Mount and guard become the same position. Sweeps become pointless. Side control and north-south become neutral positions. No idea how escaping back control would work. It's an interesting thought experiment and might have practical use for the Space Force.

Researchers Induce Smells With Ultrasound, No Chemical Cartridges Required

you could reasonably encode the meaning of a paragraph into a 400-dimensional vector. If you had a device which allows for this kind of writing, you could learn to associate the input patterns with their corresponding meanings. After that, you could directly smell the latent space. A bit of ultrasound, a breath in - and you understood a paragraph.

I smell kung fu.

Not knowing the language is a problem which doesn't fully eliminate the issue, you're right, but it does eliminate the possibility of changing the written scriptures. As a result there will always be thinkers who can return to the original text and come to their own conclusions, challenging the prevailing thoughts of their region or era, something that has repeatedly occurred in Muslim history.

I was responding to the text I quoted, not the full post 🙄

The Koran and Torah yield similar results. I think that is the main reason why religions try, or have tried in the past, to restrict reading to a select few leaders and try to keep the propaganda to what they want it to mean at any given time in history.

Regarding the Koran, your statement is verifiably false. It was widely read and memorized by the masses so that a select few leaders couldn't control what they want it to mean.
