In the psionic community, for some reason people like to invent new terms. The largest offense is adding terms in front of the word "kinesis" to create a new psychokinetic related skill.
Basically: it's retarded. So don't do it.
Below are the ONLY terms that should have "kinesis" in it:
Scientific Terms
Psychokinesis (PK)
Micro-Psychokinesis (Micro-PK)
Macro-Psychokinesis (Macro-PK)
Direct Mental Interaction with Living Systems (DMILS)
Slang Terms
Telekinesis (TK, try to use PK instead)
Pyrokinesis (Pyro-PK)
Cryokinesis (Cryo-PK)
Biokinesis (Bio-PK, try to use DMILS instead)
Anything that isn't on this list is subject to being politely corrected, edited, deleted, laughed at, etc.
If you would like information on how to do something-kinesis, then just don't use the word! Don't use the word. Type out what the word means. For example, "Do you have any information on geokinesis?" = retarded. However: "Do you have any information on moving dirt using psychokinesis" = better. But the BEST version would be to simply understand that moving dirt with PK... STILL FALLS UNDER PK. So just use PK.
Please be aware that these vocabulary restrictions don't mean we think it's impossible to move dirt, or effect electricity. It's certainly possible! We just don't like the terms people use for it, and we don't like people making up random terms and adding "kinesis" to the end, in an attempt to sound "cool".
Thank you.

Yeah, there are way to many types of "kinesis" floating around. By the way, you should probably sticky this.

Wikipedia has a lot of the 'whack' forms of kinesis branding on it. Umbrakinesis, atmokinesis, just to name a few. I just tend to stick to Telekinesis, but I do have a tendancy to slip sometimes and use "electrokinesis". Is Macrokinesis acceptable? I was meaning Macro Psychokinesis but it just came out as Macrokinesis in my post.

Macrokinesis isn't a word, but it's certainly more understandable than the other terms that float around. Just edit your post.

Actually, "electrtokinesis" is called "Remote Electron Tampering."
And I think it is
PK- Pyrokinesis
TK- Telekinesis
CK- Cryokinesis
BioTK- Biological Telekinesis
Although, this is just the names of the applications. PK and CK are really the same thing, and they are all Psychokinesis. Psychokinesis is the broad term for mentally influecing a physical object.
But yes, the best way to say this would be, "using psychokinesis to..." but who wants to write that? The four main ones are above.

Where are you even getting that information from? I googled "Remote Electron Tampering" and it pulled up information on VIDEO GAMES.
Hint: video games are not a good resource for legitimate information.
My original post still holds.

I would of thought (and know i do believe) that "what ever you want to call it kinesis" is just a form of PK.

Indeed they are, the terms ~ Kinesis are slang - with many being taken from various video games.
They are generally looked down upon because they show ignorance.

Basically, all other suffixes of kinesis aren't types of kinesis, they are just are a mis-naming for what you may do with psychokinesis. For example, to talk about making an object cold you need not refer to a term like cryokinesis. Just simply state that you use psychokinesis to make an object cold. Simply put, it clears the air of unnecesary jargon.

I knew that the made-up '-kinesis' names were slang, but I wasn't aware that 'telekinesis' was more of a slang term than 'psychokinesis'. I'll bear it in mind. Thanks for the heads-up.

The word 'pyrokinesis' helps making conversation easier. I understand that it's made up by private persons, but then again, that goes for a lot of other words too, right?
I'll avoid using the word, but I think many people are going to tire quickly of the phrase "heating things with PK".

Hmm, let's see how long this works out for
The people that use these terms are like moths to a flame

I do understand the reason for this list, peebrain, I think it would be good if psipog had an official list of term and their definition, one of the real drags is having to explain abreviations or some things mean..... I used to think electrokinesis was a valid term
