      On the one hand, I can see a future where people in office settings are required to wear that, so that your bosses always know exactly what’s on your mind at all times, which is terrifying.

      On the other hand, I would kind of like to play with it to see if the songs that are infinitely playing on repeat in my head could be reproduced perfectly just from me thinking about them.

      It would also basically mean that I would be unemployable because nobody wants to hear, you know, a song constantly being played out of my head on infinite repeat.
