What a good idea steve, having tests like this on the forum. By interesting curiosity we may have a few Psychics out there that may want to take this challenge.
Unfortunately I will have to guess the object on this poll.
Psychics don't reveal themselves to the general public. In fact, they've cornered all of the science disciplines that could reveal their existence in order to hide it.
The reason is simple- if it was totally obvious how you rose up to power, don't you think the masses would revolt against you? There would be no reason to work if there was never any hope for you to rise up.
Psychics have established enough doubt about their existence that you can speak of it in public, and the majority of non-psychic middle/lower class individuals will never catch on. Telepathy and mind control have been lumped in with
actual pseudoscience and woo in so many non-psychics minds that the average non-psychic intellect will balk at any thought of psychic powers. Mention of it will be met with opposition and ridicule from the "rational" elite.
In other words, even if a psychic did reveal themselves to someone here, nobody would believe it- the extreme skeptics would assume some kind of setup.
But just wait- eventually there will be a great reveal, and by this point in time, the under classes will have generated enough material wealth that they can be killed off, unless they choose to stay on as willing slaves to a psychic overclass.
The psychic overclass will have cornered the majority of the worlds weapons, and positions of power, with no hope of the under class ever usurping their authority, or completely enjoying the fruits of their labor. And truthfully, the deception could lie deeper:
Let's talk about the Fermi Paradox. Why don't we see evidence of life? Why isn't it revealed to us?
All worlds suitable for life are seeded with life via long distance psychic manipulation. It only takes a bit of concentrated activity to seed life in a distant world.
Then life is allowed to evolve, with various psychic manipulations of DNA over time to slowly grow a world that the psychics will enjoy living in (don't worry- tech is going to get greener, because obviously they want to enjoy a healthy world- but the pressure to perform this greening of the earth will be upon
you the non-psychic underclass- you're going to do the heavy lifting).
They jump in and reap the benefits of billions of years of non-psychic labor at the end of the psychically influenced evolutionary process. Non-psychic intelligent beings are the last stage of the terraforming of a planet. Pressure to make the planet pleasant to them is applied on the non-psychic populace. In other words, your desires are what you are supposed to desire, and once you've made the planet pleasant enough for the psychics, guess who swoops in and eats the cake for 10 million years, before the sun makes the planet a little less livable?
So guys- life isn't special. You are on a planned out garden planet. Life is very common, and seeded psychically all over the universe. And you won't ever really get to know about it unless psychics decide they are amused by and entertained by your thoughts and keep you as a pet. :p
I, for one, refuse to do slave labor. I'd rather kill myself than do something that I don't enjoy.
