    1. Yes, language is an integral part of culture and identity. Losing it a loss of that culture and a homogenization of humanity. Ask any indigenous person how they feel about this.

    2. These barriers are more political than linguistic.

    3. Whose version?

    4. Such as?

      1. I dont have personally anything against homogenization of humanity, and besides these identities are completely arbitrary, what does it matter what sort of identity one has?

      2. The fact that i for example cant understand more than a majority of people in the world is purely a lingustic problem though fixing it would be political

      3. I presume there wouldnt be anyone's version, rather it would be a joint project by all the nations in the world

      4. For example right now i could understand only ~11% of human population i would say it would be much better if everyone could understand 100% of human population

          I dont know, i wouldnt mind losing my national identity, though thats just my opinion, besides my idea of a universal language presumes that all the nations agreed to it so im not advocating for anything forceful

              Even if its not simple scenario i would say the benefits are worthwhile

                  Yeah i dont think that its some pressing concern but rather a project that could be undertaken far into a socialist future
