Would you prefer a world in which people could read minds?

Arent we already living in a world like that? \nThe psygologists have formulas what every move we make with our faces, mean ;)\n\nhowever, I see your point, and as the scientists are soon able to make machines wich will tell it exactly, it`s only a matter of time when society should have a conversation is it ethical at all.\n\nI think it`s not. We might as well put the computers and robots to deside all the worlds descisions after that, because no-one is as perfect in that game as the computers.\n\nThat is "the dance" we will definately have to miss, for a mankind`s sake...

Not by a long shot! Most seem to think that we are as about as sophisticated as we are going to be, but I don't agree. I believe that there are things that we are (eventually) capable of finding or dreaming up that would just blow our minds to know of now! Just try to think of how someone from a century ago would react to learn of what was to come in the next century...hmmmmmmm...

meeting of minds - a state of cooperation

Being able to speak to animals. Because there are some people who can learn really fast (maybe not that fast, but fast enough..:P) and none that can actually speak with animals. \nIn the end, how much knowledge can a person absorb? Could my brain handle it?? \nIf I could send a fly to hear what other people talk, or learn about secret plans, SPY, know the subjects to all exams.. wouldn't it be so totally cool? :))

I believe that there are people out there who can, but most people now-a-days are fakes just out to get rich. You would probably have to find a tribesman of Africa or Asia to find a real reading.

Enquiring minds want to know.

learning about real life-in theory! bit of an oxymoron me thinks. still awareness only hurts the ignorant, when they bother to think that is. Understanding each other. and do we need that-more than psychopathic religions.....go for it. give 'em heaps -your tutors/lecturers I mean.

Yes. Try the evolutionary point of view. Many psychological and sociological events take a better light, too.

a far as prosessing power they already do...emotions on the other hand are far away. I rather believe the problem between humans and machines will come from self awareness on their part.

Oh yes ,there are lots of humanity,it depends on how to look at.From the same position on earth, u can see the ground ,or u can see the sky,it all depends on u r angle of elevation,i mean how u look at it,choice is urs. in a greater perspective u have to look at what better u can derive from a adverse situation,there lies u r capability to correct the wrong  what u think with open ,unbiased mind &what  is socially,democratically is absolute right at that time.

I do not think the question of better applies.  Consider the matter this way: The human mind in general has been deemed as equivalent organ between the sexes; with respect to its general psychological functions.  However, when incorporating real-world data one can see that maps over-the-span-of-human-time have basically been of the males' world.  Like hunters during the hunting and gathering times, travelers to places afar, explorers charting new lands, and the like, therefore, safe to say males as a group still do yet read more maps than do females.  I've no doubt there exists a female such as she can equally well read and interpret a specific map as can the best male.

to generate the ability o free thinking.  Remember the book of Ray Bradbury FARENHAIT 911 which tells the reality of a comunity that was forbidden of reading books, and the government would control the population by tv. Maybe you can read a breef of that book, i'm sure will be an inspirantion.\nGood luck!

The world can be a better place if we could all just recognize that everyone has more similarities than they do differences. If we could put a face and feelings to the people we tend to hate. If we could try to understand where people are coming from and why they feel the way they do before we judge them. The world would be a better place if we realized that every single person on earth has come to view things exactly as they do as a result of both their past experience and what they have been taught. Rather than persecute them for those views, we could offer them new experiences or teachings on which to base their views of the future.

i don't think so. I think what makes the world an intresting place is our different views. Without variety everything would be boring and stale

Yes, I believe\nIn the power that anything you can visualize is possible and that humans can do whatever the mind's eye can see.

It would be great if there was a Wizard World like in Harry Potter, or even an Never Never Land like in Peter Pan and all the other wonderful "other" worlds like those we read about in books. Would be nice if we could travel back and forth among these places.  However, like in H.P. there would have to be some king of special selection process to decide who got to know about the other world.  Otherwise someone from each one would want to figure out how to take over the other ones just like we in our ordinary world do now.  If we did know about each other I feel the worlds who had magic and miracles would win - these are heart and mind "forces" and those are to my thinking, always more powerful than just plain force. I'd prefer we all go along but know that wouldn't happen, sadly.  Although, the "other worlds" would probably get along fine with each other; just the civilization based on science & technology would be the warmongers, our mind isn't open enough and we expect everything to have an explaination.  We are rather boring when you look at it from that perspective aren't we?
