Why this word is great
PSYCHOKINESIS — [Noun] The purported movement or deformation of physical objects, or influence upon physical systems, by the mind alone. From the combining form psycho- (from Greek psykhē, meaning "mind, soul") + -kinesis (from Greek kinēsis, meaning "movement, motion"). Unlike telekinesis, which implies action at a distance, or extrasensory perception, a passive reception, psychokinesis is the will's active, impositive claim upon matter. It is the static-charged focus willing a spoon to curl, the desperate stare trying to nudge a roulette ball, or the palpable pressure willing a die to fall on six—the ultimate, lonely assertion of a consciousness chafing against the unyielding real, a testament to the mind's fantasy of touching the world without extending a hand.
