       I was just thinking about how someone might think without language and it made me realise how much language shapes the way we think, it could restrict or assist in the way we think. (I think this is a thing in 1984). It seems important to not place rules on language, because that could place rules on our thought.

       @RotundCat In one of @neauoire's talks, he gave those sorts of reasons as justifications for his conlang work. For example, he said that if removing words destroys the kinds of thoughts we can think, the presumably the reverse is true: that creating new words (or even new languages) gives us tools for thinking new thoughts.
