        I imagine with telekinetics you need to concentrate real hard on not falling.

        With wings you can just (heh) wing it much more safely.

          Hummingbird wings tho, the ones that’d require the most constant effort… Unless reprogramming your brain to do it instinctively, it’d also demand constant concentration. And if you can do that forhummingbird wings, why not witg telekinesis?

          Just wear a glider jumpsuit so you can just ascend up with telekinesis and then glide the rest

        Can I get the telekinetic head-exploding powers of Victoria Neuman from The Boys?

        Also, can I get a list of events where certain politicians will be speaking in front of large public audiences? Asking for a friend.

      Sure, but what if telepathic powers somehow affect your brain chemistry or morphology? Aside, Would flying be like manipulating gravity or lifting yourself up with an “invisible hand”?

      In order to use telepathy, we’ll need to add a new section to your brain. Would you like to shrink the other sections of your brain to make room, or would you like a bigger brain? Oh, you want a bigger brain? Well, now we need to expand your head. Would you prefer an egghead or do you want the whole thing to grow? It will also come at the cost of requiring more energy.

      Is that a deliberate conscience telepathic effort, or automatic unconscious reflex? (eg. Perhaps you don’t want to accidentally hover or float in public.)

      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?

      You’re the second person to use ‘telepathic will’ in these comments and both times are vague as to what that means.
