Do you think a telepathic society would fare better than one reliant on speech?

Answer 1

I know I wouldn't, and given the typical effect of honesty on society(trust me, it's not as good as most people think), no. In fact NO.

Personally, between the time taken to find proper words and the typical settlement on words not exactly what I'm looking for to say bringing down the offensive nature of many of my comments, I'm saved a great deal of trouble.

Now where does honesty figure in? I come up with these things because I'm honest. If some one asks me what they look like I give them an honest answer, should the look like a manatee, they are informed. I'm not into that 'honest when it's nice' thing, strikes me the same as lying.

Most people who actually bother to be truly and entirely honest come across the same thing, I just happen to have a fully armed vocabulary for unsavory subjects most of them happen to lack.

Answer 2

Absolutely. I have often commented on such a concept and I believe it will happen. In the not too distant future, today’s personal computers and the way in which data is stored and accessed will become obsolete as to be considered downright primitive. There will be no monitor or bulky hardware as data will be sent directly to and from the consciousness via implants. Nor will there be a keyboard or mouse as instructions will be achieved with mere thought. The data of the future, be it in the form of image, information or even sensation, will in essence be no more than thought. But data it will be and it's only ever going to be a far more advanced form of that which exists today.

Answer 3

If telepathy actually was a reality... then yes it would be probably a better form of communication.

Our spoken and written communication could be neared to perfect if the people doing the listening actually heard or read what was intended rather than putting their own immediate bias and spins on everything as soon as it reached their puny little brains.

Try reading this with an open mind.... It happens to be true. "Belief by faith is only possible through an intentional abandonment of rational thought and logic."

Answer 4

As long as everyone was telepathic and they were from birth, and it had all ways been so. It would do far better. But if our world suddenly became telepathic their would be outright mayhem. Until women learned how to make their thoughts seem ambiguous(they would be the first to figure it out it's in their nature.)

Answer 5

If all were telepathic, it would get confusing trying to tell if your thoughts were really yours or not. The stronger ones would take over the minds of the weaker ones and create a slave race. Or, all individuality would be lost, and without creative diversity, the species would go on the decline. so no, i don't think so.

Answer 6

Uh, NO. Would you want everyone to know what you are thinking constantly? And how would this work exactly? Would every thought you think be sent out to everyone? That would cause world-wide insanity. If not, then what? You send your thoughts only to those you want to hear them? Well, that's a LOT like speech then, isn't it? Not much different at all, actually.

Answer 7

A telepathic society would mean a society that can see and feel intention. A spirtual society like this would be great news.

Answer 8

For Pete's sake! How do you think we pray to God? Would you like a bonus answer? How do you think Jesus and God works miracles (when such miracle would not be disharmonious)?.

Answer: Telekinesis

(Don't fall for the Bubba Preacher's definition of God.

God is only a loving scientist from an evolutionarily, and technologically advanced planet. He can't be everywhere at one time, but has developed a way to reconstruct you after your stay here on Earth. - So be thankful for eternal life, and don't worry when God does not work a miracle for you.)

Of course, evolution continued, even after the people of Planet Big H achieved perfect health, eternal life and guaranteed survivability..

One such mutation was an improvement to mental telepathy, it involved unlimited range of distance and mind reading of both passive and active participants. Think tanks on Planet Big H were greatly improved by this new mind-reading mutation. It was, of course, a voluntary empathetic mutation. You couldn't force anyone to let you read their mind.

Mental telepathy, became Planet wide, when Big H was nearing its 6 billionth birthday. It, mental telepathy, was the precursor of the next great mutation; the removal of criminal distractions.

Answer 9

I am creeped out by having my mind read by everyone. How do we filter out all the junk in our head and send the things we really need to communicate? It would be a bummer for the phone industry.

Answer 10

not unless everyone in that society had complete control over their thoughts. i can imagine few circumstances more hellish than to be privy to the continuous inane jabbering that goes on in most human minds.
