Ah ok, it’s been a long time since I watched, but a quick google mentioned hot coffee and I stopped there.

I, too, almost took a tangent into the nanny-camera state, but since we were discussing mind control and not telepathy (a closer parallel to cameras spying), I restrained myself. And that was tough for me, too.

No ill will taken and none intended, though I did throw in some snark for fun. It's a fun debate.

Depends on the universe's rules. If it requires the same number of calories to move with your mind as with your hands, you're not really saving anything while letting your muscles atrophy.

OK, let's have an ethics throw-down, because you are wrong. I did make both the slippery slope and ends-vs-means points in my original post.

Let's just go ahead and ignore all the heroic stuff, since that's covered pretty well already. Yardwork? Done. Cleaning? No problem. Locked out of your car/house? …
