If you die and turn into a ghost, what will you do?

Yeah, having telekinesis really cancels out the whole "no direct communication" thing.
Rearrange objects into prime-numbered groups, or letters, thump out Morse code, or....maybe just use a simple keyboard.



Alternately, maybe you'll suffer the equivalent of serious brain damage while turning into a ghost, or have an IQ of 3.
You'll be stuck in an eternal prison of your own damaged mind.

With enough practice you could cause air to vibrate the correct way to simulate a voice.
 
If I were a ghost, I would spend all of my time trying to figure out how I can pass through walls and float in the air, seemingly unaffected by gravity, yet I don't just float off into space as the Earth moves around the sun.
 
I'd see all the places I never got to see on earth then go out into the universe and try to see what other alien civilizations look like.
 
Probably what all other ghosts do assuming they are real - try to figure out how to move on while inadvertently haunting others (maybe calling out for help?). I can't imagine being a ghost would be very fun for long. Existing in such a state would be pointless if your actions had near zero consequences.

At least in lucid dreams you have control over the world around you and can have fun. But physical reality where the most you could do is drop the temperature a few degrees in a room? Pass.

Even if you could do that, it could still be used as a way of encoding information and communicating with someone.

If you got really good at it, you could quickly alter the temperature in a small area and quickly convey information that way.


Or else get a job as an air-conditioning system. I don't know how they'd get paid, or what they'd buy.
I guess a computer, Internet access, and Netflix?


(Which raises yet another question about the physics of ghosts: If they can lower the temperature of a room, what is the mechanism used? Are they serving as a heat pump? Where does the energy go?)

I think you just solved global warming.
 
Let some more air out of Tom Brady's balls

Then after the ref slaps his wrist for trying the same shit again, I will inflate them to 20 psi
