🧠 The Day Everyone Could Hear Each Other’s Thoughts

📌 An Absurdist Tale of Mental Chaos, Unexpected Truths, and the Death of Small Talk

By Ahmet Kıvanç DemirkıranPublished 11 months ago • 1 min read
“No one spoke. Yet every thought floated above them—awkward, honest, and impossible to ignore.”

What If the Mind Was No Longer Private?

No one knew how it happened.

There was no alien invasion. No experimental tech. No cursed headphones.

But one morning, the barrier between thoughts and speech disappeared—and every human on Earth could hear what everyone else was thinking.

At first… silence.

Then—panic.

⸝

1️⃣ Mind Leaks Begin

It started on the subway.

A woman glared at a stranger.

“That guy smells like a sock full of soup.”

He turned red.

“Rude.”

But he didn’t say it. He thought it.

And she heard it.

Every cafĂŠ, classroom, office became a battlefield of unspoken truths.

You couldn’t hide:

• Jealousy

• Cravings

• Regret

• Love

• Hate

• The fact that you forgot someone’s name—again

⸝

2️⃣ Society Unravels (And Then Gets Honest)

Social media collapsed.

No one needed Instagram when you could hear:

“I posted this for validation. Please like it.”

Politicians fell.

“I don’t believe a word I just said.”

Romantic dates became therapy sessions.

“He’s cute, but I still think about my ex.”

But then…

Something changed.

People stopped pretending.

And what remained was raw, clumsy, real humanity.

⸝

3️⃣ The Rise of Thought Etiquette

To cope, new rules emerged:

• “Mental Whispering” was taught in schools.

• Couples went on “Mind-Free Vacations.”

• Headphones with static became fashionable again.

But others thrived in this world:

• Therapists became rockstars.

• Introverts became truth oracles.

• Overthinkers accidentally became philosophers.

A new profession was born:

“Mind Translator” — someone who could help interpret confusing internal monologues.

⸝

4️⃣ The Great Quieting

After months of mental mayhem, the phenomenon vanished.

Suddenly—our thoughts were private again.

People wept.

Some felt relieved.

Others… missed the intimacy.

Because in that loud, chaotic, ridiculous chapter of history…

we had seen each other for real.

⸝

📌 Final Thoughts: When Minds Were Open, Hearts Followed

✔ Privacy is sacred.

✔ But honesty—when forced—can transform.

✔ We all have messy thoughts. What we choose to do with them? That’s who we are.

💡 Final Thought:

🧠 We were never meant to be perfect inside—only true.
