The vast majority of thinkers, writers, and so on only have a limited repertoire of ideas and even phrases that they recycle again and again. Zizek is a good case in point of someone with a schtick. He only has so many takes on any issue.
This isn’t a criticism. Most people struggle to have one thought, let alone a handful. It’s just how it is. The division of labour means you specialise.
