Mankind Has Entered the "Brain Reading Era"(2)
3. Secrets that were strictly guarded in the context of the Cold War era
A secret had to be kept. First, it had to be kept secret. Second, it had to be misled. Only then would the secret be kept longer. This was how the secret of the " brain reading technology " was kept.
In the public, there were various newspapers and magazines that covered up the " brain reading technology " and deliberately concealed and misled it. The two common misdirections were:
1. To communicate with the brain, a computer chip needs to be implanted into the brain. For example, in the August 2005 issue of Popular Science, the most promising research of the global bioengineering laboratory,"Telepathy Technology Time: 11 - 15 years ": researchers at Brown University are designing brain implant devices that allow us to communicate with machines. The microchip implanted in the cerebral hemisphere just below the skull could obtain nerve signals and transmit them to the computer. The computer then sent instructions to electronic devices, including computers, slightly, and electric wheelchairs. In fact, this was a deliberate misdirection. It would lead the research into a complicated path and lead to the abandonment of the research.
For example, recently, brain and chips had become one of the most frequently appearing keywords in foreign scientific magazines. The first was the October issue of the magazine, which used an eight-page cover story to describe how scientists tried to control memory, perception, and emotions by inserting chips into the brain. If this report was more focused on combing the existing results rather than predicting the future, then in mid-October, the online edition of Nature published a piece of news similar to the plot in science fiction. After a quadriplegic patient was implanted with a chip in his brain, he could successfully use his mind to manipulate computers and television. The most sensational was the report in Wired magazine on October 22. According to Theodore W.Berger, the director of the Center for Nervous Engineering at the University of Southern California, Wired made a bold prediction: If nothing goes wrong, artificial " seahorses "-an important part of the lower part of the brain responsible for learning and memory-will be available within 15 years. On some news websites, this prediction was misinterpreted as saying that within 15 years, artificial brains might be as commonplace as artificial breasts.
The truth of the matter was simple and fast. To communicate with the brain, one only needed to send a radio wave that resonated with the brain's electric field to the brain and load the signal that one wanted to send onto it. The human brain would receive it, know what one wanted to say, see the image that one sent, and hear the sound that one wanted to say. It was just like the process of receiving and transmitting signals from an ordinary cell phone. The process of the brain's " wireless communication " did not require the installation of a chip.
2. To communicate with the brain, you need to detect it at a close distance or install a tracker on your body. This was also a misdirection. They were afraid that if the truth was known to the public one day, it would not cause panic. The truth was that every brain was unique, and the electromagnetic field of the brain was also unique. With a high-power, high-sensitivity scanner, your brain's thoughts, memories, and impressions could be displayed on the computer screen from hundreds of kilometers away. Therefore, everyone would be scanned without any cover.
The governments of various countries (referring to the governments of the countries that had mastered the technology) who were collectively speechless were vague about the plans and progress of brain science and brain technology research. The language was obscure, and they simply wanted to hold back and not reveal this technology to the world. The reasons for their motives were as follows: 1. Using this technology to win a complete victory in intelligence warfare and spying warfare. If the brain could be scanned, the spies would be like sheep entering the tiger's mouth when they arrived at the country where they were working. However, this was the cleverness of the matter. In order to cover up the existence of this technology, most of the countries with the technology pretended to be deaf and dumb, pretending not to know. In any case, who was sent, what they wanted, and what secrets were in their heads were all clear. Even interrogation was unnecessary. I think in another 20 or 30 years, when this secret is made public, the ancient profession of agents and spies may disappear. 2. The "Cold War" mentality is at work. He thought of the famous quote of British Prime Minister Winston during World War II: The truth was sometimes so precious that it was necessary to cover it up with lies. It was not difficult to understand the appearance of contradictory evidence. One side wanted to reveal the secret, while the other wanted to hide it. Because you can't just argue and the secret will be known to everyone. In order to cover up the truth of the "super secret code", Winston, who had pulled up the Iron Curtain in the East and West, did not hesitate to let a city suffer the bombing of the German Air Force for nothing. With such a mindset, it was not difficult to understand the "collective speechless governments". 3. The dangerous thoughts of those who have gained a lot. He didn't want to reveal this secret because of his selfish and narrow-minded considerations. If he told you, he wouldn't be able to frame you, control you, and even share this technology with you. When a person in power had to choose between telling or not telling, when selfish thoughts prevailed, he would choose to remain silent. Some countries could handle the balance between keeping the secret and inheriting it well, while some countries would even go to war for it.
