Please explain why you like it. Is it a submissive thing? I cannot relate because (thanks in large part to LW) I see inscrutable, probably a lot more powerful minds as first and foremost a potential threat. If they aren't Omega-level, the best course of action to preserve yourself unharmed seems to be to get out of the way. (And if they are Omega-level, do the same thing you would have done otherwise and hope it's exactly what they intended.) Any attention from one, even seemingly positive, spells a good chance of destruction. All of this just kills the mood for me.
