I didn't really need additional evidence that business is increasingly divorcing itself from actual consumer needs, but here it is anyway.

When I read the headline, it immediately made me wonder where 'abroad' Orban is admired. It certainly isn't in my neck of the woods.

Meanwhile he has drawn admirers around the world, including US Vice President JD Vance and Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze. US President Donald Trump has called Orban "smart" and "a tough person".

Ah. Yes.

Define 'mind-control'. Trans-cranial magnetic stimulation has been perfectly capable of changing people's broad moods since 1985 and is being actively used to treat depression right now. The underlying technology is only going to get more precise, especially as more research on spintronics is done for other purposes. Sure, right now our understanding of how what goes on in a given brain translates to 'thoughts' is insufficient to change those thoughts in any reliable way, but there's little doubt that when we do, the technology to make it happen will almost certainly be around.
