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.
