English is the current global language, but have we become more powerful because of it? And in what way do you define power?
A person who speaks English as a first language, can learn to speak Japanese, but will never have the thought patterns of someone who speaks Japanese as a first language and visa versa.
IOW, language contains a thought pattern which Is not naturally duplicated when learning another language. The power that is implicated comes from common thought patterns, which can not be achieved after Babel.
“...language contains a thought pattern...”
Cultures, of course, also do, and the goal of mass immigration into Western countries is to disrupt, for all time, those thought patterns.
That's what makes Reverse Speech so intriguing, often the reverse is in a foreign language unknown to the speaker.
Ah, an explanation for the inscrutable Oriental mind.
(And why they drive the way they do...)
Can you provide proof of that?
