I know! Isn't it exasperating? So how much more exasperating would it be if, say 1-3% of the population becomes telepathic, while the rest does not? Please describe how this leads to a positive outcome, according to your understanding of the process.
I am looking for some very practical, everyday situations, like going to work and you are telepathic, but your boss is not. Or perhaps you are the telepathic boss, and you can now perceive the hidden thoughts of your employees. What happens if a person high up in the CIA becomes telepathic? Do they tell the rest of the agency? What about a wife/husband pair- one is telepathic, the other is not. How about a teenage daughter who becomes telepathic, but both of her parents are not? Or make up some examples of your own- I am just trying to throw out some ideas here.
It just seems to be that it would be incredibly disabling for everybody to have a population where a small minority have access to "superhuman" powers, while the vast majority does not. I feel like a broken record, having stated something to this effect several times and nobody has really responded. But I think it is an important point which ties directly into the heart of the matter.
