Facebook has 60 people working on how to read your mind

If the thought that a company that makes almost all of its money from harvesting your personal data could also have access to your thoughts is scary, that’s because it is.

The text means "... ask this year's employee of the year to enter the stage, Mark Zuckerberg!"

Maybe I should make a separate forum board for "Wild and Fantastic stories" :D

I have a better idea. Why don't you get a VPS, set up a forum there dedicated to your weird topics you keep bringing up, and discuss all these things to your heart's content? Because most of it is kind of fringe, to say the least...

Or, maybe you should find an existing forum where all this is already normal conversational material and enjoy being part of that community?

I'm suggesting that because I don't think there's much common ground here with most forum users. And might even lead to annoyance and frustration.
