    It’s concerning how this pseudoscience is getting so much traction, and we’ll be left with a bunch of nonsensical privacy regulation. Granted I’m happy to err towards too much privacy regulation, but can imagine other privacy issues getting less traction.

      It isnt pseudoscience, theres some papers out there on locked in syndrome and they have a system that is very good at reading thoughts with something like 75-85% accuracy. Requires very sophisticated and large equipment to use though, and it has to be trained on each person individually (through things like yes/no answers with blinks or focusing on saying one word, so its not some sort of thing that can just be automatically done, it requires a great deal of consent and concentration on part of the staff and the patient). Its very possible this could be downsized and made more available in the decades to come, its still in the early phases.

      Maybe this isn’t pseudoscience anymore… I must admit I need to see these stuff working in person to believe it but according to the video this is definetly interesting at least or it could open a new era in human civilization.
