Yes. Too much of peoples’ minds and lives are preoccupied with worries and anticipations of what goes on in the minds of others. Not to mention deception is typically done to others’ detriment. In a world where we could all just hear and understand each other, I think it would lead to a society of greater empathy and less bullshit or noise.
Looking For: I’m looking for a technical cofounder or technical founding member.

No. That would be a working definition of hell. Reading other people's minds would be evil, unethical, and immoral. It would violate their privacy and lead directly to worldwide insanity because the whole basis of the Bill of Rights is privacy. No rights are possible without privacy. No life, liberty nor pursuit of happiness. Just robots like those people in totalitarian countries [or consumers in America who are willing to give up their privacy]. Look at East Germany under the Stasi -- the highest rates of suicide ever recorded. The S.O.B.'s who create totalitarian regimes want to read your mind. Everything bad is the result.
Looking For: I am looking for a co-founder. I am here to find a Co Founder.

I think that's a two-part question. The first, reading everyone's mind, would not be a good thing. Some things should be left in privacy. If we could all truly understand each other's thoughts and emotions, the world would progress at a much faster rate.
Looking For: A venture to join that's changing the world one user experience at a time.
