Why your best results come from breaking ‘expert’ rules
What works often lives outside the margins of accepted knowledge.
There’s a strange tension between what the so-called experts preach and what you find out by actually experimenting yourself.
What happens when you challenge the consensus
Take creatine. The consensus says 5g a day. But when I bumped it to 10–15g? Everything changed.
What I expected:
Faster recovery — 5g were not enough to do that (for me)
What I didn’t expect:
Ridiculous sexual stamina
Full control over ejaculation
When I shared this, I got the usual response: “Placebo.” “Pointless.” “Wasting your money.”
They recite their gospel — “muscle saturation maxes at 5g” — while ignoring the mounting evidence of other benefits at higher doses.
Challenge the dogma? You're a heretic.
Why gatekeepers hate what works
This isn’t just about supplements.
Take the Enneagram. It’s a personality framework with far more practical depth than MBTI.
Critics love to parrot their favorite phrase — “lacks academic validity” — yet after years of practical application, its accuracy and usefulness are undeniable.
What they really mean by “academic validity”:
Approved by the right institutions
Packaged in acceptable academic language
Controlled by traditional gatekeepers
The subtext? If it empowers you without them, it must be discredited.
Science has its blind spots
Tools that empower individual growth often face the strongest opposition from those whose authority depends on maintaining dependency.
The crisis of reproducibility in social sciences exposes the limitations of our current validation methods.
Some truths, especially those involving complex human experiences, defy conventional scientific measurement.
Don’t outsource your truth
I trust science — but only the kind that survives scrutiny and real life.
Years of reading junk science has taught me to balance institutional knowledge with personal investigation.
Dismissing thousands of lived experiences for lacking formal validation: pure intellectual cowardice.
True wisdom lies not in blind acceptance of authority, but in maintaining the courage to think independently while remaining open to all sources of knowledge.
