Nita Farahany admits the discovery that we’re already tracking brain activity in the workplace made her shudder. But she is now hailing the benefits, insisting that they can be used without abuse.

Kind of a crank website. Then again, this is the WEF we’re talking about; even chuds can see that having your boss read your mind is a bad idea.
We’re already seeing things moving in that direction right now. There is tons of employee monitoring software. Companies use key loggers, video surveillance, attention tracking, and so on. Then there’s a recent case of a woman being ordered to reimburse former employer for ‘time theft’ based on the monitoring software.

I’m lucky I haven’t beem subjected to that yet. I fear the day when that becomes the norm.
It will only become the norm is people let this become the norm. There will come a point where people are going to say enough is enough.
