(there are other projects aswell but I can't find the link anymore)
What are your general thoughts of this and should we use it to check civilians to bust terrorist, child molesters and other people who commit felonies (maybe even entire drug cartells)? Or is it too much of a privacy invasion?

If it was 100% full proof then of course we should use it to see if someone is guilty of a crime. It'd be the ultimate lie detector test.
But you see the issue is..our government is kind of..full of pieces of utter shit. They'd use and abuse this kind of technology. Just imagine what these horrible groups like the CIA would do with it?

That would be the worst form of invasion of privacy. I could understand using it as a possible deterrent of terrorism and for urgent national security issues, but not as a way to obtain confessions of criminal acts perpetrated by our citizens not linked to terror networks. This type of technology would go well beyond the current parameters of the Patriot Act and into a territory that would jeopardize our Constitutional rights. It is probably better to limit this technology to scientific research instead of allowing any government agency to exploit and abuse it.
Have you considered that if they can create technology to read your mind that one day it might evolve into technology capable of actually controlling your mind?
I'd rather them not develop technology that is just waiting to become part of a super villains origin story.

I'd embrace that, too. To me it's a matter of morality and ethics on how technology in general is used, no matter what it is. Technological and scientific progress cannot be stopped, therefor it's up to us to make sure the inevitable advancements are not misused.

The problem is if we look at our governments track record it would be naive of us to assume they wouldn't misuse it.
Almost sounds like wire tapping. It was made legal during WW2 because..nazi's and shit, but after the war as time went on people in the government abused the ability.
Also remember we specifically engineered assassination guns lol. If we're willing to do that then it worries me what we'd do with this type of stuff.

Hey, I don't disagree with that. In the end, if we can't prevent them from misusing new tech, then we sure as hell can't prevent them from developing it. We, as citizens, seriously need to step our game up.

At this point it's too late. Those who have been in power in this country for the last century or so..do not want to loosen their grasp.
Obviously I am not talking about immortal beings that have been alive for a century, I'm just talking about a bunch of like minded government officials that rose up in the ranks over the years. They were greedy and loved power, and they passed that down to the next generation, and the next, etc.
It's too late, our greed made it that way. It's the same with illegal immigrants. It's too late: our greed has made them necessary to our economy, we f*cked ourselves over for some cheap labor. Greed is our undoing.
When you actually think about it..it's a pretty depressing thought. Things need to change, many things, but they won't really change.

It's a kind of what I call 'synthetic evil' that we've created for ourselves. Not out of malevolence, but simply out of greed, selfishness, and apathy. It's not too late, I don't think it ever is, but we seriously need to get our shit together.

I think it's become too much of a well oiled machine.

There is a series called "Unsealed: Conspiracy Files" that has an episode about mind control. It is on Netflix. Hmm..perhaps I'll give it a look. It's only 18 minutes long.
EDIT: Okay so I'm like 4 minutes in and already they have said the guy who killed Bobby Kennedy was being mind controlled.
