Friends of Victor Torvich discussion

I found nonfiction history books with only two different Big Ideas about humankind's (world) history.

The list is here - https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/2...

A short summary of "Directionality of Humankind's Development. History" by Victor Torvich

Object: history of humankind (Homo Sapiens) as a single entity.
Type of history: deep-level (subsurface) history [not a traditional history of events] – history of resources created by humankind for itself.
Timeframe: the last 44 thousand years.
Goal: to find a quantitative direction in which humankind is moving. The direction was derived from 318 data points.
The viewpoint of history: a precise science viewpoint.
Idea: In the previous 44 thousand years, humankind, as a global entity, has been headed toward increasing the arsenal of resources created by humankind for itself.
(Conditional) Paradigm shift: (1) from traditional history of events to the deep-level history of resources created by humankind for itself; (2) from a descriptional approach to a precise science approach to the world history of humankind.
Relation to previous books: "Directionality of Humankind's Development. History" is a greatly extended and updated work compare to a previous book "Subsurface History of Humanity: Direction of History."

A short summary of "The Laws of History" by Graeme Snooks

Object: history of humankind as a single entity.
Type of history: a traditional history of events.
Timeframe: Per Snooks – The laws "are universally applicable to all times and all places."
Goal: to find laws of history of humankind.
The viewpoint of history: a descriptional viewpoint [not a precise science viewpoint].
Idea: laws of history exist and can be derived from more generic model. "Primary laws of history have been derived from the general dynamic-strategy model developed in the Dynamic Society" book. There 22 laws in the book, 8 primary laws, 7 secondary laws, and 7 tertiary laws. Secondary and tertiary laws were derived from primary laws.
(Conditional) Paradigm shift: from a view that there are no universal laws governing humankind’s history to a view that such laws (1) exist; and (2) that those laws can be formulated starting from more generic dynamic-strategy model of all life on Earth.
Relation to previous books of the same author: This book is the last in the author's trilogy: "The Dynamic Society: The Sources of Global Change," "The Ephemeral Civilization: Exploding the Myth of Social Evolution," and "The Laws of History."
