In numeric terms, with rigorous execution and deliberate practice, to what degree can one increase one's effective cognition? Effective Cognition = Thinking well + Learning fast + Acting decisively. What is the absolute plateau?

Grok:

Effective Cognition (EC) = Thinking well (depth, clarity, creativity in reasoning) + Learning fast (acquisition, retention, transfer of knowledge) + Acting decisively (speed, accuracy, commitment under uncertainty).

"Verdict: From average (50), rigorous execution + deliberate practice yields +32.5 points → EC ≈ 82.5. Absolute human plateau ≈ 88; 82.5 is 93% of theoretical max with non-invasive means."[2]


ChatGPT:

"With rigorous execution and deliberate practice, you can approximately increase your effective cognition by 50–70% over the baseline of an average educated adult — potentially reaching the level of top-tier thinkers or polymathic performers."
