The memetic bucket

One way to improve ideas is to think of sources of information as being in memetic buckets. If your idea inputs come from the same memetic bucket, your outputs will replicate the same concepts in that bucket. Your thoughts won't be new or particularly interesting.

To combat this:

1. Reduce the overlap in idea sources.
2. Go through your social media feeds and see what sources say the same things in different ways.
3. Pick one or two favourites out of them, and ditch the rest.
