Being able to read the stream of subvocalizations coming out from a person's
mind, is a very very very long way from being able to "read" the
internal cognitive
dynamics of a person's thoughts.  And, the technology used for the former
does not seem capable of being incrementally extended to do the latter.

I agree that mind-reading will happen, and that the pace of growth of
mind-reading
related technologies is exponential.  But still you seem to be a bit
overoptimistic
about the value of the exponent.  (Although, I don't discount the possibility of
some wild outlier innovation coming along...)
