These are two separate (though related) propositions. For the purpose of this thread it would be better to separate them. (You’d probably also get more karma that way :-).)
I understand; that’s why they’re related. But they’re not the same statement; someone could agree with your first statement and disagree with your second. In fact, they could agree that finding better ways of structuring knowledge is really important, and agree that languages are ways of structuring information, but not think it’s a bad thing that languages aren’t being invented faster—e.g., they might hold that outside of computer programming, there are almost always better ways to improve how we structure information than by inventing new languages.

I don’t think they aren’t separate. Languages are ways for structuring information. That might be what’s the most contrarian thought in the post ;)
