Yeah, Esperanto and Lojban aren't spoken very much because you would have to be a huge fucking nerd to speak a language that someone just made up because they were dissatisfied with current languages. :(

Good luck making countries give up their own language.

Language is not at all the only thing keeping us apart. There are huge cultural differences between us.

Also, aside from the US (you hipsters) pretty much everyone uses the metric system.



Seriously lol'd. What on earth makes you think humans are rational?


Cultural differences is what sets us apart. I clearly stated my point.

Way to murder 3 words out of a whole sentence for ur own amusement. Irony at its best if u ask me.

I dont believe the purpose of them is to improve established languages or w/e but rather solve this barrier language we have set, its just inconceivable in my eyes that we are such an advanced and rapidly evolving society and yet, we still cant come to an agreement.

that we humans as a race cant find a way to communicate still?
We set up our own cultural barriers and isolate ourselves from the rest. Would it not be ok for us to find an universal language? And why has it not been done, does it not make sense or is it unnecessary?
With todays technology language its the only thing keeping us apart


false premise.



...Many other things have to be addressed before language is even a consideration.

I may have misunderstood, but I thought you meant language was the only thing because of the "language its the only thing keeping us apart" thing.

Would have been just as amusing if I'd included the entire sentence, since it all relied on humans being rational. Which, considering how much we constantly fuck up, is quite an amusing idea imo.

would be doable if the population would be 5 times smaller imo

majority of the population is quite ignorant to say the least
