[lojban] Lojbanic philosophy

["la_okus" <xeubie@hotmail.com>]

My question is simple; what, if any, are the philosophical 
similarities between lojbanists? You must have some reason for 
joining the project, and that motivation may be part of a deeper 
outlook on life.

Since one of lojban's main goals is to improve thought, I 
assume most lojbanists value innovation and intelligence. 
Lojbanists are frequently correlated with sci-fi buffs and 
computer nerds, and although this is most likely stereotypical, it 
does indicate that some of them value novelty. I am intentionally 
leaving this broad with hopes of narrowing it down through your 
replies. What, besides tongue, do lojbanists have in common?

To kick it off, what do you think about transhumanism? This 
concept is tied in with extropy and the singularity, believing that 
we can and should strive to become better, not just by optimizing 
our language but also our biology and psychology. Lojban 
obviously has its place in these philosophies, but do you 
personally apply this thinking to everything like they do?
