Telekinesis Here I Come!

For centuries people have been trying to control items not attached to them (aka limbs) with their minds. I mean, after reading Matilda, who hasn't stared intently at an object trying to get it to move an inch just to prove that their brain was all powerful? ... ok that might just be me then ...

ANYWAY, in looking into the whole telekinesis (also known as psychokinesis, TK, or PK) thing I learned that in the 1980s "PK Parties" were a cultural fad!

"groups of people were guided through rituals and chants to awaken metal-bending powers. They were encouraged to shout at the items of cutlery they had brought and to jump and scream to create an atmosphere of pandemonium (or what scientific investigators called heightened suggestibility). Critics were excluded and participants were told to avoid looking at their hands. Thousands of people attended these emotionally charged parties, and many became convinced that they had bent silverware by paranormal means." (Wikipedia only the most reliable source EVER)

Well, now technology may be able to help those wackos (this wacko included) achieve their dreams, as scientists are doing research into making computers controllable by thoughts alone! In a recent article published by PhysOrg.com, I learned that scientists are working to get the thoughts of moving a cursor on a screen to actually cause that cursor to move! Furthermore, they found that the more people worked to do it, the more that area of the brain worked out and the stronger the signals it was sending got! Does this mean that we have the potential to actually be able to move stuff with our brains?

Supposedly TK (as all the cool kids are calling it) has been observed, and the military has been looking into it for years so who knows, it may be a valid thing. In fact! THOUGHT:

Is the fact that we are not getting immediate results and thus become discouraged and give up when trying to move physical objects all that is holding us back? If we keep trying, will the signals from our brains eventually become strong enough to slam doors in the faces of people we don't like?! Not that I've considered doing that to anyone...

Anyway, chew on that for a while. And that's right, Scotty. I'm writing again. WHERE IS YOUR POST!?
