There is a remarkably biased and deceptive piece in Foreign Policy with a critique of #Cliodynamics, among other things.

2. The author writes, “Peter Turchin and his collaborators have championed a new approach in which history as a discipline will be replaced by cliodynamics”. This is an outrageous falsehood. The relationship between cliodynamics and history is a mutualistic symbiosis.
3. I stress it every time I have an opportunity, for example, here:

Jika Teori Loop Quantum Gravity benar bahwa waktu itu berhenti di level subatomik, maka yg disebut peristiwa sejarah itu cuma brojolan (emergence). Dan jika teknologi Antarmuka Otak Komputer bisa menghapus memori dgn keputusan sendiri, sejarah akan jd apa?
Saatnya sejarahwan juga perlu mempelajari fenomena perkembangan teknologi yg bisa menghapus memori dr benak banyak orang.
Tanpa memori, apa arti sejarah?
Mungkin komprominya: ilmu sejarah harus menyatu dgn ilmu #KecerdasanBuatan & #SainsData seperti Cliodynamics. Sebuah pendekatan lintas disiplin ilmu sejarah, matematika, statistik, sains kompleksitas & komputer

The first article first-authored by my BSc, MSc (and quickly PhD) student @LDaumantas is out! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
By combining insights from #archeology, #paleobiology, #GIS , #geostatistics and #Machine_learning we revealed the dynamics of ancient human settlement rules 1/n
Extending the classical #cliodynamics approach advocated by @Peter_Turchin we tracked the dynamics of evolving spatial interactions of human settlements with geological/geomorphic factors while testing against spatial null models 2/n
Finally, we found that model significance (difference with null models) increased through time while their performance decreased. We explained this pattern as an increase in determinism of settlements, paired with the increase in complexity and specificity of rules 3/n
