is toki pona good or bad

30% if communication is going to be an inherently flawed difficult puzzle with no right answer, it might as well be a fun inherently flawed difficult puzzle with no right answer
70% i find the difference between food and cuisine fascinating actually and love to pepper my speech with such minor semantic variations that nevertheless carry profound cultural impact

is toki pona good or bad

66% learning new languages fundamentally changes how your brain operates in beneficial ways, and having a tiny, easily learnable language people can pick up in a short amount of time is a net good for the world and for the people who partake in it
33% the value of languages comes from their history, culture, and embedded context and a minimal language like toki pona is too small to encode these features and misleads people on what language learning is actually about
