Afterthought:

If someone feels like accusing me of 'capitalizing' upon my father's relationship to Bruce Lee, then I'd start a rebuttal by suggesting you read the above post very carefully.

Then, ignoring the official line, find every possible reason why Toki Pona was intended to contain only 120 words, 'no more, no less.'
Find all the implications of that third of a perfect circle. Then all implications of a third. Then consider the number 120 standing alone, then keep thinking of more.
Then consider why I shared with you the ideas within the post above, and why I might share about anything.

Edited to add:
I just realized that a few links in the post above went bad seemingly overnight.
FYI I normally include the titles so people can search and find the article using your fav engine.
(Highlight, right click, search, fast and easy)

The Wikipedia links stayed rock solid functional, and a few others did too. Only a couple links went bad.

Maybe this is one reason why Broetry does not include links. No joke.
PICNIC = Problem In Computer Not In Chair.

I fixed every broken link today. Feel free to DM me if you find a broken link in my blog.
I just checked a lot of posts and all the links have been good, i.e. California LA Fire 2025.

Most of what a person encounters in life is either BS, a trick or the opposite of what it seems.
Or somewhere along a spectrum of deception.

If you want an interesting detour, learn the history of lawyer's standard contingency fee in America (speaking of thirds), and add the history of the legal field's billable hour.

[Disclaimer to both posts on this page, and my entire blog/approach to life: I tend to assume every person is smarter / more experienced than me, in one way or the other.

I don't assume I'm the 'smartest guy in the room.'
I do assume that I'm not always right.

I do have have a hard won education, a lot of various interests (#LifetimeLearner), and I don't own a horse (that's a high horse joke).]

I'll wrap this up with a few related thoughts about GMO Homo sapiens sapiens 2.0.

1) The average age of child soldiers is 13. The age spread is often described as 8 to 18 years old.

2) Professional video game players age out of being truly competitive at around age 20 (that number is from memory, it might be +- a year or two).
It has to do with reduced reflexes / slower reaction times. That's neurological / developmental.
That's peak human performance as defined by video games -- watching screens and fiddling buttons / joysticks.

3) Warfare has rapidly become reliant upon video game like skills, for instance POV Drones.
A trend that is likely to continue, in combination with AI use in the battle field.
I envision use scenarios where a human operator might always be preferred, for instance simple digital security of mission details (nothing typed, nothing uploaded).

4) It would take a minimum of 8 years for a nation to field troops of GMO Human 2.0 child soldiers.
16-18 years if the goal was devastating the enemy in a manner more akin to the traditional battle field.
And these numbers are only specific to Humans 1.0, perhaps they might be different for GMO humans 2.0.
-- It would take exactly 18 years, if adhering to international law (see the irony?).

5) Regarding Ithkull, it's perfectly suited for two voices:

• Homo sapiens sapiens, neuroatypicals / neurodivergent (I prefer the term neuroatypical).
• GMO Homo sapiens sapiens 2.0.
  
• Perhaps AI too, but ignore that for now

The rest are naturally cut off from access to the content.
We can have our native languages, and Toki Pona.

"Age-Appropriate Speech and Language Milestones"
https://www.chop.edu/health-resource...age-milestones
Humans 1.0 learn 100 words by age two, 300 to 500 words by age three to four.

The difference in the two voices that can capitalize upon Ithkull might only be one of degree, and that worries me.
GMO Humans 2.0 might be, just humans.
If it doesn't worry you, research the "demon core," then research Lake Karachay, then consider man's / human's proclivities (they are gender neutral imho, kings and queens, and know no borders -- they are global).

If GMO Humans 2.0 are not humans, then we might really be in trouble. For once there were many sapiens that were a notch 'above' great apes, monkeys and chimpanzees -- now there is one. (mostly one?)

6) There is a whole separate topic, leaving aside the issue of GMO: the potential of gains made by simply using the top 1% of genetic material of Homo sapien sapien 1.0 is massive.
Just look at the farming industry, and also the vanity field of show animals. Regarding humans... Run multiple programs concurrently, each optimized for different characteristics, and within approx 40 to 60 years you have 3 generations of quick change.

edited to add --

I realized that the topic in the articles below greatly affects most of what is posted above.

"World’s first ‘artificial womb facility,’ will let parents design child’s height, strength, intelligence"

"Artificial Womb Trials in Humans Could Start Soon"

# file everything in this post and the ones above under 'reasons I don't care about the piddly stuff.' And all the current, popular zoo / circus distractions are the piddly stuff (aka the comparatively meaningless, emotional driven wedge issues that are dividing society and blinding it).

Here's is a post I made in the member's only area. Since it relates to language, and has implications, I repost it here. There are some possible implications regarding Toki Pona and Ithkull -- and a future intellectual hierarchy by design.

An interesting aside, here's a link from Drudge today.

I did a deep dive into IQ a while back. That article isn't totally right, but they express the overall theme just fine. IQ has seemingly peaked. It has big implications on communication.

Something that might give insight is cursive. Once required and common place, now cursive is a dead language. So much so that there's a rush to try and get old documents 'translated' into 'English.' Absolutely no joke, it's a call to action from the Federal Government / National Archives.

"Can You Read This Cursive Handwriting? The National Archives Wants Your Help"
https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart...elp-180985833/

They make it really easy to volunteer to translate the old cursive documents. Easy log in, no minimum time limit (just 5 or 10 minutes is aok). I've tried to convince several cursive writers to give it a try, no luck so far. I recall taking cursive in elementary school. Required, mandatory. Heck if I could translate it today, much less write it.

Some irony to pull from what's above in this post...

"Do Signatures Have to Be in Cursive?"
https://legalclarity.org/do-signatur...be-in-cursive/

"Does a Signature Have to Be Cursive? Quick Answer"
https://signaturely.com/does-signatu...be-in-cursive/

"Signature Styles: Cursive Not Required Anymore"
https://nodumbquestions.net/educatio...to-be-cursive/
^That last one has really always been true. A signature is defined as intent + mark. But generally, in the real world, a signature IS cursive.

Cursive is dead, long live cursive!

Text is dead, long live text!

I've been posting regularly on the forum since July. The 8-9 months of practice has truly had a transformative effect. It has helped me practice writing and organizing thoughts for writing (and expression in general). YMMV, but I don't think it will -- practice at organizing and expressing thoughts on 'paper' should help anyone. It has been like a regular gym work out, preparing me to write website content about log homes.

I started in July on this thread, and it started rough. Very rough. But trended better over time:
"Skip Ellsworth in new Bruce Lee biography "
https://community.loghomebuilders.or...-Lee-biography IMHO the posts got better as the months passed.

But lead to things like this:
"AI Pendants + AI Copyright + Gibberlink + Ithkull"
https://community.loghomebuilders.or...erlink-Ithkull

And this:
"Red pill / Blue pill = Bull crap social / cultural programming attack"
https://community.loghomebuilders.or...ramming-attack

And this (I just recently checked again, font size was 9):
"Jury Summons: category all, invalid"
https://community.loghomebuilders.or...ry-all-invalid

And if you care about gun rights, check this one out:
"Thomas Paine, Common Sense"
https://community.loghomebuilders.or...e-Common-Sense

Writing and logic go hand in hand, it's thought organization ymmv, it's true for this animal (me). Writing it out adds depth to internalized clarity.

And since in this day and age one must express a position on LGBQT+Trans in order to really do business on the internet, it took me a long time to think the issue all the way through. I had to first develop my theory called the Left Handed Freedom Index. Agree or disagree, love it or hate it, my position has been expressed in one of the links above. #ModernTimes One must explain themselves as a person, before transacting business. One must express their positions.
