The World Economic Forum (WEF) is very interested in monitoring our thoughts. “Imagine a world of total transparency, where every thought you think is visible to everyone else,” they eagerly state. At Davos this year, Duke University Professor Nita Farahany
Control freaks are eternally in pursuit of a perfect, unquestionable truth. They believe in the existence of One Neat Trick that will fix everything. In other words, they're fundamentalists. They mouth Enlightenment pieties without understanding any of them. For them, science is reduced to a rhetorical bludgeon and a marketing phrase; not a process requiring humility.
The good news is that this "mind reading" tech does not work. At all. You can read about lab experiments where they can (almost, maybe) determine whether someone is thinking about a blue box or a red box, but it quickly becomes evident that the measured outcomes are less accurate than coin flipping. The crude nature of these experiments is in stark contrast to the claims of Farahany and others of her ilk we have been hearing for years. Your piece on scientism is highly relevant.
The mind cannot be "read" but the psychopathic rulers would like us to think mind-reading is just around the corner. They attract all sorts of funding from oligarchs, consistently promising near-certain results if only they can get more money. Minds can be "controlled" in the sense that pain can be inflicted for "wrong" decisions. And brains can be damaged and people reduced to blathering nitwits, and in that sense they can also be controlled. But good luck "reading" the mind of a brain-fried human guinea pig.
They want people to get brain implants not to reveal the innermost secrets of the mind but to enable these monsters to inflict pain and control you. They will never read your mind but they can destroy it.
If I was trying to gaslight folks I would tell them I could read their minds. Definitely, whether I could or not. Wait, actually, if I COULD read their minds, I would not tell them. Get my drift?
And here we go again. Didn't any of these idiots ever read sci-fi stories where someone goes mad because they can hear everything other people are thinking? I DON'T WANT TO KNOW what goes on in people's heads unless it's something they want to share. If you want to know the crap that fills most people's minds just go on social media and then have a good purge.
The desire to control has no end apparently. How much more obvious can they get? Phuck em. Say no and live your life.

Reading "Watch Me as I 'Follow the Science'," I'm reminded of some other all-stars:
Dr. Mengele
Dr. Henry Cotton
B.F. Skinner
Dr. John Money
Japan's Unit 731
Thanks for the nightmares, guys.
