re: How screwed would you be if everyone could hear your thoughts?

I think everyone would be in trouble

A lot of women would know how screwed they could be

I think women would be generally shocked that I can't help but wonder what that little twinge on their face looks like when it slides in for the first time.

I think men would be a little worried about how often I contemplate murdering them.

...it would end...poorly.

I've always wanted to test that theory. Start out the night by approaching random women with "Hi. Wanna have sex?" Slapped 90% of the time, but probably get laid by the end of the night.

I had a buddy in college who practically did this. No shame or fear of rejection whatsoever. It was amazing to watch. If we were at a nightclub he’d walk up to a group of girls - “Wanna dance?” No
Turns to her friend…”Wanna dance?” No
Turns to other friend…”Wanna dance?”No
Moves on to the next group and repeats.
He’d hit on every girl in the place and always end up fricking one in his Porsche in the parking lot before the night was done.

Everyone would probably drop dead upon hearing mine, so maybe not such a good idea.

Completely and totally fricked. Inner monologue is the primary reason I’m vehemently against the neural link Musk is trying to develop.

We hired this petite little 22 year old last month. And I can't help but make the comparison to a fleshlight... Every time she walks in my office.

would need to become a hermit

Kurt Vonnegut wrote a short story in which everyone suddenly could hear everyone else's thoughts.

The result quickly was mass suicide.

Pushing 60 now, that particular filter has been disabled for quite a while now, and yet I still don't care and even better, you can't make me.
