What a time to be alive. Thanks to the advances in technology we can finally test if it's really true that when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Have to ask the test subject, although perhaps weeks of therapy might be required to get the answer from them …

I find this exciting and scary at the same time. If you use an NLP algorithm instead, it isn't a big leap to know what someone is thinking about.

Careful, comrade.

Wouldn't an NLP version be something more like subvocal recognition (which has been around for decades)?
