Psionic Social Sciences

The study of how groups of people pursuing psionic development interact, form communities, and establish social norms around abilities that are, at best, unproven. It examines the hierarchy of psionic forums (newbies ask questions, intermediates give confident answers, experts just post cryptic emojis), the phenomenon of "psionic dueling" (two people pretending to fight with mind energy while standing perfectly still), and the complex etiquette of "psionic shielding" (everyone claims to have impenetrable mental defenses, yet everyone also claims to feel everyone else's energy).

Example: "A psionic social sciences study observed an online community where members regularly reported 'psionic attacks' from rival groups. The researchers noted that these attacks always coincided with disagreements about forum rules, suggesting that psionic warfare was indistinguishable from regular internet drama, just with more talk about 'energetic boundaries.'"
