Consequences of Overuse?

[Shannon]

Thanks Shannon.  

You stated: "Overusing AM6 will produce vastly different results in the short term than overusing UMS, for example."

This statement really piqued curiosity in me.  What would you expect to be the overuse symptoms of AM6 vs UMS? And why the vast difference?  I don't have a clue, and I'm hoping to learn something from this.

AM6 was released in 2012.  UMS was released this month.  There's a lot of development and growth that has happened between the two, so UMS is many, many times as powerful and effective as AM6 is.

As a result, it takes nearly a week of 24/7 listening to AM6 to achieve the level of exhaustion that UMS can achieve in 2-3 loops for some people.

Overuse usually results in exhaustion, but depending on what is in the script can also result in headaches, muscle aches, digestive issues, difficulty focusing, irritability and other symptoms.  In the case of AM6, irritability is an expected effect because it is designed to push you past the fears that have held you in place and allowed others to walk on you.  That irritability is aimed at motivating you to set and maintain boundaries.  But with UMS, irritability is - if it happens - a symptom of subconscious anger at being pushed to heal too quickly, or being given too much pressure to act.

Most people won't get irritability They'll get exhaustion and difficulty focusing, first, and possibly headaches and/or muscle aches.

Super Interesting.  Yeah, I'm not experiencing any irritability right now; feeling less irritable if anything.  I just notice being more exhausted than usual.  Today, I'm not feeling like playing it, at least not right now, and I think I will probably take the day off from UMS.

Reading your comment about how these subs exponentially grew in strength over the years is exciting.  It made me think about just how strong these subs will/could get in the future.  Happy to jump on board when the tech is already advanced, but I really wonder what they will be like in 10 years and beyond!  Probably will be stronger than anyone could imagine right now.

I have been working on the advancement of the subs since 2012 just to take us from 5G (which is AM6 level) to 6G (which we haven't yet achieved).  6G is intended to be the furthest we can push it for at least a decade, and we are close to finished developing 6G.  So you're looking at another year or less, maybe, before 6G is finished.  At that point I'm planning on stopping development and building out the whole library in 6G, and then taking a break to travel and have some kidlings.

UMS is not full 6G but we have the majority of it finished.  We just have to understand how to use this new level of power.

Oh I undestand.  So its actually a slow and long process to make these advancements.  To move one step up from 5G to 6G took about 8 years or so.  And when that comes out that will probably be the strongest for a long while.  Well, I'm definitely excited for 6G like everyone else!

It's the 80/20 rule.  The first 80% of development was very rapid and easy.  The last 20% is very low and difficult.  Since 6G is aimed at being the furthest we will be able to push it given what is possible right now, we are probably pushing into the last tenths of a percent on that 99%+ part at this point.  The further you go, the harder it becomes to advance, and the more difficult, expensive and slow it is.  So the last 20% has taken me 8 years so far and we aren't done yet.
