"I was going Socratic. To answer the question, it's not a category I lump together as a gestalt. Everyone here is an individual and deserves to be treated as such. Thus, bespoke interactions with any given individual, dependent on their wants, their personalities, their attitude and demeanour. Everyone here is powered, most related to those who did not use powers for the common good, which requires a degree of caution, modified by each individual's approach."

"Each person is a person. With all the joys and sorrows, loves and hates, lifetime behind and ahead which that implies. There's no generic solution for humanity, nor should there be."

“Whatever your intentions may be, Lamar - at some point I recommend for you applying this method you use to yourself. Look at your own interactions from the outside and put yourself in the shoes of their target. Step back one level and observe Lamar not from your intentions but from their eyes. It is a very difficult step to take, from personal experience - but one well worth the effort, and worth even more if you discover the provenance of the issue yourself. If I completely tell it to you your natural instinct, as with all people, will be to defend it. Can you try this?”

"And back we go to Socrates, 'The unexamined life is not worth living'. Yes, it's fair to say that I can and will try this."

“Very good, Lamar.”

He pauses a moment.

“So, do you have any primary interests for further learning, perhaps opportunities that your mother did not afford you?”

"Tricky on two fronts: One, she was very comprehensive, and two, if I'm ignorant of a given subject, I likely wouldn't know what to ask for. What interests me most is that which I can use, particularly as it pertains to my unique abilities. The focus primarily on my strengths."

“Definitely one theory, one option Lamar. I would like you, however, to consider the possibilities of the greater gain in marginal utility of focusing on your weaknesses. “

"My weaknesses I share with many, my strengths are mine alone. I see where you're coming from and I take your point, but bear in mind back in the testing chamber almost nothing was said of my powers and the vast bulk of what was said to me was concerning the effects of their usage upon me. The overriding impression that was given was that as a key area of focus, being looked upon as a potential source of weakness, time and again, person after person. That's not something that should be left set aside."
