The Death of Deep Thought

We are solving problems faster than ever before.

And something inside us is getting weaker.

There used to be space between confusion and clarity. Space where thoughts stretched, reorganized, deepened. That space created insight. It created originality. It created depth.

Now it disappears almost instantly.

You hit uncertainty and resolve it in seconds. You don’t sit with unfinished thoughts. You don’t carry them. You don’t let them build internal pressure.

AI has removed friction from thinking.

And friction was doing more work than we realized.
