Computer-age historian

Dr. Turchin champions this viewpoint that history, as well as other humanities, should be able to offer some sort of way to test the hypotheses that they formulate. So what does it mean? In that, if a historian has a theory why, let's say, the Roman Empire fell, I should be able to run a simulation and test his theory by trying to change the initial conditions and seeing if it changes the outcome, stuff like that. So on the one hand, I find it really fascinating that such an approach can actually be realized. On the other hand, I'm kind of skeptical, because it's quite possible that history is moving in some sort of chaotic manner, and maybe small changes, such as the death of one person, can have dramatic consequences for the whole outcome. Anyway, regardless, I find Dr. Turchin's books and articles and interviews very thought-provoking and interesting. I have a few interviews saved up in my bookmarks, and I'm looking forward to listening to them. In the meantime, I follow his appearances on different podcasts.
