Not who you're asking but I do think that there's something interesting going on with human beings and organizational structures, such that agriculture is a type of Pandoras box that leads to increasing complexity of organization so long as the process isn't stopped (that is, that humans don't go extinct prematurely). I think the same applies to fire and energy; once fire is harnessed, if we go on indefinitely the desire to capture and use more energy leads to advancement over time and better energy utilization. I think that this process is tied in some way to cognition and computation as it occurs in the universe, I know it might sound hokey or whatever but I really do think something interesting is going on that we don't grasp because it's too big for our heads.
