Cognance final review - much ado about nothing !

You kind of are saying it is useless for everyone and that they should skip it, though... You didn't say it didn't work for your personal brain chemistry, but others might have an effect. You literally titled the thread "much ado about nothing" in a nod to Shakespeare's play that uses a play on words between "nothing" and "noting," which means gossip or rumors. I took that as a double entendre alluding to your claim that Cognance doesn't do anything, and that it is all hype. By this comment response, I think you did mean it that way, whether consciously or subconsciously. You literally told other people to give it a pass in the post... If you were just relaying your personal experience, then telling people they might react, it would be different. This is not your first post or comment saying Cognance didn't work for you, either. You have had multiple, as have all the other people in this thread saying they didn't react to it. When people see repeated posts about something, they often don't look back at the post history of people to see if they are the same people they saw saying it before. This skews people's perceptions of overall responses.

Not a single thing we sell affects everyone positively. Some people hate tongkat ali. Some people hate lion's mane. Some people hate cistanche. That's just the reality of the world. Those products are massively popular, though. Many people love they effects they get from it. People not getting an effect from something doesn't mean other people are not getting that positive effect. Everyone loves to yell placebo, but most people fundamentally misunderstand what the placebo effect really is, and if it is even a universal effect seen in every situation. Then nobody yells nocebo at the opposite posts. It's all about context and nuance, and it seems the modern world keeps trying to shove everything into black/white, good/bad, works/doesn't work. It's not that simple.

I am not here to try and convince you that you actually had good effects from Cognance. That would be silly. You are the judge of your own personal experience, and I have no doubt you didn't get the effects you were hoping for. I'm not going to tell you you are experiencing nocebo. You are also right, time is going to tell. If people keep coming back to buy it, we will have our answer. We can't rush time. However, I have been doing this for ten years now. I have released hundreds of products, and spoken to tens of thousands of people. I can tell when a product is performing very different than others. Our kava is not a massive hit. Our maca is not a massive hit. Those had hype, too. However, many people did not get the effects they were expecting with them. Some people did, but many others did not. Cognance is very different. I have had more people coming to me raving about the effects they got than any other product we have ever released. This includes the synthetics we sold in the past, which by the way people had negative/no effects to all the time as well. Cognance is no different than anything else out there. Some people won't react to it, and that is okay. I've just seen a very distinct change in Reddit the past year, and it doesn't fit the overall reality of what average people are saying. There is a narrative here that Sabroxy was a failure, and nobody liked it. It's being spread by people selling bromantane, which is another compound many people didn't react to, but I guess that compound isn't subject to human body/brain chemistry variability... If you could see the whole picture, and speak to as many people as I do, saying Sabroxy was a failure is just absolutely stupid. The sad part is that many people are being affected by these things. There was a guy a few days back that said he was waiting for his Cognance to arrive, but didn't even want to try it now "because all the bad posts." Dude literally already bought it, but wasn't even going to try it because of a few random people on Reddit saying they didn't react to it. The whole point of the nootropics community is to do community research and self-experimentation. Relaying one's own experiences is a big part of that, but people have to put things into perspective, and have the nuance needed to understand just how variable people's responses are. When people start just taking things because some other random Reddit comment says they should, and not taking others because another random Reddit comment says they shouldn't, we have lost the entire point of the nootropics movement. If you try something and give it an honest shake, but don't get positive effects, that's fine! However, this trend of everyone only doing what they read others are doing is the exact opposite of what made the nootropics community what it is.
