Well, I was thinking more along the lines of perhaps "integral" in mathematics.
Most of us who learn lojban are hardcore nerds.

So? I haven't noticed that your language using is any different from that of most English speakers.

The gismu are baselined and frozen.  That means NO CHANGES.

I don't care about lions, or Christians (although it's quite
fun when they meet). I care about integrals, photons, computers, derivatives,
complex numbers, robots, transhumanism, and that sort of thing.

Of those, only "computer" has any significant use in word building ... and it has a gismu.

You may care about those things, but you don't have anything to say about them that would have justified adding a gismu at the time we were still considering such things. To the extent most people use those words, they do so as jargon.

I don't want cultural neutrality.

Then you don't want Lojban.
