Performance Proof
Captain Difficulty, Year 2488

Results:
- 8K total research (4K physics, 2K society, 2K engineering)
- 417K population vs AI at 150-225K
- 1.3M fleet power vs AI at 800K/282K
- Control 1/3 of galaxy without federation

Why This Dominates
Productive unemployment + psionic job efficiency = multiplicative benefits. Your employed pops work better while unemployed pops contribute massively.

Single Planet (11K pops):
- 2,700 civilians: 180 tech + 233 trade
- 1,300 educators: 300 unity
- 200 telepaths: 50 each tech + 131 unity
The combination dominates even federated AI empires in late game.
