How to read minds

I was reading this book about King Tut when it wandered off into how to read minds, as King Tut evidently had that power.

It was a pretty simple "how to" and I thought, very interesting.
Here's how it works:

Now we all know that thinking thoughts generates electricity called post-synaptic potential. This generates an electrical field which spreads through the brain tissue and skull bones and can be detected by a measuring device such as a EEG (electroencephalograph) machine.

​

​

By "reading" this field we read the thoughts of anyone we choose. But, as this electrical field is very small and must travel through the soft tissue and the bones of the skull it's very hard to detect. In addition, for me to read your thoughts without a machine I must also be able to detect the electrical field from a distance, through the air.

The problem is I'm thinking my own thoughts and as I'm closer to me than I am to you, the electrical field generated by me is stronger than the one generated by you as it must travel all that distance and through all that bone and stuff.
So I drown you out and can't read your thoughts.

The problem then becomes, how can I detect your thoughts as they're so weak?
One way is to amplify your thoughts. This can be done by making you angry and as your temper rises your brain generates a stronger electrical field, thus increasing my chances of "hearing" your thoughts.

But this is dangerous as if I haven't angered you enough to "excite" your electrical output enough to overcome my electrical output, I may not read your mind quick enough to duck and then I get a bloody nose.

There must be a better way.
And there is.
All I need to do is quiet my mind by not thinking so that my electrical output doesn't block out your electrical output and then I can "pick up" your vibes, so to speak.
I can do this by meditation. I just stop my thinking process. Now that my mind is quiet, it's more receptive.

According to the book this explains why dogs seem to be able to read our minds, they're not thinking about algebra, stock quotes, or Dancing With the Stars. They're more receptive to our "higher" energy output.

So far it all made sense:

Then I started to think. If dogs have lower energy output thus allowing us to broadcast our thoughts to them, then birds must be better able to hear our thoughts as they have smaller brains and think less than even dogs and that's why they can sense that I'm thinking about what a fine wash job I just did and then poop on my clean car.

And worms must be even better at hearing my thoughts.
And how about when I'm sleeping? I should be able to hear everybodys' thoughts in the world! That must be why my dreams are so screwed up, cross channel talk.

And how about dumb people? They can hear everything I'm thinking cause I'm smarter than them and I'm thinking more and they don't seem to think at all,.....but they can't understand what I'm thinking about so they end up voting for Trump.

Oh, this is getting dense. I must be jamming up half the county thinking about this stuff.

And then it dawned on me! That's why people wear tinfoil hats on their heads, not to stop stuff from getting it...it's to stop their thoughts from getting out and confusing the rest of us!
So I'm thinking, this guy must be a genius and he's protecting us from an overload of his superior brain waves!!

Oh, it all makes sense now....I'm going to go meditate so I don't confuse all the dumb people anymore than I have to until I get some tin foil at the store.
