LostInSpace Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Well folks, looks like detecting lying has gone the next step LIAR LIAR . But it does have big social rammifications about it's uses and that of future devices being thought about. "Perhaps one would need only point a sensing device at people ÔÇö making it possible to test someoneÔÇÖs truthfulness without their knowledge. ÔÇ£WeÔÇÖre interested in covert detection of prefrontal activity, where the subject may not be told the experience is occurring. ThatÔÇÖs in the future but it is possible,ÔÇØ he said. ÔÇ£Obviously, there are ethical problems.ÔÇØ Critics agree." EGADS!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostInSpace Posted October 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2003 On more thoughts about this issue, I think Politicians, Lawyers, Lawenforcement etc.. have the most to worry about this. Can you imagine getting a reading on some high ranking government official when asked about the UFO coverup. Oh yeah..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorchedearth Posted October 25, 2003 Report Share Posted October 25, 2003 It's been my experience that people lie because a majority of human beings cannot handle truth. As a species, we could grow up a bit. If a politician stated there was new evidence of extra-terresrial life, I could easily see most of the planet looking to these aliens as salvation. People would get mad that a "more evolved species" didn't do anything to help them get out of the ghetto believing they "deserve" to be given the gift of everything. "What's my cut?" seems to be the big cosmic question posed by humanity sometimes. I would hesitate to share certain things with such a people. I see a device that measures one's veracity quickly becoming a weapon used by children to get what they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
