Main Disc. Thread - The NEW Emperor (Now Available! Q Core Available!)

Product Discussion

While I certainly did see those things as counterproductive in the moment, extensive testing showed that they actually make me more productive. What’s the point of having such a great and ambitious mindset if it makes you less happy and productive than you could’ve been?

I was never about balance, I just found myself to be much more productive when I had no guilt during entertainment which actually works as a positive reinforcement towards productivity - which is what happened with me on Stark Black. On Emperor, I’d be productive and then try to enjoy the results of my work only to find that I can’t get any fulfillment out of those anymore and that serves as a negative reinforcement for work (I work → I try to enjoy the results → I feel bad instead → Work starts to feel bad and not fulfilling). While tieing the results of my work with enjoyment from sex/status/resources might seem superficial, that’s the only working way that I’ve found as of today.

  1. Clear any distractions (youtube shorts, porn, etc) - achieved with Emperor
  2. Build a solid routine in which I crave and enjoy good habits - achieved only with Stark Black
  3. Build a profitable trading bot - didn’t achieve with Emperor or Stark Black yet
  4. Cultivate “alpha” qualities (mental strength, confidence, discipline, courage, ambitions, etc.) - Emperor set a fantastic foundation
  5. Clear my debts through work on any kind of business/investment - still in the process, didn’t really have much of a progress with Emperor

Would be nice to see how how Hero compares to new Emperor

Honestly, it sounds like you were transitioning through the mindset of Emperor and tapped out.

On Emperor, the process itself is the reward. Again, this is high-value mindset. The internal fire, the hunger, the satisfaction of pushing your limits, and watching yourself evolve in real-time. That’s where the productivity comes from. Ambition is pure dopamine itself. You’re looking to validate the work - Emperor wants you to get high off of your own discipline. That’s what makes you a monster. I would bet that Emperor was trying to elevate your motivational structure into something more self-sustaining. Again, Emperor is all about sovereignty and cultivating the strongest inner frame possible. That means not relying on outside forces, validation, or circumstances to dictate your success. It’s about building a mindset that allows for complete ownership of everything in your life, from your thoughts and emotions to your career, relationships, and long-term vision. That includes your fulfillment. Some people don’t need external rewards to stay motivated, they just stack wins for the thrill of it. The action itself is the positive reinforcement. There is incredible reward in building, learning, overcoming obstacles, and progressing towards goals… and Emperor kicks your enjoyment of that process into the highest gear imaginable because you understand that everything you’re doing is leading you to your highest potential. This means you’re always fulfilled in a self-sustaining feedback loop.

TLDR: I think Emperor was trying to shift your focus from external validation to internal fulfillment and self-sustaining motivation. You feeling less happy and productive was reconciliation meant to be worked through via introspection to evolve your mindset. This is all my opinion though. If Stark Black is your sweet spot, then I hope you enjoy your results with that, lol. Thanks for the discussion, cheers.

That’s some food for thought, it’s quite possible that I’d have worked through it eventually had I continued to listen. Thank you for the discussion as well!

Great, interesting reflections guys, :muscle:

I’m not you, but from my perspective and if I would imagine being in your shoes just for fun and be creative:

It’s recon.

It’s also an opportunity to reflect, were the activities really fun? Can work be fun or is it serious and boring? Am I truly relaxing and having fun or coping?

I personally went through and still going through the process of understanding and defining my relationship with gaming. It’s mostly coping. But I want to figure out if there was any pure joy too.

There’s two sides to each coin.

Hey, that sounds exactly like competitive Overwatch gaming I had with friends! :grin:

The things you listed are not inherently good, inherently high ROI. They could be good, they could be bad. Best believe Emperor + ZP + subconscious don’t f around. Your bs will be revealed.

Anyway, personal development is personal. Recon is not easy. We all just do our best

I wanted to share something.

It’s not only about adding more fuel to the fire within you, it’s also about removing the Co2.

