Fwd: a consideration



People said that they might like to respond to new queries. I am forwarding this one to the list, since I don't have time to respond to it this week, since I'm trying to get backordered books out.

brilliant! simply brilliant! Have the concepts of E prime been imbedded into lojban?

My strong concern is this: I understand that when computers 'think' using memetics the most reasonable language to think in will be lojban. Humans will with to communicate (program) with their computers so learning lojban as a programming language may help promote it worldwide. The concept of the name is pretty arbitrary however (lojban = logical language). I believe strongly that the ENTIRE NAME should have a more internationally marketable concept ... imagine every country learning lojban as both a second language to their own as well as learning lojban to program/communicate better with memetically thinking machines. Good reasons but ... the NAME! If a logical langauge were created for the world it should connotate this far reaching concept.

I believe the language should be WORLD+LANGUAGE (in its lojban translation of course). Of COURSE it is LOGICAL but the PURPOSE is for the WORLD to know it - to bring the world together and to do so through the use of computers as a means to communicate with ALL MEDIA. Other concepts may include EARTH, HUMANITY and ALL.

Again, BRILLIANT WORK and potentially WORLD CHANGING.  I commend you.
