A lot of mouthwash uses alcohol, which does cause oral cancer
Glass not being a polymer still does suggest they're talking out of turn
Why wouldn't companies just set themselves up as the exchanges in that scenario?
I don't think it would functionally change anything
Kinda like artemis but with AI?
I mostly agree, but I can also envision a situation in which you don't want the people that you're doing recognizance on covering up their illicit activities because they're listening to the police radio. A good compromise would be to record the encrypted traffic and make it public some arbitrary but fair length of time after the fact.
Ever listen to the ocean?

On Reddit, it depends on the subreddit. Some of them I don't care about usernames at all, but on smaller or more specialty/niche subreddits there actually can be a "community" of people who learn about each other
I imagine it can be similar here
Fragment of the Diamond Sutra
I was on a short vacation last week and saw a preserved fragment of the Diamond Sutra from the Dunhuang collection.
Of course the Diamond sutra gets referenced occasionally in the zen tradition, so here is my reference-ception where I reference the Book of Serenity, where Wansong references National Teacher An referencing the Diamond Sutra
National Teacher An brought up the Diamond-Cutter Scripture, saying, " 'You should enliven the mind without dwelling on anything.'--not dwelling on anything means not dwelling on form, not dwelling on sound, not dwelling on delusion, not dwelling on enlightenment, not dwelling on essence, not dwelling on function. Enlivening the mind means manifesting one mind in all places: if you enliven the mind dwelling on good, goodness appears; if you enliven the mind dwelling on evil, evil appears--the basic mind is concealed. If it doesn'e dwell on anything, anywhere, the whole world is one mind."
-Commentary on Case 74 in the Book of Serenity

Attributed to the 6th Patriarch of the Zen school, Huineng
D.T Suzuki described Huineng's teaching here as a bomb because of it's implications, and I think he's right. It is the ultimate preclusion of form, doctrine, practice, mental objects, etc.
There are questions about the authenticity of much of the record attributed to huineng, but either way this teaching gets echoed by other zen masters through the centuries

Attaining the Way is not difficult, If only you dislike picking and choosing. Only when you do not "hate" and "love" Will the Way thus be clearly and plainly revealed.
If there exists the smallest distinction, Heaven and Earth become divided and out of balance. If you want to have the Way appear in front of you, Do not remain "agreeable" or "opposed" to anything.
When "disagreeable" and "agreeable" compete with each other, This makes your heart/mind sick. When you do not understand the deep and mysterious meaning of the Way, It is useless to merely quiet your thoughts.
The Way is perfect and complete, just like the greatest void - Nothing lacking, nothing extra. It is precisely because you "select" and "reject" That you therefore do not perceive the Suchness of everything.
Do not pursue Being and entanglements; Do not dwell in Emptiness and sufferance. When the mind is at peace in Oneness, Thus are these eliminated, and naturally fade away.
