You’re the HR director at an interplanetary space station staffed by humans and mind-reading aliens, and must conduct quarterly training for aliens about why humans’ intrusive thoughts are harmless.
“they are NOT harmless! That human’s thought is directly and measurably harming me!”
“okay, you say so, but is the thought you refer to actually an intrusive thought?”
“it is something with a repetitive tune and the words ‘baby shark’ over and over.”
“…okay, fair. You are actually authorized to use lethal force in self- defense against that thought.”
