Zuckerberg is NOT a Flesh eating lizard bent on World domination: but he does want Techno-Telepathy to be the next communication method.

Wait....what?!?! Did you read that right? Yes. You read that right.

At a recent (rather the FIRST) Q&A someone actually asked the CEO of Facebook if he was secretly a lizard. This 'conspiracy' theory is a long held belief that has jokingly been made popular by such people as Louis C.K. who asked the same question to Donal Rumsfeld.

Mark replied a solid 'No,' and then licked his lips.


The real story I found interesting about this Q&A though was talk of Techno-Telepathy. What is that you ask? It is  capturing and 'Sharing' your thoughts straight from your head. Think Data from Star Trek but his brain is a social network that can immediately communicate to other androids like himself.

Zuckerberg describes it as the next step of sharing on the internet after text, photo, video and live streaming. There is only one place left to go, immediate thought. He has previously said that Telepathy  is the 'Future of Communication,' and he may be right.

Where else can communication evolve? We have seen experiments on mice where we 'imprinted' a route through a maze (it worked) but nothing on the human level. Ethical questions aside, would there even be a need for Facebook if we all had Telepathy? Couldn't we just communicate with each other without means of technology? Is that the ultimate roadmap for technology? To become one with and no longer dependent on machines?

I assume you could also glean or perceive that he is talking about Virtual Reality. Everyone with goggles on and plugged into an artificial world where we can see, hear, touch and feel someone halfway around the world, from the convenience of our couch. Matrix anyone? This scenario would be a separate universe and NOT Techno-Telepathy however.

Zuckerberg? Eisenberg? Or Flesh-Eating Lizard man?

Let me conclude my thoughts on this; If the CEO/Lizard-man wants to evolve society into a bunch of Telepaths then we will have much bigger problems than just 'how we share our feelings and experiences.' We will be able to 'Charles Xavier' each other and find out our deepest, darkest secrets. Relationships, professional careers, and perceptions will be utterly destroyed. On the other hand, we would be held accountable for our actions and free-roaming guilty people would no longer be getting off 'Scott-Free.'

This is a much larger debate. Do you think it would benefit society to SERIOUSLY explore human telepathy? Or would it be to the detriment and cause people to practice 'mind-defenses' and safeguards...ultimately bringing us to a higher level of where we are currently?

What are your 'thoughts?' <-- See what I did there? ha!
