Get Your Psychic Protection Here

[brokers]

In light of recent events both during and outside of recent Jaunts, I think it's past time to start teaching our fellow Travelers how to defend themselves against telepathic intrusion.

It is entirely possible to guard your thoughts - and your conversations - from unwanted scrutiny using the psychic network that binds us all. It can take some time to develop the necessary familiarity, but if anyone wishes to learn, I am willing to teach them.

Unfortunately, it may not be a perfect defence against intrusions originating outside the network, but so far it has seemed to convey at least some protection in the majority of those cases as well.

...I'm putting up a wall, kind of?

[brokers]

In essence. Or encrypting a channel, if that is a framework you're more comfortable with.

[failgoyle]

Yes, yes, I am so much more comfortable with that.

Explain this like computers, and I've got this!

There are marked similarities. We transmit our thoughts to one another as data, with more complex transmissions requiring more resources.

If you wished to protect an electronic transmission, how would you go about it?

[failgoyle]

Simple answer? Good file encryption, pretty much.

[brokers]

As simple or as complex as you like. It's your mind - the value of personal perception cannot be overstated.

[failgoyle]

So...I just use encryption on my thoughts? Like files?

[brokers]

The ones you wish to protect, yes. View it as developing a psychic tool for the purpose - over time, it will become an automated process you can trigger whenever you feel it is necessary.

Sounds good to me--remembering to turn things on is kind of a pain.
