Psychic Engineering

The practice of deliberately developing, training, and applying psychic abilities as if they were any other engineering discipline—with protocols, safety standards, and project management. It's the attempt to turn "I sometimes get a feeling about things" into a reliable, repeatable skill set, complete with daily practice routines, progress tracking, and performance reviews. The challenge is that psychic engineering lacks both reliable tools and clear success metrics, so most practitioners end up measuring progress by how they feel, which is like a carpenter measuring success by how much they enjoy hammering.

Example: "He approached psychic engineering like a project manager. He set SMART goals for his telepathy (Specific: read three minds per week, Measurable: confirm with the subjects, Achievable: probably not, Relevant: to his ego, Time-bound: by Friday). By Thursday, he'd achieved only confusion and was considering rebranding as 'intuitive.'"
