*english is the only language that actually matters, it is by far the best language and makes all other languages functionally obsolete
*there is no such thing as "going to the moon", people have not gone to the moon because that's completely impossible
*most people are worthless trash....there are, perhaps, some people who are more valuable, but most people's lives are not worth living
*God is real but most people cannot even comprehend what a piece of shit this God character actually is
*there is absolutely 100% no point at all in living a religious lifestyle
*insects are far more valuable than animals or humans
*nothing you learned in school will ever be applicable in real life
*sex is obviously more "pleasurable" than playing video games, but video games have the potential to expand your mind, which is far more valuable than merely receiving pleasure
*final fantasy is an extremely overrated and frankly terrible video game series

All that other shit you said was stupid but English IS in fact the best language iteratively speaking. Linguistic determinism, baby. If you can convey with high specificity scientific minutiae then your language will enable you to achieve greater scientific depth. Ain't no bong truong Vietnam niggas building a space station

>Linguistic Determinism
Pretty much no linguist accepts this.
Linguistic Relativity is more well accepted, but very very little evidence supports linguistic determinism. Nearly every example, to-date, is better explained by relativity and the Color-Psychology approach to cultures.

Whorf believed if you didn't have a word for something, you couldn't see it.
The refutation to Whorf in the 1950s is more than conclusive. They found that English speakers didn't have a word to represent the different types of snow like Inuits did, where Inuits had 3 separate words for Snow. English speakers were still able, however, to identify and categorize those 3 separate types of snow without assistance, even without a label to give them, instead using whole phrases to discern them: "Hard-Packed" "Soft-Packed." This alone conclusively disproves Linguistic Determinism, because if it was true, we wouldn't expect to see any adaptation. What all of these studies suggest is that Exposure is what arises need, and that's been the long accepted theory of how words and language forms forever. It's the same reason why people in total isolation, without any prior language, will invent a language for communication between others in isolation with them.
If it was determinism, this just simply could not happen.

yeahhh you know what that's all true, but pretending that linguistic determinism is real and having everyone accept it as real would make the world a better place, so fuck you
