Episode notes
Throughout history, societies have faced collapses and crises. The Bronze Age collapse is a prime example, where civilizations crumbled, trade and literacy were lost, and chaos ensued. However, these collapses also create opportunities for experimentation and the birth of new ideas. As complex systems, both societies and human cognition follow a cycle of self-organizing criticality, where they build up, collapse, and rebuild even stronger. Breaking out of old frames and perspectives is essential for growth and innovation. It may be challenging, but it leads to moments of enlightenment and a reorganization of thoughts.
