Random thought, but why is it that telepaths/telekineticists
are almost always bald (if men), or pictured as being bald? Does such strenuous
brain activity make one's hair fall out or does the image of a big bald head
enchance the idea of their "brain power". I only bring it up because
aliens were mentioned earlier and they are almost always invariably pictured as
being bald, normally entirely hairless as well. Personally, I simply think aliens
have replaced angels and psionics magic in popular mythology because we all
yearn nowadays for a "scientific" explanation of rooted irrational
human ideas, urges, and experiences. Aliens are a lot like angels
mythologically speaking though, their technology makes them practically
transcendent and they are rather "pure" (sexless in appearance).
Conversely, experiences one may have attributed to spirits in former times are
now attempted to be linked with "psi powers". Maybe we should just
stop trying to peak behind the veil of Isis though, and
enjoy the mystery?
