One thing that’s helped me is to more proactively cache these internal dialogs, and when they start again to ask myself “do I have any new significant information on this topic compared to last time I spent a few hours on it”? If no, I can skip to the end and use the one-time pass before I’m exhausted.
Also, after enough repetition and variation, I’m pretty convinced that “it all adds up to normal” applies to non-extreme ethical choices as well as it does non-extreme physics.
