And if this is science why no progress? Why do we not have “ennui detectors” and “grief detectors” and “sad about Arrested Development being cancelled detectors” and “Thinking about sex detectors”. Other forms of instruments that operate in reality progress, become more accurate and branch out. Telescopes turn into radio telescopes, for example. Yet this idiotic fascist mental torture technique remains locked in its infantile form. And in a strange way it MUST remain unimproved, because to improve it would be to admit that it is pure BS.

I am still convinced the main use of the “polygraph” is to detect the presence of, or insist on the adherence to, a worldview of childlike black and white ethics or morality. The purpose of the test is to FORCE all subtlety out of the world and FORCE the victim to adhere to a Yes/No worldview. There IS NO TRUTH to “detect”. It simply does not exist in any part of anyone’s brain/soul/eyes/blood/breath or anywhere. That is why it remains in use in cadet screening. They want to screen out all subtlety and frankly… intelligence. Or at least a certain kind of intelligence. The kind that sees a subtle gradation in… anything.

San Francisco is where all the BS began… It’s disturbing to realize that the polygraph was the “sane” alternative to torture when it was first introduced.
