I continue to investigate the Hebrew, Yiddish, and Judeo-Spanish scripts. Concurrently, I opine that Esperanto may be a Jewish language, as a Jew Dr. Zamenhof created it.

Sci-fi in Other Languages
I fantasize of being able to peruse sci-fi in languages such as Mandarin, German, Russian, Finnish, Swedish, and Korean. My acquaintances with these languages are more than most people's, although still minimal in my perspective.
Japanese
I perceive Japanese as extremely intelligent and creative, but a multitude of them are addicts of caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol, reminding me of the plight of Native Indians in North America.
Maraming Alam
Maraming alam ang kaibigan kong Intsik na si Michael tungkol sa mga Arabo, Perso, Indiyano, Turkiko, Monggol, at Latino. Sari-sari ang usapan naming dalawa. Sa akin, mukha si Michael na Meksikano, pero Intsik siya. Para siyang yaong kaibigan kong marunong ding si Adil na Kazakh. Mukhang Hapon si Adil.
Di Kanluranin
Dahil ng kolonisasyon ng mga Britaniko, ang Indiya ay parang malaking-malaking Hong Kong. Pero nga, maraming Indiyano ay hindi nagiging Kanluranin, dahil baka higit nang 30% ay di makasulat at makabasa ng Hindi o Ingles o iba pa. Pagkatapos na binalik sa Tsina ang Hong Kong ng mga Britaniko noong 1997, maraming Kantones ay nag-aaral na ng Mandarin at ang Ingles ay nababawasan ng importansiya.

Other Biology
The biology on this globe is carbon-based. Some have speculated that there could be silicon-based forms of biology elsewhere in this universe. There yet could be plasma-based biology. There could be incorporeal biology. There could be other probabilities.
Jewishness
I have been vaguely learning the Hebrew, Yiddish, and Judeo-Spanish scripts, but I reflect that Esperanto may be a Jewish language because a Jew Dr. Zamenhof invented it.
Occidental Religion
Christianity affects most of this globe as even Arab countries must use the occidental calendar for international negotiations and Japanese moderately celebrate Halloween and Christmas.
Different English
When my Sinospheric amic Michael and I intercommunicate at the café, we use a modified type of English.

Indiya
Miski na Hindu, Muslim, o Sikh man ang Indiyano, parang may impluwensiya sila ng Protestanteng galing sa mga Britaniko.
East Indian Prudery
Protestant prudery may still affect East Indians due to earlier British colonization.
Sinistral and Dextral Brains
Japanese may be different from other ethnicities due to more use of the dextral brain. The sinistral brain predominates occidental vicissitudes.
Brian
My tendency is to characterize much of this universe as a very vast desert with rare biology. Meanwhile, my amic Bratislav "Brian" Tepsa opines that forms of biology are ubiquitous throughout this universe. I remain receptive.
Religiology
Religiology is the surveying and investigating of religions. There exist multitudinous variations of religions globally. If one is really a spiritual quester, one studies various religions, not just one.

Michael
I have amicable relations with a Sinospheric person, Michael. He favours Latino music videos. He has fluency in Cantonese and Mandarin. He sojourned in Mexico for a long duration. He acquaints himself with some Spanish.
Unvast Mundiality
This mundiality is really unvast compared to the enormity of the universe. Feminine persons should adjust their mental viewpoint accordingly.
Animisms
Shintō and Dào are Animisms, with ideas tending towards panpsychism or pantheism, respectively the mind-like aspect or the god-like aspect, at some level, in everything.
Animism
In Animism, there is credence in ubiquitous spirit entities pervading the totality of Nature.
Impersonal Deity
The Deity could be the universe itself, a concept labelled as pantheism, or it could be the universe and beyond it, a concept labelled as panentheism.
Desire
Some Buddhists claim the origination of discontent from the desire of pleasure, the desire of transformation, and the desire of nihilation. Buddhists have credence in moderation.
Imagination
Multitudinous intellectuals agree that imagination is more important than intelligence. Creativity originates from imagination.
Nexus
My locality is a nexus for occidental and oriental interplay, which is abundant in emotional undulations.
Emotional Dissolution
A difficult objective of Buddhistic philosophy is to liberate oneself from the undulations of emotions, which Buddhists perceive are primitive. An advanced entity liberates himself or herself from this imprisonment.
One notes that Star Trek has incorporated such concepts in the fictional race of Vulcans.
Deity
I opine that the Deity Proper liberates itself from emotions. There may exist more advanced entities with emotions as humans possess, but depending on terminology, one could classify them as deities or not. But, they are not the Deity Proper, which is unhumanlike.
Omnipredicativity
I possess the tendency to desire the omnipredicativity in an artificial language. The absence of it relegates a language to virtual necrosis.

Dated Sci-fi
Watching old sci-fi shows and reading old sci-fi books, I notice that the current date has bypassed the "futuristic" dates in the stories. They're still worth reading and watching. Do kids still read 1984 in school?
