It is my personal opinion that every forum in the OEC should have a thread on ethics.
It is also my opinion that someday the OEC will split into factions and have a civil war for power.
So, am I insane? Probably.
Anyways, I am going to start off this thread about ethics with a question. Please feel free to drift from this question, but please stay within the ethics theme. EL QUESTIONE! Is it unethical to drain a tiny bit of energy from some-one who will never know it? It is my humble opinion that it isn't unethical if it does no harm. GO!

It is unethical, but who cares?
I'm more interested in why you think the oec will have a civil war.

O ok I guess I'll go on a little tangent and explain myself about the war. When psionics goes into a more day to day usage, more people will start getting on the OEC. People, as we all know, are stupid. One forum will initiate an attack on another forum with an opposing viewpoint. What started as a bloodfeud will turn into a full scale war as more forums are drawn in. Some will try to remain out, but they will somehow be offended and start their own side. So they will want to vie for power. Their will be factions, of course. Mainly they will be along forum lines, however I think that the older members of the OEC will split and have their own faction, while the newer more rebellious people will have theirs. Out of this war will rise an hierarchy of psions, and quite possibly a governing body. Laws, law enforcement, and militant groups will be established.
I foresee this happening 25 years down the road maybe.

Okay that is improbable. The hierarchy of psions governing body will not happen. Why? Because it's online! Nobody will ever listen to another person online! Laws will not be applied because there will be no consequences because there will be little that enforcers could do.
There may be some big fight like what went down at PsiWorld awhile back but it will not turn out like what you said.

Im sure the civil war / plain war would happen eventualy. But I doubt it'd be to big a deal. Some body ake me up when it happens though , sounds fun.
As for ethics , people would get touchy over set ethics they should follow. Which would probably 'reverse postpone' (as I like calling it) some sort of civil war.
Dont question it , Im psychic who else can say that. ;D ( jk )

Even psions can make mistakes. I'm skilled with precognition, scanning, empathy, telepathy, and a host of other psionic skills, and as anyone will tell you, I still make mistakes. Lots of them.
We can predict what will happen, but we can never be absolutely certain. It's important for us not to get arrogant.

Maybe not arrogant but a little anxious of what might happen. If you predicted an upcoming war that would end human life yet you couldnt do a thing about it you would definitely be anxious. I would be.

Fo sho me too. But maybe, just maybe, there is a small and very angry child sitting in a dark corner in my soul. And maybe, just maybe, that is a very power hungry child. Maybe. Or maybe he just wants cookies. Either way, I win.
