>Not a judgement, just an observation
Pretty straightforward, so those who interpret differently reflects on them, and them alone.

The one intelligent and sane response. I think you might be onto something there.

Yes, I am. Judicial and conscious use for the good is one thing and is truly wonderful. The problem though is the involuntary influence from outside. The article linked lb was just to alert anons to the two linked concepts: Gates' concept/intention and the US Army War College article acknowledging the ability to influence a target's brain to act in a way that is unnatural and out-of-character (and potentially violent, illegal or resulting in crime or death of the target or someone else, i.e., assassination).
The two concepts are not far off as they concern the root issue - the brain can be manipulated via external means without the individual's consent or even knowledge, which is reprehensible and should be known and understood by more people than do today.
