Alphas, a new term for an old thing based on a new SF series about people with incredible abilities. At first it might seem even absurd to think psychics, meta's, para-normals, whatever name you choose to use exists, and yet they do. We know there are people who can listen to a piece of music and play it perfectly. Others have picture perfect memory, super tasters, and smellers. Others have higher mental acuity, IQ, or dexterity.
Science has even proven many of the things we thought of as SF are actually true as well, people tend to know when there being observed, and again scientifically proven, we seem to be able to. Predict the future if there's a chance of love involved, see through the wormhole is there a sixth sense, season one for the actual tests.
What if we're just seeing the tip of the iceberg here? What if there is more out there that people are afraid to show or tell about? Take gender choice, coming out is one of the hardest things to do, how much harder would it be to come forward with something like this? People would think you were crazy unless you proved it, then eventually the reality of what they had seen would sink in then fear would most likely follow. How do we treat those who are different? Those were afraid of?
I know if I could do anything like that I'd keep it my closest secret, only telling those I had to, those I lived with who would find out on there own anyway. Better you tell them, openly than find out the hard way. You just have to wonder, the more we learn about ourselves, our mind, our genes, what's next? Talk about a brave new world.
