On a lark, I Googled the scientist's name, Peter Turchin, and "psychohistory"[0]; was not disappointed:

Mathematicians Predict the Future With Data From the Past (2013) https://www.wired.com/2013/04/cliodynamics-peter-turchin/

Yep - that was exactly my response when a friend sent me this link, it sounds just like Psychohistory

Even with thousands of contestants, someone ends up being the Rock, Paper, Scissors champion.

Hey maybe he should apply these great powers to the stock market.
