For those who wax philosophical over every little thing (eyeroll included), let me ask: do we really want a science that links neurology to thoughts? Because that's sounds dystopian AF.
It seems to me a world that avoid such a link to avoid a dystopia would be pretty dystopian already, as any world that require upholding ignorance to sustain itself must be.
And if it manage to sustain itself for some period, some people must see the leverage acquiring the forbidden knowledge would give in a world of the ignorant. So an attempt to prevent the dystopia by avoiding the science merely ensures when it inevitably arrived, it will more likely come first to the hands of people who are least likely to do good with it.
