On mind control: 
While discussion of these techniques are popular amongst cult critics, conspiracy buffs, and as a subject of speculative fiction, any techniques of mind control that actually work would have real-world applications. Such applications, were they to exist, might include use by hypothetical religious cults, by governments as torture techniques used to obtain confessions, as psyops to break resistance movements, by the advertising industry to manipulate consumer habits, and by the public relations industry to manufacture consent or remediate corporate image in the event of a crisis.
That was the weirdest display of geekdom that I have ever seen in my entire life.

The different views on the subject do have legal implications. For example, mind control was an issue in the court case of Patty Hearst, and in several court cases involving New Religious Movements. Also, questions of mind control are regarding ethical questions linked to the subject of free will.