4. Exploring Your Inner World
Have you ever watched the American movie " 100% Women "? It's a story about a man who accidentally gained the ability to detect the inner world of a woman and thus had a good life. Using the " Mind Reading Technique ", one could easily know the true purpose of the person speaking across from them.
For example, when you were pursuing a girl, you might say,"I will love you forever," but all you could think about was,"I'm just playing with you." If the girl had a " brain reader," the result would be obvious.
It could also be used for personnel selection, personnel assessment, and so on. For example, it could measure one's thinking pattern, loyalty, emotions, and so on. It could also conduct a lie detector.
Brain reading technology should be the terminator of lies. Even if you knew about the existence of this technology and trained yourself to tell a lie as if it was true, the subtle specific reaction in your heart would still be detected by the " brain reader." It could still be determined through long-term tests or other testing methods that you were lying.
I advise everyone to stop telling lies after reading this chapter. If there were, they would only tell 'kind lies' or 'white lies'. This way, when the technology is made public, you won't have any psychological burden.
6. Personal privacy and privacy that no longer exists, unless the " Brain Thought Protection Device " is invented.
With the "brain reading technology", this world was actually a world without secrets. For people with the "brain reading technology", they could find anything they wanted. Because everything you hear, see, think, and feel will be displayed on other people's computer screens, including your "two-person world" will be sold out by your own eyes and ears (which is why I remind you to turn off the lights). Just like in the American movie The Truman Show (starred by Kelly King), you are putting on a "true man show."
To them, the world was like a piece of white paper. As for ordinary people, they could only be cautious. Your personal privacy and secrets would become the content of these people's jokes. They would talk about it after dinner." There's no smoke without fire." Gossip meant that there was truth. You don't have to be surprised by this. Heaven knows how the things that you and I know have been spread by the people outside. It's just that this is a world without secrets.
Even the ideas of inventions and new ideas in science and technology would be summarized and reported to the organization for implementation. Ordinary people could only hope for the day when the " brain reading technology " would be made public. At that time, people in the future could apply for patents for their first ideas in the world. Because by searching the global brain, this idea was indeed thought of by you first. You can apply for a " creative " patent.
It was conceivable that some authorities would use the " brain reading technology " to conduct 24-hour wireless remote monitoring of key figures, key figures, and the general public on the grounds of cracking down on crime and public safety. They would automatically filter and compare dangerous words. The targeted person was then monitored by a special person. However, this was just a high-sounding banner. In fact, crime had not decreased, but the control of thoughts and speech had become stricter. High technology was a double-edged sword. It could bring benefits to mankind, but it could also bring disaster to the world, just like atomic energy.
Just like how all online video chat users are monitored in order to combat the "naked chat" in the Internet chat on the Internet (according to b.faloo.com), it is a serious violation of personal rights to violate everyone in the name of safety and treat every ordinary person as a potential danger factor. It is ridiculous.
This was similar to the extreme security measures adopted by some countries after terrorist attacks. In fact, it brought a huge threat to the civilization and democracy of human society. Just like how a " state of emergency " cannot be made normal, we cannot live in a society where we can enter and leave without authorization. Ordinary people are the masters of this society. It was necessary to strike an appropriate balance between security, privacy, public rights, and private rights, especially in the reality of high-tech development. Only in this way would the so-called safety be meaningful and public power be accepted by individuals.
You would ask, since this is a world without privacy and secrets, why haven't crimes been investigated and corrupt people been dealt with? In the newspaper, you might see the words " according to special sources of information " or " through high-tech means " in the process of introducing the case. This meant that " brain reading technology " was only used in special situations and not on a large scale.
What was more special was the corruption of officials. Under such circumstances, why were there always corrupt officials who could not be arrested every year? And it seemed like he was catching more and more, and he couldn't catch them all. Because most people did not know or believe that this was a world without secrets, they were already deeply mired in corruption and hope. Other than the reason for keeping the " brain reading technology " confidential, there was another reason for not catching them all at once. It was very complicated, so I won't say much about it. However, he still had to advise the officials to be clean and honest, so as not to give others a handle and be passive everywhere.
