   Would we want less democratic countries like China or Iran to develop better brain-reading technology than us? Even if it goes against our democratic sensibilities, it's important to understand how the technology works. And I believe it can have plenty of pro-democracy uses, like finding serial killers before they act.

   You should read "The Truth Machine" (I can't remember the author), its a fictional account of society once an inventor invents a 100% foolproof lie detector...its an interesting take on what happens...

   How are you going to prevent them from acting?
   
   Are you willing to make thought illegal? Who will monitor the thought police? How much more taxes will you now pay to make this utopia your invisioning happen?
