Kou

Kou also known as The Taboo of Knowledge by it's victims and the practicioners is an Altered state of consciousness like The Mind Without Mind, but it's distinct in it's permanence, once taught Kou will never be unlearned even by amnesia.

Introduction
Kou is a form of permanent Hypnosis that strikes upon the user an intense and complusory desire for Efficiency while simultaneously tricking them into thinking that they can do whatever outcome they desire as long as it's within the scope of their abilities. While this doesn't sound different then the normal state of a person mind a person who has undergone Kou will never flinch or falter before a task. NEVER will a practicioner of Kou fear a task for it's dificulty.

Overview
Once Kou is performed it will passively force the user to always use their subconscious and consciousness simultaneously to complete a task with the outmost efficiency, reducing energy and time in any field of activity. (This logically applies to using Kou itself, meaning unnecessary thoughts are DOWNRIGHT IMPOSSIBLE. Kou will make itself more efficient so as to not exhaust its users)

Usefulness
As far as a skill goes Kou is an incredible asset to have at the cost of losing one's individuality, use of Kou even when passive robs the user from a lot of freedoms but allows them to become a genius and autodidact.

Kou is always employed in the most passive form possible, so as to allow for some freedom of thought, to regulate Kou requires intense force of will, but since Kou will make mastering one's will more efficient it basically is a self solving problem.

The Taboo of Knowledge
The great problem of Kou is when it's called upon on a forceful manner. Normal practitioners of Kou use it in the most passive form possible for activation of Shin Kou (True Efficiency) is considered a taboo against humanity itself, because Efficiency overrides everything else in the brain and becomes the maxim, morality and ethics all disappear in favor of efficiency.

By process of elimination the brain when performing Shin Kou will go out of their way to most efficiently eliminate distractions, thus activation of the full extent of Kou leads to Genocide. By deeming humans and emotions unnecessary to the full efficient process Shin Kou makes the users literally commit genocide on everyone close by that might even slow down one's action by a macrosecond.

The truly terrifying thing about Shin Kou it's that it's almost unbeatable, by making the collection of information and processing of it more efficient the user can literally interpret fighting styles in instants and counter them with mental imaging.
