I was just thinking how interesting life would be if we could read each other's minds. I mean, we'd no longer be able to lie to each other and we'd be able to virtually eradicate all crime. That said, wouldn't it be far too weird to know someone could read your mind? What would the world be like if we could read each other's minds? |

Kinda reminds me of some of the issues touched on by The Ghost in the Shell anime. It's set the in the not-too-distant future, where nearly everyone has some degree of "cyberization" ranging from cyber brain implants to full robotic body replacements. These enhancements enable all sorts of interesting possibilities, the one relevant to your question being that it gives people the ability to communicate using thought alone. There are also instances of people reading each-others "external memory" in order to very quickly transfer large quantities of information to one another. Might want to check the series out. It's great food-for-thought on the consequences of a constantly-connected world. |

I don't think it would make life easier. You would constanlty have to watch out what you are thinking and people would steal eachothers (brilliant) ideas. It would be very scary in my opinion because people would be affraid to think certain things. But then again, thinking that you must not think about something, makes you think about that thing, so others would know what you are thinking about ,and they would know you don't want them to know. ;) |

I can easily stop thinking. It would be great for me :D. I would love to read a girls mind about she loving me or not. 1
It's harder to stop thinking than you think, because by thinking about not thinking about something, you're actually in essence thinking about it so it doesn't work haha. And yeah, that'd be cool. ;) @daaaveeeee I don't actually think about not think. I just stop thinking, just like that. Please don't think that I'm a zombie. Dude your a zombie! I joke, but yeah that's cool. 1
Actually, I believe him. Funny video about the difference between men's & women's brains & the ability to "think about nothing": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=775EsD9rYNg @ageekmom that's funny lol that is very odd to think about. If you are not thinking how would you know you are not thinking. To know if you are not thinking you have to think.

People would start wearing Aluminum Foil Hats > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tin_foil_hat

I would prefer that no one can read each other's minds, because I really don't want to know what the girl I like really thinks about me, or maybe I do. Let's just leave it alone for now. |

Politicians would definatly have the hardest time with that kind of technology |
In this world I would not want that power because it would drive me crazy reading some of the vacuous minds out there...
Never thought about it from that perspective. Interesting..
Maybe it would prevent people from hurting one another. If we feel someone elses pain we may just quit tearing one another to pieces. Naahh
Dangerous!!! It would take away the surprises of life and give us an insight into more than we need and want to know. Remember when mom said; "Don't say anything if you have nothing nice to say". This would negate that smart behavior and all would be revealed. Not good. Some thoughts should remain thoughts only.
What if you could control the depth of that insight?
