LSD seems to disproportionately affect the mind's capacity to visualize complex systems and relationships, so even if you aren't being all that novel or insightful in your thinking, the ability to really see what you're pondering in a larger and more detailed way than you've ever experienced can feel like an incredible aha moment, even if you haven't actually figured anything out. The glamor of the vision can be seductive.

Another issue is that it can be very difficult to stay focused long enough to transcribe what you're experiencing mentally in any sort of comprehensible way. Just as you're a few words into your description of a vast and intricate concept, 5 completely new ones come rolling in.

Not that I'm any sort of expert, but the solution seems to be various forms of mental discipline. Meditation and trying to remain a dispassionate observer (versus an impassioned epiphany seeker) can help to slow things down and make the experience less chaotic.
