I must understand once and for all - the diffarance between the powers of The Mule and the ones of the 2nd Foundationiers.
One was a mutant and the others developed their abilities through centuries, and aside from that and the brutality of The Mule compared to the delicacy of the 2nd Foundation, I find no diffarance.

From what I can deduct, Isaac Asimob created his ideas on the basis of almost pure scientific theoris, and therefor I find the idea of 'trainning' an ability to convert minds and sense minds in the way it is described with the 2nd foundation a frustrating, it doesnt corolate to anything that exsist and he doesnt offer any good explanation to it. It just is.

A queute from Foundation's Edge Page 132:
"Hamish!
Gendibal was startled. He became aware of the distant tendril of mind well before he saw the person."

I have not finished the saga yet, so if I am still going to find out the answer, dont reveal it please.
If you can enlighten me about how the 2nd Foundation gained physchic abilities, please, tell me.

Thank you.
 
The answer will be definitive in Foundation's Edge. But I will say this, that there is no real difference.

I think in Forward the Foundation, it says that Seldon sent a bunch of psychics to the 2nd Foundation, including his...grandaughter? niece? something like that. I guess they just make lots of psychic babies together :p
