My own suspicion in these cases is that these techniques don’t work and are unsustainable hacks that temporarily shift the equilibrium of my thought. Or perhaps they do work but the mind adapts to them (like drugs) and so they’ll lose their usefulness. After all, I don’t forget useful things that I commonly use. even when they become implicit knowledge, I can still feel that the implicit skill is there and see its results.
