Being able to access people's naked thoughts sounds like a disaster. That's the part of it I can't quite get a grip on. If we end up with systems that perform "telepathy", what do they actually pick up? The active part of the mind that filters and decides (the "ego" if you will) or all the random noise and nonsense that's in there but not really willed or deliberate? If all the random thoughts and impulses, critical voices, and what not were tapped into, a lot of people would be in huge trouble quickly, and not necessarily of their own volition.
