Perhaps one day  -  in the future,
                    mayhaps even the near-future,
there may be a "mutant" convergence of Chinese (or Chinese-like) logographix
                                & Blissymbolix (or Blissymbolix-like)
logographix.
    That maybe very truly interesting
            (& I do not mean that in a Chinese curse fashion either
                [a Chinese curse: "may you live in interesting times."])

    Imagine highly-charged concepts like "Anarcho-Futurism,"
"Neo-Capitalistic Multi-Culturalism" & "Fascistic Neo-Tribalism" translated
into a logographic language done without:
        *  too much circumoluction or "logographic overloaded-ness"
        * semantic "blurriness"/distortion (or partisan bias).
    That is the challenge... & that is where a Chinese-like metaphoric/poetic
sensibility IMHO may be a good approach.

    okay I have rambled enough...
