folkertMon, May 21, 2007 Nice—have heard McKenna refer to the Octopus as well—its exterior being a direct reflection of its "state of mind". Also, a universal language (even to go alongside of existing ones) is a great idea, not sure if you've heard about Esperanto, which was one attempt to do exactly that, to "create an easy and flexible language as a universal second language to foster peace and international understanding." Estimated usage is at between 100,000 and 2 million speakers at the moment—not bad. Perhaps SpaceCollective should take it upon herself to build on that.
