repeatedly nearly dies. I’ll open each chapter with an excerpt from an encyclopedia written ten thousand years later that makes this period of Seldon’s life sound historically important and mysterious, but then the actual story is about how this moron doesn’t know the word “religious” or how to use an oven or clock. The novel will stress out the same types of readers who are bothered by It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia because if Craig Mazin, Charlie Day, and Megan Ganz wrote an episode called “Dennis invents Psychohistory” that work would be functionally identical to this novel to all but the shrewdest of branch managers of a regional paper company. While this novel is a prequel, it will advance readers’ understanding of the Foundation setting as ineffective Trantorian leaders trip over themselves trying to capture Seldon, while he continuously fails upward like Bill Murray in the film The Man Who Knew too Little so preposterously and frequently that it will become inescapably thematically clear that his Foundation can only inevitably do the same. I expect this will be a great comfort to readers.

Me: huh, that was a choice.

Here we are trying to save humanity and we can't even save the lives of the ones we love. You take the pain and the what-ifs, and you weave that into a narrative that propels you forward.

character development of (or rather, the development of how one perceives the character) Hari Seldon was one of my personal fave aspects of the show 😌

Foundation 1x01 The Emperor's Peace "When I was a child, I told my mother I wanted to learn every planet in the Galactic Empire… beginning in the center and moving out to Star’s End. Each night, she told me stories. I traveled light-years… my mind expanding to hold more and more worlds. But I never reached Terminus. Straddling the farthest reaches of civilization, unsettled by man… it was the end. And its story remained dark to me until many years later. Until it became my story. Until it became… the only story."
