The way Shannon talks about 6g putting you down makes it sound like we're going to have to take a day off from work or school to recover from the sub.

If it provides lasting results I'll gladly take a week off

It`s a prototype, so wa can assume that this "side effect" will be eliminated for final versions.

I also saw posts from him saying the same kind of thing about how exhausting 5G was. The EXACT kind of thing lol. That it made him pass out for a huge amount of time, it's super powerful etc. Also ones from 5G and 4G saying he's probably never going to find something more powerful than them lol. Progress is a beautiful thing, guys! It's amazing to see the progression over time.

The difference being that 5G knocked me out for a couple of hours over the course of the first few trials. This is knocking me down for huge swaths of time, every time. Big difference.

I really hope he doesn't put some limiter or whatever on it, making it silent for a portion of the track. If it's so powerful and that exhausting, the people who go against the rules will do it once, then realise it's stupid and stop. I don't like the idea of listening to my sub and being as diligent as I am, only to be inadvertently listening to silence the whole time. Not cool. Let us ration our listening time ourselves, we're all adults.

What you're not understanding is that if I put silences in it - say I use a ratio of 2 minutes audio to 1 minute silence, for argument's sake - the reason is that I have determined that doing so significantly enhances the effectiveness of the program by allowing your mind/brain time to process and catch up, as well as to some degree to rest a bit. The problem with that is that the valuable ratio changes from prototype to prototype based on balance of script. Whatever I do, it will be because that is the best way forward to get the value you paid for. By the way, the 6G prototype in 1:0 (no silence) is not significantly more draining than the one in 2:1; it's just that the implementation is different in getting it going. Once the program is in your head and running, it becomes self sustaining to a degree, and continues to execute itself - which is part of why it is so exhausting.

To compare 5G and 6G, 6G numbers subject to change of course, but as it stands:

5G: 80-120 words per second
6G: 416.67 words per second

That's a pretty dramatic difference. And that's without any exclusive 6G tech that comes along, or any further improvements in the words per second figure. 6G should be pretty amazing.

The number you quote for 6G is of course out of date; the latest prototype is certainly significantly higher. I haven't calculated it exactly recently, but it is more than 416 wps now.
