Going Public


This is just a hypothetic post. I was wondering what you think would happen if someone had gotten their abilities/guts up enough to go public with it, how do you think the public would react?

There's different levels of public. You've got your basic public which really means anyone near you that you see on a day to day basis (that doesn't know your secret), the next level which is relatively close to how word spreads in a school, and then theres the mass public, which is everyone.

Now, for one thing, you'd never get the chance to go public to the masses, not at first anyway. You'd have to perform your abilities in public, right in the streets. Like, walk out of school, run, jump, and fly away. Or something equally noticible. Otherwise hardly anyone will believe what they see, and dismiss it as a momentary quirk. It has to be potent enough to shatter their realities, because we, as a species, for the most part, live very isolated for most of our lives. We see everyone else on the streets but there's no connection. We go about our buisiness day to day, impartial and usually judgemental of the person standing next to you doing the same damn thing. Most could never believe something like us can happen unless you slap them in the face with it.

But even then, you can't just go around being pompous about it. Going public requires tact. We can't have the government barging down our doors.

Going public requires a gradual push. Show a few people. Show a few more. Show a street. Show the city. Someone in the city will tell another person and it will spread like wildfire, and then, ONLY then will it be safe for everyone else to know. Knowledge and discovery like this can only be accepted if the adoption of the knowledge is commonplace enough that it doesn't make us look like freaks. We're normal people. We aren't special. We just know more than they do. We feel more than they do. And we use what we know and feel.

Being blatent about it will only get that person unwanted and potentially fatal attention. You have to go public in such a way that you achieve a sort of protection, because the more people that can know about you and accept you, the harder it is to take you out of the picture, to hide you...to kill you? Whatever they do, it gets more and more difficult.

But with that said, once that first person breaches the silence into the public eye, it might very well open up a floodgate for everyone else who has found the knowledge.

I can only hope.

Exactly. People would freak if we went out and immediately tried to show the world. ESPECIALLY if we grouped up. People would fear us so hard. I don't even want to think about that.

well my view. is if we were to get together, and we were powerful enough they wouldnt want to stand against us. maybe they would view us bad but wut if they just let us be and live on with life?

well ya but umm ur makin a mistake rite now should u really define urselves and humans as 2 different types of people? i mean isn it bad if ur already considering urselves different from other people before uve even gone public?

well I'm not actually planning on going public. I said at the begginning of this post that this is only a hypothetical question. And I'm not saying that we are different from humans because ofcourse we are humans too; however, we certainly are distinct and if we were to go public we would be classified differently. Its human nature to give a label

suppose ur rite but i mean hypothetically wouldn it be better 2 go public wen theres alot more people that can do umm a type of kinesis,or has a certain ability, than wen theres not as many? i mean rite now ur only talkin about like maybe 100 people that we no of that would go public and that really wouldn cause a big change unless u did something REALLY REALLY BIG

Ya I know, this is just a question not to take it into litteral terms. Although there are more people than you think that have psychic abilities.

I think we have to much fear I mean expecting the worst is something thats only human but it dosent take just a large group if one person could show just one paranormal thing such as me going out and using Empathic broadcasting to make alot of random people cry that would work not just a big group btu i get what you people are getting at but now isnt the time to go public anyway just think about it.
