A scifi author wrote about "the mechanism" where just formulating a bit too clear intent against another person resulted in disabling pain and multiple infractions would result in reprogramming.

Now, that same mechanism would prevent most actions that could initiate said intent too.

In the stories, this is not abused, and serves humanity reasonably well.

We are so damn far from any sort of state where things like this make sense. They can, will be abused.

I experience the same emotions. The opportunity to share experience more directly is super compelling!

But yeah. Major league downsides.
