It’s rarely this nasty, but free vs. expensive is a struggle that plays out continuously against all forms of media and entertainment. Neither side has the upper hand forever, even if it sometimes seems it might.

“The more information is free, the more opportunities for it to be collected, refined, packaged and made expensive,” said Stewart Brand, the technology visionary who first developed the formulation. “The more it is expensive, the more workarounds to make it free. It’s a paradox. Each side makes the other true.”

Check it out, I implore you, it’ll scratch a certain nerdy itch 😝 (and if you can purchase something, it’ll help keep information freely accessible!!)

The Global Language: Esperanto

Is it possible for man to ever have a universal language? no, not really, people are too stubborn for that. However, that presents a question about what a universal language would be like.

Origin

In 1887, the ophthalmologist (which is like an eye doctor), Ludwig Lejzer Zamenhof, created one of the earliest planned languages, Esperanto. The term 'planned language' referring to a language by a single person to be suitable for human communication, so another word for a conlang.

Esperanto is an international auxiliary language (IAL) which means that it was made to provide easy, fast, and/or improved communication for everyone in the world (or a vast majority of the world's population) normally without replacing other languages

Esperanto is the most popular IAL ever invented with some of the highest predictions being two million speakers (that's a 2 with six 0s or 0.025% of the global population). It is also the only conlang that has native speakers, having roughly 1000.

It even has it's own committee of 45 members called The Akademio de Esperanto (AdE), which was proposed by L.L. Zamenhof in Boulogne-sur-Mer at the first World Esperanto Congress. The AdE exists to make sure the evolution of Esperanto is consistent with the Fundamento de Esperanto in alignment with the Declaration of Boulogne.

Writen and ratified in 1905, The Declaration on the Essence of Esperantism (Deklaracio pri la esenco de Esperantism), aka the Declaration of Boulogne (Bulonja Deklaracio), consists of an introduction and five points. The introduction states that the 5 points are important because many people misunderstand the nature of the Esperanto movement. The 5 points includes the following statements (paraphrased):

Esperantism is the endeavour to spread across the entire world the use of a neutral, human language. It is intended to give people the ability to understand eachother regardless of native language

Esperanto is the more realistic IAL and that it must be worked on for the aim of an international language

Esperanto is no one's property and it may be used for any reason

Only the Fundamento de Esperanto has authority over Esperanto, No other single entity, including Zamenhof, has authority over it. If a linguistic matter isn't covered in the Fundamento it is up to the individual how they'd resolve the matter

An Esperantist is a fluent Esperanto speaker. Involvement with the Esperanto community is recommended but not necessary

Language

There are 28 letters in the Esperanto alphabet. From the Latin alphabet it is missing: Q, W, X, and Y. But instead includes variants of the letters C, G, H, J, and S with a circumflex and a u with a breve (which is only used in Esperanto, the 20th Century Belarusian Latin alphabet and formally in the Romanian alphabet). Esperanto has between 5 and 11 vowels: 5 monophthongs (a pure vowels sound with little to no change in articulation from beginning and end) (/a/, /e/, /i/, /o/, /u/) and up to 6 diphthongs (a combination of two adjacent vowels within the same syllable, also known as a gliding vowels) (/ai̯/, /oi̯/, /ui̯/, /ei̯/ and /au̯/, /eu̯/).

Esperanto is primarily formed by stringing together roots, grammatical endings, prefixes and suffixs. Compound words are formed the same as they are formed in English modifier-first head-final (for example birdsong and songbird. Where birdsong is about the song made by birds yet a songbird is the bird that makes the song).

Lingvo Internacia, published by Zamenhof in 1887, contains 900 roots which can be made into thousands of words using compound forms prefixes and suffixs. Later in 1894, Zamenhof released the first Esperanto dictionary, Universala Vortaro, which had even more roots and along with this the rules of the language allow speakers to borrow new roots from other languages where needed, however it is recommended that speakers try to use the most international form.

Words in Esperanto are often calqued meaning that their meanings are coopted from other languages. An example of this is 'muso' (mouse) which came to also mean computer mouse as it has done in many languages (e.g. English mouse, French souris, and Spanish ratón)

Controversy and Criticism

Language-Neutrality Esperanto is very Eurocentric since its primary based on Romance, Germanic, and Slavic Languages. People argue that a true neutral language would include origin from a wider range of languages

Gender-neutrality Esperanto like many of the languages it was based on includes gendered nouns but not in the way French does with Le, La, or Les but instead with the way English does with words with -ess like waiter/waitress or baron/baroness. In Esperanto its a cass of -o or -ino for example patro 'father' or patrino 'mother' and doktoro 'male or otherwise unspecified PhD doctor' or doktorino 'a female PhD doctor.

Grammar Esperanto involves things like grammatical case and adjectival agreement which is just not something everybody uses for example in English you don't normally need to think about what you need to put on an adjective to make it agree with the noun whilst in languages like Spanish, whether you put an -a on the end of trabajador can change who you are talking about.

Alphabet Esperanto uses two diacritics/accents: the circumflex and the breve. This is because the alphabet was invented with the French typewriter in mind however in modern days even though computers support unicode it can be difficult to enter letters with diacritic marks.

These two kids are Hamza (the oldest) and Qusai (the youngest).

Their mother shares this video and bids them goodbye. They were both killed by Israeli bombardment 5 days ago. She says:

[Two days before Hamza and Qusai were killed, hamza asked me: "mom, when we die, where will I go?" And I told him: "you will be a bird in heaven, my love." He said: "and Qusai?" "Just like you inshallah."

And indeed, two days later, he left and took his brother with him. It's like he was preparing me for saying goodbye to both of them. Heaven is more beautiful than any place on this Earth, habibi. We will meet and be reunited one day, me, your dad and you two].

Our kids don't deserve to die already thinking about what will happen to them, they don't deserve to die already terrified, anticipating their death because the world failed them and decided their lives mean nothing. We are not numbers. Remember their names and their stories.

It's still surprising to see people say that when they see the upcoming strike post I made that this is the first time they're hearing about it, especially because I've seen several posts now talking about the same strike.

That being said: regardless of what kind of blog you are, please spread the news about the genocide, the strikes, boycotts, etc.

Even if you are a small blog, spreading word allows for more people to know what's going on and also do their part in protests and strikes, and maybe even the right people will be able to do more than what you're able to do.

And reminder: there is an upcoming strike on February 18th-25th. Prepare accordingly, protest, boycott, call your reps, and spread the word so more people are aware.

#ceasefire now #free palestine #palestine #it still stuns me because i can count maybe 3 different posts myself included that has all the information about the strikes #and just this morning someone rb mine saying this is the first time theyre hearing of it #do you see why its important to keep talking?#i'm not going to apologize for suddenly posting this midway through clearing my likes. it's important #free gaza #gaza #congo #free congo

Fun Fact if you've ever wondered what the difference is between a sign and a symptom:

Signs are objective evidence of a disease that can be perceived by people other than the person with the disease (i.e. rash, swelling, rapid heartbeat, etc).

Symptoms are subjective evidence of disease that only the person with the disease can perceive (i.e. pain, itching).
