Bailey asked with curiosity: "Can you know the future?"
"No, sir. However, by studying the mind, I can say that there are laws that govern human behavior, just as the Three Laws of Robotics govern the behavior of robots. Human laws are more complex than the laws of Robotics, and I have no idea how they can be organized. They may have a statistical nature so as not to be formulated in vain, except in cases related to overpopulation. They may be loosely binding so as not to have any significance unless these enormous populations ignore the function of these laws."
"Tell me, Giskard, does Dr. Fastolfe mean this when he refers to the future science of psychohistory?"
"Indeed, sir. I gently submitted the idea to him to start processing it. Now that the existence of the space planets, as a civilization of robots that lived for a long time, is coming to an end, a new wave of human development, with a short lifespan - without the robots - will begin."
