And also to add: Results can show up within hours. The external manifestations and synchronicities I got within my first days on this sub were insane. It’s less about those though. Much of the way these subs work are through causal links. Every manifestation had a reason that they came. A person in a position of power liked me, someone saw some work I’d done in the past, personality traits aligning with the sub’s archetype.
Those are just the external manifestations of results though, the ones that already have a reason to exist. You already did that thing in the past, people already have that impression of you, you have a piece of work that speaks to your value. They’re the immediate expressions that the title can latch onto on first listens. It’s the growth you make after already becoming “Stark Black” in your reality that really determines where you go. How do you respond to growth outside your comfort zone? How willing are you to see reality in a way you never could’ve envisioned before? Are you willing to admit that the way you lived in the past didn’t get you to where you want to go? Are you willing to set aside that ego?
Applied back to productivity, have you developed good study habits before? Are you used to the idea of being smart? What about accepting the discomfort that’ll come with losing “relaxation time” in favor of spending it diving into what you don’t know? That’s deep vulnerability, even if it doesn’t seem like it at first. How are you going to get better at something that you aren’t willing to admit you need to get better at?
The long ramble just to say that yeah, you’ll probably get a short-term boost. But nothing comes easy. If you aren’t willing to become the person that the boost is natural for, it’ll be rough and the recon will continue to nitpick every reason why it doesn’t belong to you. There are probably softer introductions to these concepts you could find, but that’s the reason why this title exists. It’s not soft, it’s not gentle. Its purpose is to turn you into a force of nature, not ease you into the idea of maybe being smarter. Just my perspective from someone who’s used this title while being in school. If you’re willing to grow alongside it (whether that growth be in studying, business, or whatever), then it’ll work well for you.
I digress. From what I have learned, they relegate their extremely basic models to automatically answer the queue of user questions, no matter how complex the question, to cut costs of energy and data center resources, and it doesn’t shine unless they are getting paid a subscription fee.
