Something will show up, and it will be a few months or so, or longer, and it will show up again, but with more force of one kind or another. And of course the question that it raises is what is happening in the meantime between when ideas first show up and when they become popular at least for a short time and the answer is that it is changing the narrative in someone’s brain about how they perceive themselves ...
