This will be forced upon people in some circumstances…
Quickly, he’s flatlining, better get the truth out before…
They won’t need polys for Top Secret clearance anymore. They’ll just force you to get one of these and BAM.
That only makes it easier for us to identify them.
“You have the right to remain silent, because everything you think can be used against you in a trial…”
I firmly believe, given enough time and technology, and barring we don’t destroy our own selves like dumb asses of the highest order that mankind is…I think we can achieve just about anything we can possibly think of. Which is a beautiful picture if we weren’t so short sighted.
I have a brain injury from impact. Tho I am not a paraplegic or in a wheelchair, I have suffered some mental/neural maladies. I am pretty mobile, I read a ton of content off the internet. So, I function with some defficiencies. Imagine for those far worse off than I, like a paraplegic with significant brain/spinal damage. I always think ‘I wonder if they have any kind of inner monologue?’
In a general sense, we loose very few of our memories over our lifetime. Yes there are caveats but, a majority still exist, our retrieval system lags. I realize it’s a lot more complicated than this simplistic explaination. If we could somehow tap into that lost archived data bank, that would open up a lot litany of issues. Solving crime comes to mind.
Thoughtcrime issues? You have thoughts about harming someone, you get punished for it even if you don’t take action?
I suppose the upshot is it could be used to detect and diagnose mental illnesses?
Furthermore, going into the future, it could ostensibly be used to control parts of the body that are damaged or otherwise not working, or emulate their function. For example, someone with damaged vocal cords could use it to speak through connected speakers. Someone who is paralysed could use it to walk with a mechanical exoskeleton.
The problem with something like that is, it would have to be privacy focused. Samsung, one of the most popular smartphone makers, updated their Health app a year or two ago to where you had to agree to allow them to sell or give away your medical information if you want to continue to use Samsung Health. And that’s a Korean company. Apple Health is still private, but Apple is an American company, so the question is begged, “but for how long?”.
So, the question is, are the powers that be/fascists in charge going to use it to weed out LGBTQ+ and put them in concentration camps, or what?
Minority Report becomes a documentary?
