Drugs and/or meditation are pretty potent "thought tools". (If only as a side effect). Popular with scientists, artists and engineers the world over. Proven useful but maybe still under the shadow of taboo. Much serious development could be done there I imagine a class of specialized "thought workers", dosing up like Mentats. Or meditating in government-issue sensory-deprivation tanks.
