i think that language would help the world evolve much faster if it started over. If a language is present, then people can communicate better to solve problems. Humankind will then change, and technology and the evolution of human thinking will come.

The idea of a common language and common understanding may sound good on the surface, but the truth is that not all people hold common values and beliefs, and if mankind were starting over these differences could lead to conflict if easily understood. Where groups have opposing ideas and goals, dificulty in communicatiing may be a benefit. If you aren't sure what the other person is saying, you aren't sure weather you agree or not, and may not be as ready to start a fight over it.

I definitely agree. One of the best responses.. With language, you hold the key to not just common words, but common thought. That's where I see the ease in re-forming our world.
