X : What do you think about direct human computer interfaces?
Me : I'm not sure what you mean. Are we talking mind reading?
X : Yes
Me : Let's get past conversational programming first. There's a long way to go ... many decades.

X : But don't you think it could be the next step?
Me : Humans have spent hundreds of thousands of years talking to each other. Except in niche cases (pre-existing conditions through birth, illness or accident) then let us concentrate on solving for the existing state.

X : I thought you were against the verbal path i.e. maps?
Me : We create a map and all sit around in silence looking at it whilst goodness flows over us ... err, no. Conversation is an important part of mapping. I'm less inclined towards stories when you could use a map.

X : But you could read the map directly from the mind.
Me : Hmmm, we barely understand how to map a competitive environment. We certainly don't understand the implications of reading thoughts - how humans would react. You want to mix both of these together? Really?

Me : A better path for now is to draw the map and discuss with others. The mind reading stuff belongs in science fiction for the moment. Always worth researching, not worth getting carried away with ... lots of failure down that path.
