Klingon Alphasyllabary This script was inspired by research conducted in preparation for the Kopikon Conlang Conference held on September 23rd, 2023. During the development of my presentation on ‘How to make a good script’ I was studying the Ithkuil script made by John Quijada. During this study, I...

Thank you for sharing this; I have read the old document on Moya, but it's been a little while. I have always found Moya to be an interesting script; at first glance, many of the characters seem difficult to tell apart, but when looking at the examples, It took me years too. Thank you, Glenn. There...

Oh, Travis, I don't think anyone would have made that comparison, you're good.

I'm dubious.

keenir wrote: ↑Mon Feb 26, 2024 6:10 am the thanks I get is that rudeness

I sincerely did not intend for my response to be thought of as rude.

My perspective is pretty clear, or at least it should be.

Science, as I understand it, is a set of empirical measurements and/or calculations that are used to explain and/or understand the natural world. Not "a view". I don't see a contradiction there. So, you either don't know what "a view" is, or you aren't sure what "science&qu...

Oh, you don't mean "science science", you mean "view of how the world works and where it came". Gotcha.

Science, as I understand it, is a set of empirical measurements and/or calculations that are used to explain and/or understand the natural world. Not "a view".

"Science" is a much broader term than "religion", don't you think?

Except for one problem: only humans use the internet, abide by the guidelines of communities secular or otherwise, and have written languages...yet you seem to have no problem with civil discussion while typing in a forum, all of which was built on upon the vast knowledge that humans acquired and h...

You got it! Finally. Thank you for listening.

So...gods can't exist, because whether they do or not, there will be a time when humans are no longer around? If that's what you got from what I said, then you should read it more carefully. as SETI used to say, "How do we know dolphins don't have a civilization? Do theirs have to look like ou...

After polishing-up the Omyatloko script, I went back and improved the Moya description. Here is the old one, and the new one.

The best Assyrian scholarship was that the gods spoke by creating malformed animal intestines. That's ridiculous to us, but not because we have better knowledge about what gods do. We just believe they don't do that. Which gods? Which animals? You brought up the religious life of animals. As an abs...

How would we know, on either side? This doesn't seem like a falsifiable proposition. You're right, it's absurd, which is exactly why I used it to demonstrate the lack of substance inherent in religious belief. I don't think we're completely clueless about animal minds, but it's a notoriously tricky...
