Three-Body Problem TV Series (By Tencent, CCTV) is going to release its first episode today! (2023/1/15)The Three-Body Problem (Chinese: 三体; lit. 'Three-Body...

There was an article about wargaming and zero sum game theory during the cold war where they asked a bunch of technicians STEMS people to solve the problem nuclear menace. The conclusion of the study is that there is a need of Humanities backgrounds for subjects touching geopolitics and diplomacy
I agree,
