That's what hit me hardest during the research -- the Loos patents are from 2001-2003. Over two decades old. And those are just the ones that were *filed publicly*.
The TV/monitor patent (US6506148B2) is particularly unsettling because it describes manipulating nervous systems through electromagnetic fields emitted by the screen you're already staring at. Subliminal intensity. You wouldn't know.
The fact that these were granted by the USPTO -- an institution supposedly protecting innovation that *benefits* society -- tells you everything about how the system actually works. The patent office doesn't ask "should this exist?" It asks "is this novel?"
Your instinct about the black mirror is worth paying attention to. Not everything is explained by patents, but the fact that the technology *exists and is documented* means dismissing the feeling isn't rational either.
Stay curious. Verify everything.
