Mind Reading

Is mind reading possible? What would the world be like if people could really do mind reading? would the world be safer and more peaceful if people could do mind reading? Or would the world be even more violent and unpredictable if people could do mind reading? these are all good questions when it comes to mind reading. Mind reading has been thought by many to be the ultimate weapon. Many governments in the 20th century spent many millions of dollars trying to develop and harness mind reading among other psychic talents. Just think of the advantage you would have over your enemy if you could read his mind. And, of course, once you could read a person's mind, could you learn how to influence it and ultimately control it? mind reading is too awesome a power, so let's just hope no government ever does succeed in developing and harnessing mind reading.

Maybe people already do some rudimentary form of mind reading all the time. Maybe people's mind reading capabilities can be augmented and enhanced, but it would be dangerous thing if the secrets of mind reading fell into the wrong hands and since probably any hands would be the wrong ones, I hope no one ever figures out how to do real total mind reading. But partial mind reading seems okay.. And as I stated, I think people do some partial mind reading already. Maybe their mind reading is limited to knowing what someone is about to say. Or their mind reading picks up your general attitude about things or maybe their mind reading tells them whether you agree with them or not. Knowing all these things can be explained a lot of different ways, but that doesn't preclude the fact that some of it could be mind reading.

Maybe a lot of our intuition about people is actually mind reading. But people don't even understand their own thoughts most of the time, so how can we be expected to understand the thoughts of other people, even if we can do a little mind reading and find out what they are thinking. People do not think in full sentences. Ideas fly around the mind. Mind reading might just be like tuning in a thousand radio stations simultaneously. Mind reading could be just a confusing mess. And what about the pictures. some people think a lot of their thoughts in pictures. If you do any successful mind reading, how are you going to decipher all those images.

Mind reading might end up being like looking at a thousand complex works of art simultaneously. Mind reading, even if someone could consistently do it, might only yield clues to a person's thoughts and not anything really understandable anyway.
