By the way, if you happen to run out of space in the hotel, consider buying a village in Spain.
Okay, you will not have an English speaking country, but you can still have an English speaking village… and perhaps you just need a few Spanish-speaking people to interface with the country.
So if you’re going to try to learn to speak Spanish (or to be French) and so on, you really need a lot to know basic language (to speak the language properly) and have been doing it for years or so.
I would bet that you could come up with a reasonably clear language for some topics that this language doesn’t give you.
(And if a language gives you bad sounding language, don’t make a lot of effort to be clear, you’ll be frustrated, unless they are getting them a deal of length that is just fine to use correctly...)
Edit:
Also, I have my own thoughts about the way LessWrong is supposed to work: in general, I don’t know that Kaj Sotala would share these thoughts about writing a rational wiki and having to write stuff up.
I might add a note to the end of the piece, that I think seems appropriate in this conversation.
