Who Owns ‘Telepathy’?
Elon Musk’s neural implant startup Neuralink has been trying to trademark two product names: Telepathy and Telekinesis. Musk has previously claimed that his company will be able to give people “superpowers,” so the desire to take ownership over these special abilities makes sense. Unfortunately for Neuralink, patent applications for Telepathy and Telekinesis have already been filed by a different business.
a lucid dreaming startup (who knew there was such a thing?) called Prophetic previously filed trademark applications for Telepathy in 2023 and Telekinesis last summer. Prophetic’s website, which says the company is “pioneering a radical transformation of the human experience,” is owned by a computer scientist named Wesley Berry. Berry’s company seeks to create a “non-invasive neuromodulation” wearable to “help people achieve lucid dreaming,” the site says, although there’s limited information online about how that would work.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
