I mused on many different possibilities for this assignment of coming up with a new sense. Anti-tachyon clocks, common sense, spirit touch/item reading, etc. However after discussing my task with several others I decided on Foresight. Many people have dreamed of being able to tell the future and foresee what will come to pass, but no one has ever truly demonstrated such ability. I believe that the greatest and most stimulating possibilities that such a power could hold would be when the future is hazy and un-wrought. If a person with such a power was walking along the street and saw a coming soon sign, they might be able to see what the building was going to look like when it complete behind it. This would be an amazing experience, but after awhile just like anything else the novelty would wear off.
I believe the most stimulating feelings that foresight might present would be the hazy future. When something might not come to pass or the possibilities of what might happen. Imagine driving past an empty lot with a for sale sign up that has a bidding war on it between several development companies and seeing all of their projects and ideas waring for dominance as the future in the space.
On on the larger scale, would a coming war lead to great technologically advanced walled cities, or reduce us to a mid evil culture again?
