["Rostowfske, Luke J" <luke.j.rostowfske@lmco.com>]

Actually what I'm more curious about how can lojban change the way I
think.

I bumped into the wiki for Sapir-Whorf hypothesis and it started me
thinking.  Eventually I stumbled on lojban so I wondered how I might
think if I had a purely logical language to interpret from.

In that light I don't think it's quite so silly.


Respectfully,
Luke

Or, as I suspect, lojban is far beyond their ability to grasp. :)
