Mind-reading machines are coming — how can we keep them in check?
Devices that can record and change brain activity will create privacy issues that challenge existing human-rights legislation, say researchers.
..."But commercial devices are of more pressing concern to ethicists. Companies from start-ups to tech giants are developing wearable devices for widespread use that include headsets, earbuds and wristbands that record different forms of neural activity — and will give manufacturers access to that information."
"The privacy of this data is a key issue. Rafael Yuste, a neuroscientist at Columbia University in New York City, told the meeting that an unpublished analysis by the Neurorights Foundation, which he co-founded, found that 18 companies offering consumer neurotechnologies have terms and conditions that require users to give the company ownership of their brain data. All but one of those firms reserve the right to share that data with third parties. “I would describe this as predatory,” Yuste says. “It reflects the lack of regulation.”"

I'm personally of the opinion that the globe is actually being warmed by people, and the ice really is melting, but all the solutions to the problem are stupid or ineffective, especially if this part of the world continues to just do whatever they want.
You or me throwing our metal cans in the recycling isn't going to accomplish anything, it's just a way to get people fighting with each other instead of fighting together, against those in power.
I’ve been saying similar things for many years. Stealing more of our (USA) tax dollars in the name of climate change all while letting china, India, and Russia do whatever they want is a **** joke. The earth does go through cycles and we are overdo for the norm, but all at the same time wanting me to believe giving up my stove will make a difference while you’re fat ass gets in a private jet along with a few thousand others to discuss how my stolen money will be distributed amongst the fat cats is going to “solve” this problem is laughable.

This forum has taught me a couple of things. First, that there are some superbly intelligent people in the world. Second, they are vastly out-numbered.
Herky Jerky dance moves are here to stay. It's been about half a century now and they still keep pushing the limits of anti-gracefulness. You can call it by other names but herky jerky is my term for it, and according to the dictionary, I think I nailed it. (Merriam-Webster The meaning of HERKY-JERKY is characterized by sudden, irregular, or unpredictable movement or style.) Yep, nailed it. This video seems like they tried to choreograph a seizure. https://youtube.com/IpEkMN0BXQ8?si=16NIkFqd6lI0C8V7
If any of you groan button advocates wish to groan at my post above, hit the agree button on this post. I'll know your intent and you'll only need to push one button you lazy ****s.

I hit the agree button but there was no groan. Grace is dying off. Beauty goes with it.
A water bearer in India had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole, which he carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack in it, while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.
At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years, this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of water to his house.
Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments, perfect for which it was made. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its imperfection, and miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do. After 2 years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream. "I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologize to you. I have been able to deliver only half my load because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house. Because of my flaws, you have to do all of this work, and you don't get full value from your efforts," the pot said.
The bearer said to the pot, "Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side? That's because I have always known about your flaw, and I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you've watered them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house."
Moral: Each of us has our own unique flaws. We're all cracked pots, but it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding. You've just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in them. Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape. Remember to appreciate all the different people in your life!
Thank you all my crackpot friends from your crackpot friend!!!!!

This forum has taught me a couple of things. First, that there are some superbly intelligent people in the world. Second, they are vastly out-numbered.
Something I wish would pop into my mind more often;
I know enough to know when I don't know enough and not form too strong an opinion
My agree is not that you don’t know enough, but that it pertains to me as well.
