People always love taking shortcuts; it's a common trait.

In the past two years, long-form articles have become a trend on X, and Xiaohongshu has followed suit, with screens full of accounts "teaching you to improve cognition." Promises like "Transform your life within 24 hours," "Master financial freedom secrets in 60 minutes"—all kinds of exaggerated claims are emerging endlessly.

Thinking about it carefully, isn't this routine just like the domestic English training classes?

"Crack IELTS in a week," "English in 3 hours," "Master TOEFL skills in 7 days"... Different tracks, same rhetoric. It's just changing "quickly improve grades" to "quickly enhance cognition," and "enrollment discounts" to "community membership."

The core logic is the same: promise miracles, harvest anxiety. The more exaggerated, the more eye-catching; the more absolute, the more it can harvest the leeks. The question is, are these "quick fix" methods really reliable?
