I didn't. My answer is as much guessing as the other funny ones. It's just the lamest one as in: if no other information is given then the question must be about the (true) semantic relation of the words themselves ... which there isn't because the accusation of treason is arbitrary. πŸ˜…

Nothing much, really. Usually, those who have been accused of being traitors have in fact been loyal ... just to something that was not in favour at the time.

You forget to mention, a constitution that is written (and properly commented) in such a way that it doesn't require any interpretation; and that will receive periodic review and updating according to cultural and historical development; and that holds actual punishment for lawmakers who violate the constitution. Not saying that i know of any such thing.

All the power that an advertisement network can buy. Especially youtube since it's owned by google. And advertisers will be happy to have a way of forcing site visitors to run ads/malware or else they will not get served the content.
It's similar to certain bank apps refusing to function on Android devices with an unlocked bootloader: you want the convenience of an e-banking application (/ad-driven corporate website)? -- Your device (/web browser) "security" must be verified by the "authority" who actually owns your operating system, else you won't. Everyone* will "be loving" their secure devices, because they "just work".

Google is trying to use their dominance to actually own the www. The comment/issue section of the github site of the proposal is quite enlightening, if you have the time ... especially their reactions on the general dismissal and condemnation of the proposal as unethical.

Bottom line: Google want to introduce a live certification process for web clients so that webservers can potentially discriminate against specific configurations.

Is this a kōan? If not, we could make it one.

My dry take would be, it's commonly deemed the least significant one. Though, some cultures/languages might sort them somewhat arbitrarily. ... And how much final are we talking, anyway?

Well it looks like this rather belongs to the DM session you started. But perhaps make a separate post, asking everyone?

It's called hypodipsia or adipsia. The bad thing for me is that dehydration causes the brain to get forgetful of things. So i notice that i'm dehydrated and i remind myself that i should drink ... only to have forgotten about it after 10 seconds.

What helps me is to always have a water bottle at hand, and preferably have it so that i'm often reminded of its presence. Frequently have it in the field of vision, or strap it to the belt. Then train the habit that whenever i get aware of the bottle i immediately take some.
If you dislike the taste of pure water then try adding some flavour to it. Mineral supplement fizzle tabs, lemon, mint leaves ... are you also "hungry for salt"? As someone mentioned, you might be low on essential ions as well.

When you drink beer, eat something salty to it (beer may cause sodium to get exchanged by potassium), and drink at least the same amount of water as you had beer. (hint for anyone for minimising hangovers)

Reminds me of a woman i know. ~~She~~ That woman could totally have written this. Basically, our conversation after months is still me trying to learn ~~her~~ that womans language. :-D

Besides all the very interesting comments and links here about the violent history of the area, here's an answer from one Israeli guy I once asked a similar question. His take was that it is basically a mafiose environment now ... "both sides are corrupt to their core" -- the religiosity of the people would be abused by profiteers.
