“Mario Pei, in _One Language for the World_, has a chapter titled something like "The Inefficacy of Movements". He's right to doubt whether something like the Esperanto movement is a suitable vehicle for attaining the goal towards which it aims -- aside from the fact that it generally behaves like six cats dumped into a very small sack, it's also subject to such disruptive phenomena as meme change, since it operates on a multi-generational time scale (Raumism would have been totally unimaginable among Esperantists in 1907, for instance).”
