I think many are, unless they're doing it just for the money.

Haha yeah. What would you think is the evident & evidential case? :)

I can't recall the specific movie right now. I'm not sure if it was Phenomenon starring John Travolta or Starman starring Jeff Bridges. But I actually remember some scenes where one of these fuckers could READ and absorb the content of an entire 500 pages book or encyclopedia in less than 5 seconds through their fingers.

Maybe these #newsteem 'curators' can leave to any of these movie stars biting the dust with the speed of their new 'mind reading' skillz. LoL

I think I've seen both. I can't remember which movie it was either. However, reading via osmosis would be something else. Closest I can get to it is listening via high-speed TTS. YouTube is pretty cool too. You can speed the lectures up to x2. So you can cut an intolerable 30-minute talk from a slow speaker into an easily digestible 15 minutes. When Elon Musk comes out with his brain chip, I wonder if, at some point, people will download books straight into their heads. That'd change all the things and stuff.
