Also, there's a bit of "you can't get there from here" problem : maybe you need to start writing familiar, personal stuff, to practice, get into a habit, develop better writing skills, gain confidence, etc - so that when you do have something truly unique, you are ready and capable of putting it down in an engaging and I understandable.
(also, "style" matters. James Mickens does not necessarily say anything "new", but he says it in a way that's entertaining and enables you to see things from a new perspective. I enjoy Terry pratchett and patio11 for their writing style even when they're not sharing extraordinary insights. Not every piece of writing needs to be cutting edge technical research. And practice is important for that).
