If the writing kept pace with the thoughts, you'd be writing as fast as the brain can think (the brain cannot intentionally think "slower" which is one of the biggest arguments against IQ testing and other conceptions of "linear intelligence") - you cannot write for 5 minutes straight without thinking about (and writing) what you are hiding. uh, yes, you, can. just, pause, after, each, letter, and, increase,,, the pause amount, after each important word. yeah but that's still processing the thought as fast as possible and just... waiting around, idle, until the next thought is to be had. It's just how brains work. so anyway it'd be a constant stream of consciousness way of outputting exactly what the mind-reading machine is saying. Just make sure you trust the person who made the mind-reader machine, and maybe make sure it's impossible to tamper with. or don't make it?? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3946 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────── @user-1623 I perform the song of my heart which sometimes feels similar ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3949 ╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────┐ ║ ┌────────────────────────┐ │ ║ │ CW: politics-mentioned │ │ ║ └────────────────────────┘ │ ║ │ ║ │ ║ less mutual aid posts, those should be handled by a person's community who │ ║ knows them and can decide how to best help them │ ║ │ ║ more "hey the guys and I are making a fund just in-case any of us need it - │ ║ it's at 30,000 now but we could use some more dosh if you wanna join you could │ ║ use it if you needed it but it's totally up to you no pressure - yeah yeah no I │ ║ get it.
