It's interesting
that when a mainstream paper publishes a story about a demo mind-reading machine, none of the conspiracy theory nutters on here comment.
This makes me suspect even more that they're special agents hired to make paranoia about anything look crazy and ridiculous.

Yes, because you would need to be nut to think a mind reading machine was bad idea
quite obviously, good job there.

This is what I mean
The idea is absolutely terrifying, and it comes from a reputable source, but none of the tinfoil hat crowd have commented. Either they're part of the conspiracy or they think their hats will protect them.

ha, ok
I mean, I always thought it was possible. It's really kind of terrifying how any conversation can be immediately brought to a halt by two word phrases like "conspiracy theory" and "tinfoil hat".
They literally mean "oh, I don't have to think about this, I already know what's going on here."

To be fair
the conspiracy theorists on here do kind of confound any valid point with their bullshit. Like Dekonplexis posting a video of a soldier on leave getting his head kicked in by the police, then making loads of patronising generalisations about all soldiers being brainwashed shells and war being a game. Or The Goat posting loads of links to a guy that believed that aircraft vapour trails were filled with mind control gas.
