The conspiracy, This is old top secret spy technology that’s already existed for years…example, US government Chinese government etc … they drug you and inject a glass bead in your ear.. so small it doesn’t show up on a cat scan…then you are walking around for life with a “Bluetooth” transmitter broadcasting your thoughts to be intercepted….
, If you complain about them using your thoughts against you… then people just call you crazy… perfect for controlling and manipulating people to do things they don’t want or deliver propaganda … inception without all the messy breaking into dreams within dreams… 😉

It’s at least existed in CIA and military ops. You know they testing telepathy and communication between dreams in the 70s. Nothing is new we just didn’t have the power to test these things. AI was actually designed in 1943 and developed in the 50s.
@Earthsylewind
March 8, 2026 at 2:41 pm
Exactly! We don’t need this, this is just more surveillance technology on the public, humans can already do real telepathy it just has to be trained and unlocked but the good methods and technology for faster development is obviously being kept from the public

off top of my head could be used as a lie detector? or chat while gaming? the deaf and other disabled people would find this useful the most i would imagine, military might buy this and bury it, lots of potential and misuse abound

I don’t like this is all, that would be giving them higher access to your thoughts, you can already do real telepathy it just has to be trained, what waves you think this technology to tapping into?

I could see this being used in interrogations. Minus the waterboarding.
Or, military operations where silence is a must.
Or, my wife grilling me about my night out with the guys.
Or, my wife grilling me about recent credit card purchases.
Or, my wife grilling me about the missing vacation funds.
Or, my wife grilling me about the calls she gets from men claiming to be casino security.
Or, my wife grilling me about something called OnlyFans and why is our highest cost in the last 6 months.
