Self-EvolvingTue, Jan 20, 2009 Is the "holiest of holies" going to then be directly subject to authority?
For, if one can get literally inside the mind of a person for seemingly innocuous reasons, what is to stop say the FBI, corporations, or a new age of criminals (e-criminals) from doing this as well to serve out their own harmful agendas...perhaps on more than an individual scale?
Although the following question is a moot point because these technologies will arrive sooner than later, no matter what we think, it must be asked:
Is it really worth giving up and irreparably tainting what is the last and most unequivocally sanctified space, our personal space - Mind Space - to be able to record and watch your dreams for entertainment, or to help some schizophrenics find stability, or to even help solve some serious crimes from time to time?
I don't think so.
But, again, since this is almost definitely going to happen, I predict at first grave "human rights abuses of the mind" will occur for an extended period of time, noticeably undermining social stability. It won't be until power structures and people get it out of their systems, a whole new set of "Mental Laws" is firmly established, and we collectively see the grave error of our ways, that we will become the developed entities who possess an unsurpassed level of understanding of ourselves individually and as a species to bring us into the next grand phase of human evolution....or maybe not.
