That sounds like pseudoscience to me.
On the other hand, there have been rather dramatic advances in brain / computer interfaces and using machine learning to interpret electrical signals from the human brain. The good news there is that every brain is different, the machines need to learn each brain individually (a model trained to pull dream images out of my brain will pull just gibberish out of yours).
So far, the researchers would need your close cooperation in order to train a machine to understand even a little bit of what's going on in your mind. This tech is nowhere near being used for interrogation.
Did you believe MK-Ultra and Stargate projects have already developed technology related to this stuff?
Honestly, only if this is a roleplay community. We're getting into the realms of crackpots and conspiracy theories here.
MK-Ultra and Stargate projects isn't conspiracy theory, both projects have been declassified some time ago and they were real projects.
Yes, but nothing real came of them. The US government has a long and well recorded history of spending money on pseudoscience, even well after it's been debunked, as long as there are True Believers in the chain of command.
And the conspiracy theory community has a long and even more dramatic history of taking those mole hills and turning them into mountains (especially if grifters can sell books and / or T-shirts and / or weird copper sculptures that are supposed to "protect" you from it).
Look, I grew up with parents (and a wide community) who believed in psychic shit, crystal healing, telepathy, getting messages from the Akoshic record, what evs. It's NOT real and also believing it is NOT harmless. You're gonna find PLENTY of misinformation about what people "believe" but if you look into any of it, you're going to discover that somewhere along the line someone channeled something or someone like David Icke or Garahm Hancock or Rudolph Steiner or Drunvalo Melchizedek or Raël is involved, or someone is selling tickets to their lecture or psychic seminar.
I must admit this stuff it's a big business for some people out there..
this.
Yes, they were programs that were carried out.
No, they did not prove telepathy, mind control or anything of the sort.
I guess if something real came out of all that, the general public would be the last to know.
You can think that, but understand that it is a theory that the government is conspiring to keep knowledge tech the public.
Look, I can't and won't try to change your mind, seems like you have already decided it's happened. But you should understand that their is no evidence to believe in telepathy. That doesn't mean impossible, but if you choose to believe it is possible AND invented in the early 90s that is entirely a you choice. Much like choosing to believe in god.
So sure, believe whatever. Just know that without evidence it will be difficult to get serious people to take you serious.
