Why have I not heard more about extropian groups showing interest in lojban? Surely language is the most basic and important optimization. Perhaps they haven't heard of it. I know that pamplets have been handed out at sci-fi conventions, but what about transhumanist ones, such as the one being held in Toronto in August (I believe it is called TransVision 2004)? > I'm not sure that it will really work until there's > at least one family that speaks it at home. > We don't seem to be able to get enough speech > time for a dramatic mental effect; a weekend is > not enough immersion. Perhaps I can help change that. I see no reason why I won't be spending a lot of time and effort into this project in the future. mu'o mi'e .okus.
