And that is not what was being referred to a gibberish. The facts are as Snowden stated, we now live in a world where privacy has been effectively abolished. This has nothing to do with mind reading, and those claiming "gibberish" other than you were not misinterpreting that statement to refer to mind reading.

As I said, nice try.
