Stand with Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan -- with democracy and civilization against tyranny and barbarism

Reading the mind by scanning the brain
I am very doubtful that this technique can really do what is claimed for it -- and notice that the researchers themselves claim only 70% accuracy, not nearly good enough for use in, say, criminal trials. But eventually, if not now, we will be able to do this -- with enormous implications, both good and bad.
Individualist, pro-technology, pro-democracy, anti-religion. I speak only for myself and not for any ideology, movement, or party. It has been my great good fortune to live my whole life free of "spirituality" of any kind. I believe that evidence and reason are the keys to understanding reality; that technology rather than ideology or politics has been the great liberator of humanity; and that in the long run, human intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe.
