      Telepathy is typically used for mind-to-mind, but here there is an intermediary. I guess better something like mind-reading.

        Some time ago someone posted about psychic staring effect and morphic resonance stuff here on Lemmy, I think the new advances on the telepathic field are related to both of these.

        Edit: the not so good part it’s I believe it will not pass so long when someone start to make mind-control possible.

          That sounds like pseudoscience to me.

          On the other hand, there have been rather dramatic advances in brain / computer interfaces and using machine learning to interpret electrical signals from the human brain. The good news there is that every brain is different, the machines need to learn each brain individually (a model trained to pull dream images out of my brain will pull just gibberish out of yours).

          So far, the researchers would need your close cooperation in order to train a machine to understand even a little bit of what’s going on in your mind. This tech is nowhere near being used for interrogation.

            Did you believe MK-Ultra and Stargate projects have already developed technology related to this stuff?

                MK-Ultra and Stargate projects isn’t conspiracy theory, both projects have been declassified some time ago and they were real projects.

                  Yes, but nothing real came of them. The US government has a long and well recorded history of spending money on pseudoscience, even well after it’s been debunked, as long as there are True Believers in the chain of command.

                  And the conspiracy theory community has a long and even more dramatic history of taking those mole hills and turning them into mountains (especially if grifters can sell books and / or T-shirts and / or weird copper sculptures that are supposed to “protect” you from it).

                  Look, I grew up with parents (and a wide community) who believed in psychic shit, crystal healing, telepathy, getting messages from the Akoshic record, what evs. It’s NOT real and also believing it is NOT harmless. You’re gonna find PLENTY of misinformation about what people “believe” but if you look into any of it, you’re going to discover that somewhere along the line someone channeled something or someone like David Icke or Garahm Hancock or Rudolph Steiner or Drunvalo Melchizedek or Raël is involved, or someone is selling tickets to their lecture or psychic seminar.
