The mystical idea that Lojban is discovered rather than invented; Lojban exists independently of Lojbanists, and through using and discussing the language we explore it, glimpsing it and feeling our way around within it in the tenebrous twilight. [[User:xod|xod]] is the principal transcendentalist.

* I think this is closely tied to the [[User:Bob LeChevalier|Bob LeChevalier]] and [[User:James Cooke Brown|JCB]] self-perception that the "little Lo{gl b}anists in their heads" tell them how the language goes, and in a certain way to the archetype of the artist's Muse.  --[[jbocre: John Cowan|jc]]
''Well, I don't consider the founders to be divinely inspired or anything. I do think that the operating assumption of transcendentalism will produce intriguing results, however. It is the Sapir-Whorf way to use Lojban: to put it in our heads and watch how it plays with everything else there. --xod''

Interesting juxtaposition: creativity and Sapir-Whorf.  I don't see them as likely to be connected in any causal sense.  Hopi who speak Spanish or English are every bit as conservative as monolingual Hopi -- possibly more so (in self defense?).  Merely seeing things in a different way doesn't necessarily lead to new expressions or even new actions.  On the other hand, a good imagination locked in a single worldview can create all manner of novelties (and has for roughly 4000 years of records) pc>|8}
