I'd like to hear Dr. Brin's thoughts on this:
http://edge.org/3rd_culture/boroditsky09/boroditsky09_index.html
He touched on the concept in some of the Uplift Novels, where galactic
languages have generally been constructed in a way that eliminates
metaphore. Also I would like to know how it plays into Dr. Brin's 5
Dominate world Meme's theory.
