SUMMARY:Language
DESCRIPTION:How does language shape the way we see the world? What ideas
  are we more or less able to access\, hold\, and develop because limitat
 ions of the languages we speak? What is the value — and the limits —
  of having a robust vocabulary\, and developing shared\, nuanced definit
 ions of words? Somewhere around 20% of the world’s population speaks 
 English? How might this expand or constrain the diversity of concepts th
 at can be communicated? As Rowen White has said: “If we are bound by t
 he constraints of language and lexicon\, how is modern culture really go
 ing to shift in the powerful and positive ways it needs to to restore ou
 r collective spiritual power.”\n\nHow can we can communicate ideas tha
 t we haven’t even imagined yet? Can we make up our own words? Should w
 e? And if we do\, how do we do we define and translate them so that we c
 an continue to communicate across differences and with newcomers?
