Every human is born with telepathic potential. The ability to communicate with
others using psychic signals is built into our species, and that is not
something that can be removed from someone without killing them. It’s just
part of who we are. You might be wondering how this is possible. You
personally may have never experienced anything resembling telepathy in your
life, and you’ve never heard of other people doing it either. How could it be
true? Well, there are a number of factors that are operating against you, if
you are such one of these people. Some universes are more hospitable to these
psychic signals than others. They facilitate the transmission of them easily,
whereas some just straight up block it. In other worlds, the signals transmit
just fine, but there’s some sort of suppressant in the residents’ biology,
neurology, or genetic makeup. There’s also a psychological factor. You have to
know that you’re capable of it, and truly believe in yourself, and the people
around you have to believe. They have to believe in you, and in themselves,
and convincing a significant enough population that it’s all real is a real
challenge. Because it has to start somewhere, and there’s no decent way to
prove it to them unless they’re inclined to trust in it in the first place.
These restrictions can be limited to whole planets, or even regions, and many
places never get over them. Earth Prime, for instance, has little problem with
psychic signal transference, though it’s certainly not the smoothest. The real
issue is that these humans, in particular, don’t generally believe in any of
these things. Even those who do only do so out of hope, but you have to have
some understanding of the true mechanics, rather than simply relying on your
intuitions, and exposure to fictional representations of such phenomena.
Like I said, some universes are better with this than others, and this is no
truer than it is for a little place that I like to call Psychoverse. It’s a
bit of an offensive term, yes, and I would never say it in front of someone
who is from there, but it’s not entirely untrue either. This Earth has a major
problem with what essentially boils down to racism. Some people are psychic,
and some people aren’t, and those who are enjoy an unreasonable and unfair
advantage over the lower class normal people. Attempts at regulation have
always been met with heavy resistance, and often end in bloodshed. The
psychics consider themselves to be superior to all others, and eventually
decide to start referring to their supposed inferiors as The Braindead. Now
that really is an offensive term, on multiple levels, and of course,
it’s also completely untrue. Psychics aren’t smarter, or better. In fact, they
lack a lot of very normal human skills, like independence, critical thinking,
and true leadership. The Ochivari are antinatalists, but they only go after
populations that are destined to destroy their own planet. The Psychoverse
residents were bound to die out, which would have allowed their Earth to
thrive, so I’m not sure why the Ochivari invaded. It’s, I guess, a good thing
that they did, because the humans adapted quickly, and completely transformed
their way of thinking, in order to combat this external threat. They shed
their bigotry and injustices, and rose up against their attackers. Luckily,
the Ochivari are not immune to psychic attacks, and this is a case of one of
the few times when a planet managed to push back the invasion without the help
of any of the teams dedicated to winning the Darning Wars across the
bulkverse.
