That would be my stance on the issue: "Psionics is just metahumanity's
attempt to rationalize the unexplainable; to explain away the things that
go bump in the night (now that they've started to make noise again :)."
But, serriously, do you think anyone with the mental discipline to produce
kinetic energy by force of will would be hanging out in bars, ambushing
shadowrunners for an extra 5000Y on the credstick or to settle a grudge?
If such a thing were possible, I would say that that personage would be
acting as a buddha-type figure. I expect it would be really hard to work
up such abilities and therefore a consuming past time not for the spiteful,
short-sighted and un-enlightened.
The thing is people usually turn to crime and shadowrunning because its
good, quick money when they can't make a living legally.
If I were so in tune with my physiology, sustenence would no longer be an
issue and I think I would be above such things as money and shadowrunning