I’ve run many different subs till now, and LD - Limit Destroyer just kept me going forward.

I feel in my case, it’s not the fuel, it’s the limits I create as a habit.

When those limits go away, everything just flows.

I’m writing this in the Emperor topic simply because LD helped me unleash the emperor in me.

It can help you too :slight_smile:

Also, my advice after making 5 customs - stick to the major titles until you’re sure about customs.

For me, customs work well, recon is not an issue - but the fuel it gives is much to handle.

Running an Emperor custom, it’s great. I’ve stacked it with LD.

You have a good point here
I’ve run LD with Limitless at some point and I felt it took away my limits in actually becoming smarter it was something hard to describe and it was a strong feeling.

The old versions of Emperor have a Limit Destroyer module.

I could estimate that still is the case. I wonder is stacking with some old titles in ZP version would produce a better outcome without overloading us?

What sport specifically?

#1227

Judo 5char

#1228

Maybe the resilience aspect can help but that’s such a narrow use case that I’m not sure if it would make a significant difference in your training. Think about it this way.

I don’t know if these two used subs.

teddy

clarisse

I don’t know if this guy did either.
kobe

What I do know, though, is that Clarisse and Teddy are maniacal about their craft and extremely meticulous about their training. Kobe was like that too. So maybe maniacal meticulousness about your judo training is what you need. Can Emperor give you that? Maybe. Especially if you try to consciously guide it. However I think Emperor: The Executive will give you that level of maniacal meticulousness more efficiently than the regular Emperor.

Emperor khan stacked? Why cant I find any post on that. Is it really one or the other cuz the effects are different. anyone with experience?

#1230

It’s reccomended against due to them both being massive titles and likely giving you diminished results.

It would be better advised, to choose one or the other and then stack with a lighter title.

For example, most people run Emperor for the productivity, resilience, or wealth, and stacking Khan with something like Genesis mogul, or Executive, could address those more specifically.

Yeah, I’ve been stacking them for about two weeks. Still trying to figure out Emperor—haven’t seen many noticeable results from it. On this cycle, Khan has had more of an impact, and in a previous one, Stark delivered better results too.

I also experimented with running just Emperor and DRR2 on their own, but still didn’t notice much change. I’ve used a few loops of Emperor in the past as well, and even then, there wasn’t much of a shift I could pinpoint. Maybe it’s working behind the scenes or it’s just reconciliation, hard to say.

#1233

I’ve ran it for four cycles. Didn’t notice any results. Only a couple of months later, I realized a huge resilience in me. I stayed calm in a challenge that literally freaked me out a year ago, when I was simply thinking about the possibility.

Khan is a strange one for me. No recon. A bit of anger on TB, but nothing major. On stage 2 now, there’s not much to notice.
Looking forward to stage 3.

Thank God someone else feels like me!! lol
This really resonates.

Now I’m sitting with the big question:
Should I switch to a subliminal that I feel is working right now, or should I keep running one that hasn’t shown clear signs yet — trusting that the shift is happening beneath the surface?

Does feeling nothing mean it’s not working?
Or does it mean the work is just happening deeper, beyond the reach of immediate awareness?

Do we trust the process even when it’s quiet?

And when does it make sense to pivot versus persevere?

Would love to hear how others navigated this… especially those who felt like nothing was happening — until they suddenly realized everything had changed.

The shift is continuously happening beneath the surface, if you’re not seeing immediate results I’d keep listening, me I would, because it’s apparently clearing things, and prepping you for the objectives listed in a way that fits you, not seeing results to me is an indication I need to keep going… but ultimately results are happening one just may not see what they are looking for.

Very difficult to answer in any one given moment. Journaling is the way. More and more lately, I’ve been going back over previous journal posts and getting a sense of how I’m actually doing compared to other times.

I’d have fallen off the wagon long ago with my dietary changes if I didn’t have the chart showing my actual progress. As an example of what I mean.
