Honestly, the numbers through the years have shown that when people show up to vote, the Dems win. That's literally all it takes. Everyone going to vote.

See, you'd think. But unfortunately, as an old song once put it: some of those who work forces are the same who burn crosses
So, what Hari does is basically game theory on a massive scale. The larger the group, the less complexity because you're abstracting the different possible issues individuals would have out of the problem. Instead of making it more complex, it simplifies the whole thing because all the chaotic bits cancel each other out.
And slight spoiler warning for an old story but you find out later that the whole thing isn't just predicted ahead of time and let loose but a group of people follow along in the shadows to keep the plan on track.
At the time Hari tried to apply it at the small scale, it was impossible. I believe by the time Gaia takes over the science could be applied to the single organism but that also feels like cheating.
The whole point of prelude and forward was that his attempts to start on the smaller scale by going backwards in time was a fools errand and impossible but starting with the relatively small scale of just Trantor was doable as it had sufficient mass to apply the generalized mathematics towards. The variables on the smaller scales were too numerous but as you abstract towards larger bodies, it reduces the complexity to the point it becomes calculable.
Well, not the whole point but still
Psychohistory was designed for large groups. It wasn't designed for single creatures like butterflies
It's not actually an attack shark, it just looks like that due to the angle. Both the shark and Kamala are sharing in a funny joke while Trump runs away
More likely Spanglish
It's translated as "fuck your maga"
Listing a bunch of decaprio movies and not adding Romeo and Juliet feels wrong. Everyone should experience it at least once.
Everyone going the biggest and best....
I suggest:
Both versions of House on Haunted Hill (evolution of the campy horror genre)
Both versions of Black Christmas (see horror tropes become them and the retelling)
Jason X (Jason the undying killer but in space!)
Teeth (if you needed a movie to really drive home that SA is bad)
Trainspotting (if you needed a movie to really drive home that drug addiction is bad)
The Room (a detailed instructional of how not to write a movie)
Super Mario Bros 1993 (watch as both the main characters appear to become more drunk as the story goes on because their actors actually were) .... And the new one I guess. It's ok but not as entertaining on a meta level
DOA Dead or Alive (possibly the most true to source video game movie and a fun martial arts movie)
Patch Adams (if you can watch the whole thing twice, you're better than me. That third act is brutal emotionally for me)
Slaxx (do not read anything about it. Go in blind. Enjoy the layers of what the actual fuck is going on)
Dungeons and Dragons 2000 (about as accurate a oneshot as I've ever seen. Also, Jeremy Irons being peak Jeremy Irons)
What the bleep do we know (Science! Physics! Learning!)
Wicker man (Cage version during the height of him taking literally any role to pay off debts. Watch him overact and punch a woman in a bear suit)
Romeo and Juliet (decaprio version. Shakespeare but in modern day Miami. They do not update the language to current English.)
I've got more but that should be good for a few days worth of watching.
Read the last part of my comment again. I didn't miss it. If two speakers agree on a new word and its meaning to the point it becomes adopted by a wider population of speakers, guess what, it becomes a standard word. By how you're describing it, dictionaries are the progenitors of language. You have that backwards. Dictionaries are records of the language and what words are being used.
The only languages that do not behave this way are dead languages.
Anyone who thought Trump was a competent businessman had not been actually paying attention.
