You wouldn’t expect this to be cyclic. After all the number of people turning (say) 24 and discovering some idea that’s peak salient at 24 is pretty stable. So why 5-10y cycles? Convolutions!

Like if an idea is more relevant to booms than busts, and that cycle is 10 years, then the 24-year-old cohorts that rediscover a boom-salient ideas will be ~10y apart.

I’m not going to call out these ideas since that’s kinda a spoiler thing and who knows they might get somewhere better than the last lot did. But I do wish I had a way to filter it out. I saw 2 cycles and this is really not enjoyable rerun material.
