WTF?
They’ve spotted that children with highish IQ’s are focused, work well, enjoy computers and aren’t the most social or blindly accepting. Then labeled them Indigo, utilized the usual belief of parents that “My Child is amazing/special”. Then to top it all up they’ve tossed in the usual mix of Russian belief in the supernatural/mystical with ESP and added some pseudoscience to try and explain “it”. Failing to realise, that hey actually bright kids have always been born, it’s just traditionally been hard to recognize them in poverty level/peasant families or under regimes that restrict and try to eliminate individual differences.
I say we should be careful about these newcomers. I propose all ‘indigo children’ are registered in a multinational database, so that we may be aware of the powers of such individuals, and can assess what threat they pose to us.

Brehaut: How so? apart from the fact that we seem to have posted at the same time.

KT: I’m gonna say, because you referenced 2001, while Christina jumped to X-Men. Slightly differing levels of geek-pretension ;-).
