Q: Every idea I have seems to be too closely related to a similar idea that I have experienced, and nothing from my brain feels very "fresh" anymore. I'm pretty sure this is just how thinking works, but is there a way I can trick myself into freshness? For example, ignoring some of my intuition?
A: the best strategy to approach this is to try to think of something you "should not" do. try to do something wrong. this will put you on the right path
