You certainly wouldn't be able to fly, the basic "wish," if your body was hammered by G forces every time you lifted off. Since you need some level of immunity, just applying "gravity" to your body then applying your body to other things would excert that force on them. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] morrowind@lemmy.ml 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) You don't have to fly around at 3G. Just set it to 0 and you're floating. 0.1G and you're gently accelerating upwards. Actually even at 3G you wouldn't be hammered by anything. You're thinking of like cars or whatever that accelerate you and your body's momentum resists. With gravity control, every atom of your body would accelerate.

Telekinesis at will is a very different thing, and it implies at will (with the mind without physical touch). Just my two cents, it confused me - is all. permalink fedilink source parent

[β] blind3rdeye@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago Is that a deliberate conscience telepathic effort, or automatic unconscious reflex? (eg. Perhaps you don't want to accidentally hover or float in public.) permalink fedilink source parent

[β] _stranger_@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 child) ok well moving an object still requires energy, so you're gonna need the increased metabolism perk. We'll have to increase blood flow to the brain, oh and it'll need to be increased in mass a lot...how do you feel about a tall head? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] frog@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago Some how this ended up with erectile dysfunction.. permalink fedilink source parent

[β] Jax@sh.itjust.works 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) You're the second person to use 'telepathic will' in these comments and both times are vague as to what that means. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 child) Telekinesis that I can control at will. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] Jax@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago Ok, so 'telepathic will' more or less means that you're projecting your will into someone's mind. Telekinesis at will is a very different thing, and it implies at will (with the mind without physical touch). Just my two cents, it confused me - is all. permalink fedilink source parent
