If you see my point then you should understand why the topic was locked. To teach people not to talk about it, you need to show them to stop it. That is human nature too.

As for the categorizing things: it is just like a square is a rectangle but a rectangle is not a square. "Pyrokinesis" is psychokinesis but psychokinesis is not "pyrokinesis". Mainly, our point of the rule about no (insert name)kinesis is to teach people not to use other kinesis terms and to realize that it is just psychokinesis.

And anyway just saying pyro PK, or dirt PK is alot shorter then the fluff versions.

But it's all PK, saying it's not is untrue, and that is what is being stopped.

Is forumokinesis an acceptable term in talking about moving from a temp forum to a perma forum?

if that was an attempt to be funny, you failed. Take it to the general discussion "Make-Your-Own-Kinesis" thread.

Shoot, you got me. I was hoping it would make Mr. Peebrain smile, but I don't know if that'll happen, he looks pretty angry in his avatar.

But Peebrain...In one or your articles, didn't you state that moving the psi wheel with a tornado-like manipulation of energy would be considered Aerokinesis?

Yes, I do. And that article will eventually be edited, but until then, you are free to call me a hypocrite. It was written a few years ago, when we were less strict on terms. Nonetheless, you're correct.

Oh. Sorry. I don't read the dates on posts too often. I'm not calling you a hypocrite, I just thought you forgot it.

Basically, all other suffixes of kinesis aren't types of kinesis, they are just are a mis-naming for what you may do with psychokinesis.


Do you mean 'prefixes'? Smile

You're free to use that term with your family then, but on PsiPog, we don't allow random -kinesis words.

Personally, I think that the word "psychotelekinesis" is much more descriptive of the phenomenon.

I mean, think about it; "psychokinesis" is literally "mind-movement", which suggests moving your mind about, not moving things with your mind. And "telekinesis" is literally "far-movement", which is far too vague a term, since we can move stuff without touching them and without using psi (magnetic levitation, etc.).

Scientific Terms

Telekinesis (TK, try to use PK instead)
Pyrokinesis (Pyro-PK)
Cryokinesis (Cryo-PK)
Biokinesis (Bio-PK, try to use DMILS instead)



I find the word 'slang terms' for generally used words funny.
Psychokinesis and Telekinesis are both scientifically used terms, both do not mean the same thing, Psychokinesis is a broad category, whereas Telekinesis only has mental interaction(or conjuring, see below) with inanimate objects under itself.
Pyro- and Cryokinesis go to the so-called 'magic'(hah.) category, they are elemental types of telekinesis, if used conjuringly, however they still have their own uses away from the telekinesis category.

Biologists don't have troubles deciding what is and is not acceptable scientific parlance in biology.
Engineers don't have troubles deciding what is and is not acceptable scientific parlance in engineering.
Chemists don't have troubles deciding what is and is not acceptable scientific parlance in chemistry.
What do these share in common? Objective, real *cough* systems that can be analyzed because of it. If this is the same as these, then why don't the truths make themselves evident via experimentation the same way to everyone?
Hm.

Good question. And while you are hinting that psionics is therefore not "real", I think you should think about alternative explainations. There exist other explainations for this situation (that really aren't that far fetched).
