Pictures from your Brain

Now, is this a good thing?

Scientists in Japan claim to have a technology that will display on a computer monitor what you are thinking about.

Yeah. Um, guys?

Thought police?

Thought guilt?

Yikes.

But hey, they say, we're scientists, we tinker - damn the implications. Potential harm, that's for, um, someone else to figure out. We have someone doing that, don't we? Potential harm analysis?

We don't?

It must be nice to be untroubled by moral dilemmas. The rest of us have to think about the consequences of our actions.

Thanks, scientist guy, for providing the next Hitler, or the antichrist, or whatever, a peek inside our brains. I'm sure they'll appreciate it, and reward you with a quick death.

Am I a cynic? No, I like lots of things. This is bad.
