So inventing languages is a good thing, as a research topic into how natural languages work (with plenty of provisos, of course).
And, as a human nature hack, marketing them as tools for world-peace, etc. makes them much more likely to be adopted by idealistic humans who may have the motivation to actually test them for a few decades...

That might be your opinion, I don't think it's a useful research project. Are you aware of any insights into natural language that have been arrived at via artificial languages?
And, as a human nature hack, marketing them as tools for world-peace, etc. makes them much more likely to be adopted by idealistic humans who may have the motivation to actually test them for a few decades...
That seems very cynical. Why do you think artificial languages are so important that misleading marketing is justified?
