A new way for people to 'change their minds'?
Or an avenue for government to change your mind for you?

I see mind control in the future of this breakthrough... instead of waterboarding, we'll just fiddle with the brain directly...

Argiod seems to be in the dark with this effusion

You seem to be under the impression attempted mind control didn't happen in the early to mid 1950's in clandestine attempts and be adopted by the (US) CIA etc, especially so in the early 1960's with Sirhan Sirhan who appears to have been hypnotised to assassinate Bobby Kennedy, you really must see the Derren Brown example that shows rather definitively how people can be easily influenced to commit murder they would not be capable of doing when not under a trance or similar hypnotic state...

Nation states have been trying to influence their populace since time immemorial, the methods available have been more sophisticated now by far than the education of most since the mid 1950's and they have shifted up a notch or two since the rise of the internet also...
