Brain Scanner Can Read People's Intentions

Vainglorious Coward writes "Reality continues to catch up with Nineteen Eighty-Four with the announcement of the development of a brain scanner that can read a person's intentions. 'It's like shining a torch around, looking for writing on a wall,' said the leader of the project, Professor John-Dylan Haynes . Demonstrating his own mastery of doublethink, Haynes continued 'We see the danger that this might become compulsory one day, but we have to be aware that if we prohibit it, we are also denying people who aren't going to commit any crime the possibility of proving their innocence.'"

It seems scarcely credible

[Vainglorious Coward]

It's almost tempting to believe this is simply neuroscientists trolling for DHS dollars - a ruse by those socialised medicine types in Europe to get US military dollars to fund the next generation of MRI technology and practitioners. Fiendish!

You're a troll. These people have their own funding and Germany/Europe has more. The Max Planck Gesellschaft has set up institutes likes this to avoid this kind of problem. Just check the facts before submitting. And Siemens and Philips build quite nice scanners, thank you.

No, your precious DHS dollars are safe. Go and fund your own research now.

> There, you must believe in the Holocaust.

You shitstain.
There is no "belief" in historical fact. (only) Fifty year old historical fact with reams of photographic evidence and pilles of bodies, bones, hair and tooth fillings.
Instead of this kind of thought crime nonsense we're discussing here, I say we take scum like you out and give THEM a little taste of the Holocaust.
Maybe after maggots like you are out of the gene pool, we won't have to worry about criminal "intentions".
Die before your time.

Denying the Holocaust isn't "freedom of speech", it's a hateful lie, and you are a hateful liar.
