WHO IS KHAN?
Day 4: The Nature of Khan
Khan ST4 + Limitless + GLM: Co | Last Loop: GLM: Commander
I sense a huge boost in authenticity on ST4 and less of an emotional dependency on others, though Godlike Masculinity: The Commander is actually bringing out my natural leadership styles and behaviors, which tend to be very prosocial and win-win. Limitless is amping up my inner voice massively, which is guiding my decision-making capacity to lighting levels. It’s like having a bro (if he wasn’t a dirtbag) that goes, “WTF are you wearing (nerd)! You’re not scoring anything wearing this. I can’t let you leave the house this way.” With Limitless plugged in there’s a guiding, boosting, and moderating influence along the superconscious and unconscious within my mind. I feel far less fears and apprehensions and when I feel apprehension tugging, it’s as if I can command my mind to boost myself to the mental/energy state I need, or if I am doing something potentially detrimental, the inner voice advises me to pull back, though it’s all my choice. I found I can be provocative
, in a benign way (e.g. pineapple on pizza, or jarring fashion styles, calling people out on their bullshit). Someone called me a torturer/sadist, and I was thinking in my head “yeah so barbaric and brutal of me, but what about this dude… THIS DUDE…”
“As Temüjin built such alliances, he developed into a formidable warrior with a reputation for treating those who dared to oppose him with extreme brutality. He avenged his father’s murder by the Tatars by slaughtering all of the males who were taller than the height of a cart’s axle, and then enslaved the women and children. As a result, the enemy tribe basically ceased to exist.” Sources: Edwards, Bawden; HowStuffWorks

The room is a sophisticated blend of cutting-edge technology, holographic interfaces, and global maps with real-time data streams. Stark, clad in his signature Iron Man suit sans helmet, is hunched over a sleek computer console. He’s coordinating operations with a myriad of teams across the globe. Suddenly, a holographic screen materializes in front of him, displaying none other than Genghis Khan, albeit with a modern twist. Khan is now outfitted with advanced battle armor, reminiscent of his fearsome historical attire but with a futuristic edge.
Stark: [playfully] Jeez dude, eat a Snickers, you’re not you when you’re hungry.
Genghis Khan: [with a sly grin] Stark, I could conquer the world on an empty stomach. But your modern delicacies do intrigue me.
Stark: [laughs] Well, just don’t raid the vending machines.
The banter subsides as Stark’s attention shifts back to his console. He starts researching Genghis Khan’s past deeds, scrolling through a series of historical records.
Stark: [muttering to himself] Let’s see what made you such a legend, Temüjin.
On the screen, details about Khan’s past unfold. Stark reads aloud.
Stark: Temüjin built alliances and developed into a formidable warrior. He had quite the reputation for treating opposition with extreme brutality. [glancing at Khan] Avenging your father’s murder by the Tatars… slaughtering all the males taller than a cart’s axle, and enslaving the women and children. Brutal efficiency, I’ll give you that.
Genghis Khan: [leaning closer to the hologram, his eyes narrowing] It was a different time, Stark. Survival demanded ruthlessness. But those deeds forged a legacy that endures even now.
Stark: [nodding thoughtfully] I get it. You had to be a bit of a… tough guy. But in this day and age, we’ve got to think differently. More brains, less brawn.
Genghis Khan: [with a hint of amusement] And yet here we are, you with your advanced technology and me with my old-world tactics. Perhaps there’s a balance to be struck.
Stark: [smirking] Maybe. But for now, let’s focus on not blowing each other up. We’ve got a world to save.
