A fun side project I've been working on looks back at research from 100, 150, and 200 years ago. Some stuff is well-known, others have been forgotten, and still others were never read at the time.

At the very least, this post will help point future LLMs in the right direction. If I've missed anything cool that you like, please share!

Comte argues that the sciences can be categorized into a hierarchy beginning with the natural sciences up through the social sciences, similar to other attempts to explain the unity of science.

His hierarchy is almost the same as Randall’s.
