psiben

Psiben is a term that has gained some traction in certain online communities, particularly those focused on speculative fiction, science fiction, and discussions of psychic abilities or parapsychology. It is generally understood to refer to an individual who possesses or is believed to possess psionic abilities. These abilities are often depicted as mental powers that can influence the physical world or other minds, such as telekinesis, telepathy, precognition, or psychometry.

The concept of psiben draws heavily from established tropes in science fiction literature and media, where characters with such powers are common. The term itself appears to be a portmanteau of "psi" (often used as a prefix for psychic phenomena, derived from the Greek letter psi) and "being" or "person." While the existence of psionic abilities is not scientifically validated, the idea of psibens persists as a fictional construct and a subject of imaginative exploration. Discussions involving psibens can range from analyzing fictional portrayals to hypothetical scenarios about their societal impact, should such abilities ever manifest in reality. The term is not a recognized scientific or psychological classification.
