I think the same thing; this seems like the best evidence we have to date that given sufficient technology it should be possible to communicate in thought between two people.
I’d imagine any such system would have a learning curve as each brain figures out the patterns but it seems there isn’t any fundamental difference that makes each person’s thoughts unintelligible.
(Granted, as siblings one could argue their thoughts would naturally tend toward being intelligible but it seems too early to know the answer to that question)

- Asraelite 9y agoBeing joined from birth, any and all memories and experiences formed in their brains that could be shared were shared, and so they would have similar associations and mental pathways formed based on them. While it may be possible to learn and figure out patterns from someone else that you were connected to, I think it would be immensely difficult. You may have to learn the whole world from their point of view from scratch for any mental relations they communicate to have any meaning.
- failrate 9y agoDirect mind-to-mind communication, as hard as that is, will not be the primary challenge. Safety and defensive mechanisms will be far more challenging. We already have invasive techniques that use nothing more than images, sound, text. Direct mind access would make techniques that were far more dangerous and insidious.
