youtu.be/CmZdGo6b5yA?... I have lots of points to make about this post (not hating, but as a toki pona speaker I do have lots of criticisms about the points your making) but to start I’m just going to leave this here for now

@adityarao310 There’s a lot of debate on Sapir Whorf though. Tom Scott has a nice video on the topic. The idea of Sapir Whorf sounds so cool though. I learned about it first from Arrival (the movie) - the movie literally centers around this idea. https://t.co/LBOKnqGKh2

There is an argument that the language one speaks influences their thinking and subconsciously plants narratives, however I personally don't believe in this, as it has been disproven countless times. Here's a video by Tom Scott on this topic, for example: https://t.co/IFrhesl9tI

@CartonCalderon Ignorance is not bound to language, but it is in fact a that many information is made or translated to English, in the scientific community is easier to release a document and to make it reachable. The video talks about another theory about language. https://t.co/Wn5lKztTcR

I’m usually a fan of Tom Scott, but here he misses the point. Speaking different languages feels quite different. A study on languages won’t encapsulate the experience of multilingualism. And a comment from a monolingual won’t convince me otherwise. https://t.co/tHIVKdRuGA

The video conflates the idea by, ironically, being limited to English conceptualisation via language. The Orwellian concept is "think", not "feel". Those in 1984 can *feel* those feelings, but cannot *think* them, without language. https://t.co/WiThVGVxAa

@Hebezguo @SangBina @leraboroditsky The study "Does Language Shape Thought?: Mandarin and English Speakers' Conceptions of Time" conducted by Lera Boroditsky, the lecturer in this TED talk, discuss the way different language speakers describe time. The use of "上"(up) and "下"(down) is especially intersting.
