Language is a cognitive exercise practiced daily in culture. A language with loose rules, though adaptive, will bring about a lax society as people become used to complacency in speech and thought. English tries to borrow words and change grammar to fit its needs, showing a passive psychology of accommodation rather than strict logic. Various slang and dialect, including so called "black vernacular english" shows how a lazy style of communication leads to unorganized and simplistic behavior.
The more complex languages, such as Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Hindi, and Russian have strict rules that must be followed to communicate. Each sentence is more representative of a math formula or a logic statement, clearly defining its intent. This gives cultures a greater adaptiveness to mathematics, computer science and engineering, mentally preparing citizens for tasks with complex rules of logic, including electronics and programming. The amount of complexity in each language does not have to make sense for an outsider, but it does need to follow rules. Deviations in spoken vs written language are noted as rules, just as one reads a technical manual to understand any quirks in order to remember them and learn from them.
Japanese is somewhat complex, but can be learned with dedication. Chinese is more complex, with many more characters and tones to memorize. Hebrew is like an impenetrable puzzle, using its own complexity to maintain a set of rules that seem illogical and unreasonable to outsiders, but once learned, these rules become the foundation of its communication.
The Torah, written in Hebrew, has most of its content dedicated to stringent, picky rules that seem unreasonable or unethical, but are justified using a twisted form of logic. Judaism persists for centuries due to its focus on rules, no matter how bizarre or nonsensical they seem to outsiders. This emphasis on rules creates an emphasis on behavior, one of logic through justification, where normal logic will not suffice. Compare to Scientology and LDS culture, where language influences thought through regular indoctrination sessions, with church leaders claiming to be rational, reasonable, and logical. The activities of Jews in Israel and America is based on this inner mode of taught logic. Any unethical practices are based on a psychology of logic that circumvents reason, allowing Jews to act according to their own psychology in spite of others, much like a computer virus.
