5.1. A note on your ideas feeling less original than they actually are

Your own ideas mostly seem trivial to you because you have the right concept structures in place to support them. You wouldn’t come up with these ideas otherwise. So it’s easier to notice your own ideas in a dialogue: your friend has different concept structures and notices them.

Corollary: don’t be afraid to say obvious things.

Corollary 2: it is ok if it seems to you that you do not have nontrivial ideas of your own. It is just hard to notice them.
