I spend a good chunk of my time thinking about blowing shit up with my mind, obviously. So I was walking down Henry Street the other day, imagining giant fireballs exploding out of all the brownstones and flipping cars over and shit, and thinking that it was all very Matilda, that if I could just get past some kind of mental block it would totally come to pass. THERE IS NO SPOON.
But then I realized that in order to cause telekinetic explosions, I would probably have to use my mind to blow up the boilers or something, right? Or somehow create an electrical charge within the gas main? And that’s where things start to get complicated because I don’t really know anything about physics or even just the basic wiring of a house. But could this be true? Could Roald Dahl and that tranny who made the Matrix be wrong about awesome telekinetic power? Could it require a much finer knowledge of mechanical engineering, as well as a super-developed ability to schematically envision things that are hidden to the naked eye by sheet rock and drywall?
The spoon took the wrong classes in college.
