Many don't know this but the collapse of the Bronze Age is what led humans to developing test-time compute, also known as an internal monologue.
When civilization collapsed, writing systems disappeared across much of the eastern Mediterranean. Trade networks broke. Specialized bureaucracies vanished. Knowledge could no longer be offloaded to institutions.
Humans increasingly had to simulate, plan, and reason locally rather than rely on civilization as external memory. We replaced external embeddings with internal compute.
The next transition may be the reverse: civilization increasingly becomes our external reasoning engine, while humans specialize in asking better questions.

When you're sad you can either become and emotional eater or an emotional lifter.
The latter is so much better.
