Planning? It's more like scope, if I can interact instinctibly with computers and learn their information I'm essentially the richest and most dangerous man in the planet by default. Heck, I may as well hold every satellite and atomic reactor in my hand.

No, I was explaining my choice. I didn't say other people were wrong for picking TP.
Erase the trail and you lose the money. They're just meaningless numbers if they don't come from an account (the corporation in this case).
They did come from an account, the corp just no longer has a record of where they sent the funds.

The corp reports missing funds and the bank discovers a supsicious transaction from the corp to your account in the amount of the missing funds.
How are you not grasping this?

Again, if it goes to more than one bank or account the numbers won't match the reported theft, so the bank will have no reason to view it as supsicious.

Just like the thousands of other transactions the bank gets from that corp, so they'll have no reason to be supsicious of mine.
That's going to look mighty suspicious when they find money has just magically vanished. They'll make inquiries and eventually they'll find you.
You really haven't put any thought into this.

If we're talking on a more global scale, telepathy still strikes me as the easier/quicker method. No need to really learn anything. The people you subjugate mentally will control all that for you. You telepathically tell them what effect you want to achieve and your will be done.
It would be boring and you could die because you forgot to tell people to breath or you don't know where the gas pipes are. Remembering heavy amounts of information must be easier than controlling every living being in the planet all the time and also would make you more low profile.
I didn't say you take over every single one of their biological functions. That's why I said "tell them what effect you want to achieve." You're simply pushing them towards your end. They still have the ability to think or act outside of that.
It's like a much larger scale version of "Give me your taco." The taco owner performs the act of giving me the taco himself; I merely told him to do it.
None of these powers are more low profile than telepathy. There's really no way to discover a telepath if he wants anonymity in the real world.
I agree that it would be boring btw, and I doubt I'd want to rule the world. I'm just saying that it would be quicker/easier with telepathy.
Originally posted by Omega VisionIsn't that sort of violating the point of the power? If I could manipulate a rock as well as a person, toaster or space shuttle, I wouldn't consider myself a technopathist. I'd be a 'matter' or 'molecular manipulator'.
If technopathy can work on something like a mechanical toaster then there's no reason it shouldn't work on a human body or hell a rock.
