Anyway, the secret to novelty is to intersect with as many subjects as possible. Intersectionality is a powerful tool for generating novelty.

Here's an attempt at illustration. Most minds exist at the intersection of just a few subjects, like this:



Your mind though exists at the intersection of many subjects, like this:


Imagine a dot at the center of all of those circles, with each circle being a subject.

You can also expand this to 3 dimensions, where the circles become cylinders. And as you move up the cylinder and add more cylinders, that represents 1) intersecting with more subjects and 2) deepening your knowledge of each subject, making the intersection more powerful.

Because you can start making connections between subjects that others have not thought of.

It's only recently that as a species we've become able to operate this way. AOC, Greta Thunberg, to a lesser extent Elon Musk, etc, are people who intersect with many subjects and deepen their knowledge with every passing day.

Your mind is like that, MedeaLysistrata.
