Comment on WEF speaker touts tech that allows your boss to monitor your brain activity

Comments

The contents of the mind should be sacrosanct- the deployment of technologies for reading the mind should go no further than it has except in medicine and research, and only then with explicit informed consent, of course. Honestly if this tech advances and becomes the norm for employers/the government/etc. to use, that's when it's time to drop out of society and become a hermit or something.

I agree with you, but I want to point out, everyone who has access to your search history can "read your mind".

Heisenberg would like a word.

only the parts you choose to

The speaker agrees with you: https://twitter.com/NitaFarahany/status/1616461568509710337

1) I advocate a right to #cognitiveliberty over our brains and mental experiences
