The city for conlangs

Taxi drivers are people who follow a taxis. The term refers here more usually to insufficiently reflected intuitions or trends than a simple stimulus. These are the concept of a directional stimulus taken to a higher level of complexity (let's call it intellectual taxis).

Following a taxis without reflecting the reasons and the consequences (and then the consequences of the consequences) is unintelligent behaviour and, most usually, leads do some kind of pathological situation. In a way it is like failing the Turing test.

This is the offer of a false dilemma because few people are following an intellectual taxis all the time or never. Resisting a taxis is a skill that you can train, but you will hardly be always successful. (see compatible)

Is there a further insight hidden in this? There are "people" who are very close to unable to resists an (intellectual) taxis, which are most mammals.

One could see this as a further hint that you should be prepared to take the view of a non-human mammals once in a while.
