Well, I guess the exception would be superheros and the face of god(s).

Everyone needs to hide their identity from someone.

Grocery stores in Alabama and Oklahoma are installing vending machines that allow customers to purchase firearm ammunition. Terry Stanley, COO of Fresh Value, said he is “super excited” to offer “the first ammo kiosk.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I don't understand the reference. I was speaking more of matters of privacy in the modern world. Meta and others make a lot of money off people's data, and there are many that would like to know the identity of the jurors in the hush money trial. Our identity can be exploited, thus hiding it becomes a modern necessity.

I don’t disagree, but I think there’s a difference between hiding your identity and protecting your identity.

Of course. Protecting your identity means things like not giving your personal info. Hiding your identity would be living under an assumed name.

A distinction without a difference if ever there was one.

Dunno. That bot dog seems vastly more intelligent than Trump, or most of his fervent supporters.

Japanese philosophy of the three faces - the image we show the world, the one for loved ones, and the one we keep hidden.

Why do these bold and brave freedom fighters feel the need to cover their faces. It's almost enough to make you they were afraid they'd be recognized. Dodgy
