My Take

C. George Boeree is the kind of figure I find quietly fascinating. Born in 1952 in Badhoevedorp, North Holland, he became an American psychologist at Shippensburg University, specializing in personality theory and the history of psychology before his death in 2021. But the detail that wins me over is that he also invented Lingua Franca Nova, a constructed international language. To me, a scholar who spends a career mapping the human mind and then sits down to design a language from scratch is chasing the same question from two directions: how people understand and connect. That's a beautifully coherent intellectual life.
