Never related to anything more than when I got fired from a job because I was oblivious to my social behavior. I did the job just fine but apparently I was being combative.
It was supposed to be my career, I was told You could really have dealt with that for more than a few months and well I loved doing it. The pay was just enough, I was living better, and everything was better. For me the price of a little bit of sanity was equal to what I was gaining from it.
If you're a little socially inept, please keep getting better. Be confident, focus, work on every little bit of your life.
You're brain is different, maybe you can't sense as much There's a push and a pull, I sense just as much just not from all of the same outputs. It's nothing telepathic ofcourse but as much as I'm told that I look sad or mad people look sarcastic or frustrated. When I focus I can sense the social web, one after the other, pros and cons. We all are on the same wave band length but some people have easier access to one frequency than the other.

To me this is the best short I have seen from Dust. It may be the best short i have seen in years. What makes it even better is that the message doesn't need a full length movie to get the point across. I would recommend this to everyone.
I already have value. Our society values that which you do; that which you contribute. No one who CAN contribute should be forbidden, even passively, from doing so. But our innate value comes from being human. And our very best trait as humans is measured in how well we value the humanity in others equally. This trait is revealed in how we acknowledge and accommodate those who cannot contribute or are limited in that ability.
Having a disability, regardless of its source or severity should NEVER be assessed as lessening our value a s a person. Having a disability is not abnormal. A good portion of people will experience some disability in their lifetime.

I would capitulate for as long as I could get in a position of taking out the hub of whatever big brother monitoring agency that existed if it meant blowing myself up I would do it for mankind to be able to find their heart again and when all we could do to survive would be relying on each other telepathic or not. when the agents of big brother have no power all that remains is the power of love and respect for our fellow beings who walk in the light knowing that because they exist they have worth. unknown author

Excellent, most excellent. It struck me enough to provoke a visceral fight reaction: when the slumming stringie was reading the guitar guy's mind I was thinking ohhhh, I'd give that douchebag a skullfsckin' he'd never forget. Top-notch writing, world-building, dialog, and great performances by the two leads. The bit where she holds and comforts her after helping the other authorities take her daughter away was wonderful Ratched-level sociopathic vileness. Well-done Mr. Cairns and everyone else on the project.

This shit hit me in so many different ways:
As a lower class/low income individual with no degree = she posesses no useful purpose in society.
As an artist, who's art is often undervalued/underappreciated = SHE is only valued, as a lab rat.
And as a single mother of a daughter = she wants to hide the truth of their father from them.
And the callusness of our society/gov't in helping us = these soulless Telepaths basically leaving everyone to die

Sorry for my English.
So much work wasted for picturing such an impossible scenario. Biologically (we can't discover a telepathy in foreseeable future, technically (in not so foreseeable future we will be able to easily modify human body to add such opportunity to it) and socially (there are more care about even the smaller minorities in the world.

Not being able to speak your mind. A nightmare all on it's own. Perfectly done Sad reality for this poor soul.
Personally talk therapy has been an important part of my life. I had and have caring and loving therapist. It's painful to see how this woman is told she's not worth speaking to. I could see myself in her. Amazingly realistic.

I see today's society in this. I see the hatred propagated by the media and government. Those who believe they are caring and helping. Some believe the lies others dig deep to find the truth. History will be written exposing what happened. No one ever asks Joe the questionhow long have you had Alzheimer's. He would answer honestly.

This one was a hard one to watch. Because despite the premise being of telepaths and non telepaths, I'm sure a lot of people from different walks of life feel like they are in a similar situation as that nontelepath woman. The ruling class just up and deciding that you, your life, your identity, does not matter.

I was expecting her to develop some telekinetic powers due to the lab tests and start blowing telepathic people's brains out. no, I haven't missed the social and humanistic issues of this short. It is just this pandemic. wanna see some action from the side of the victims.

Good short film. But just remember.
Its all fun and games being a telepath until The non-telepath Daken is born, and anyone who attempts to read him finds themselves turned into his puppet. Then lets see how long this termination of verbal program services lasts.

Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

It is about today's reality. Segregation of some people who don't want to take the mark of the Beast, reaping out their rights, leaving them with no means to live, work, etc. And it is for common good. We are in the end times, indeed.

Although this was 3 years ago I have just watched it today in sep 2021. I as an unvaccinated can see exactly the same thing unfolding now as more and more social freedoms are taken away. I'm just waiting for the big yellow star!

One of science fiction's roles is to use an imagined future to reflect issues in our world today. This film does that brilliantly. It's sad, even painful, and if it doesn't make you think, then I'm afraid there's no hope for you.

That anger can spill out in outright rebellion. What happens if the non telepaths were to organize. Shut out the Telepaths who are ignoring them. Develop an internet for themselves. I hope this gets developed further.

This is just a video, but I'm feeling it.
No job, it's very hard to connect with people, every day trying more with the hassle and more similar stuff with video.
I'm just a programmer and it's not fair.

Provoking thought, but I doubt we will ever fall into a society like that. In this current world we try to communicate with the blind and the deaf, not treating them like less than human

The filmmaker obviously knew what they were doing because this short movie gave me a stomach ache. Interesting how just the mood of a movie can be influenced by the music.

Reminds me a LOT of being neurodivergent. As a person who is somewhat telepathic. I can relate to the whole broadcasting thing when someone's emotions are strong and focused.

Telepathy will be real within 20 years or so. It will be neural implants that link everyone and those without will be like the nons portrayed here.
