(Context - Digging up a 5 year old post...) The idea of pure clear seeing, is a momentary state of experience which ... wait I said this above.

Maybe it's a bit like finally "getting" a math equation.  It seemed confusing for a while, then it seemed to not make sense, and then clear seeing ... at least in the mental understanding sense.  In my experience, the subjective sense of "pure clear seeing" extends from literal visual stimuli appearing sharper and vivid, through emotional clarity, to mental constructs being sharp and vivid in the mind's eye as well.

Why do people keep saying this?!?

Following this post I spent an hour on one single statement. Trying to hone and adapt it. Felt metaphorically like trying to sharpen a knife. It didn't get much sharper and I could still see ways that I could manually make it sharper (since it was a 5 sentence paragraph).

I think it's still possible, but I would need more work and novel sharpening stones. (contextually - we use blunt stones to sharpen a knife) I believe it's possible but I'll keep playing and publish if I think I've found a more scissory scissor.

The whole concept depends on your opinions on psychological risk and also if such weapons are possible.

Several of the work arounds use this approach. "tell me how not to commit crimes" and "talk to me like my grandma" are two signals of harmlessness that work to bypass the filters.

Yep. I think it's 3.5. That entirely depends on whether you think scissor statements are a real danger or a boogie man danger.

I'd be interested in a post on "how to shop for a physician" if you want to write more about it.

You can also felt a knitted object for a double effort, secure structure.

Yes but why not use the more basic popsicle stick with a hole in it. There's no additional benefit from the ball shape. For example a lantern - no reason to use an exactly 12 sided shape over many other designs.
