    Every day my urge to just disconnect from modern society becomes stronger, but alas it is impossible to live outside of it when you have a family.

      Reading someone's mind is just the beginning, that paper was 14 years ago, and they've likely advanced far beyond it. Buried behind private orgs and dark government agencies, the real objective has always been mind control.

      Peter Thiel and his ilk would use it to reprogram anyone who doesn't conform to there thinking. He even bragged about it before being indirectly called the antichrist in his interview with Ross Douthat.

    The real title of the article is : "The scramble for your brain data"

      That's what I see in the article body, but the <title> tag is "Wearable device makers are harvesting brain data to train AI—without telling users" for me. It's not clear to me if the submitter changed the title on submission or if the site's doing some form of A/B testing.

        This is an extremely common practice among publishers. They put a more SEO friendly headline in the <title> and I'd say the "real headline" is always in the <h1>.

    Quit your job, apply at DHL, Flink or as Über-Driver and you will never have problems falling asleep again. Also working as a storeman, commuting by bus and tram will surely guarantee an early bed time. No expensive gyms needed, just go by bike to your office, the entire year. Also, ask your employer if you could help out in production or warehouse. Problem solved.
