    Maybe there are people who have more powerful brain waves or something… like some kind of abnormality who can make they more likely to be remote targets…

      I’m no expert in biology but the way I understand it our brains all work in roughly the same way, so I don’t think that would be possible.

      Brains transmit/change state (a.k.a. think) using electricity. It’s basically a flesh computer. You can’t read thoughts without being able to measure the brain’s electrical/chemical activity. If you had any theoretically possible mind-reading (and by extension mind-controlling) technology, it would still need to physically connect to your neurons or something…

      That being said, I don’t imagine it’d be too hard for sci-fi future folk to stick a chip in every newborn’s brain from the get-go. But that’s a future too far from now, we’ll all be dead by then probably.
