I am utterly convinced I will be the first human in history to fluently speak this language.

Good luck i suppose.
I would skip trying to learn the script though, that's just a hat on a hat the meat of ithkuil is the sapier-worf hypothesis testing density of the language.

I'm convinced that to create a conlang that would be a root language (a language that could have a mapping to all other languages) you'd only need infinitives for nouns adjectives verbs subjects and grammar with the grammar infinitive being a lisp. I'm interested in the art aspect, but this is to complicated to use.

Also the entire subtext of the translations of the language are "I set the woman's hair on fire because she looked me in the eyes after I shot her dog". Which is incredibly fucked up.

Artificial languages are a waste of time. The purpose of languages is to communicate and to gain information from other people. A language with no speakers is useless. The general idea behind "Ithkuil" is infantile. When I was 10 years old I had a similar idea of creating my own language with a grammar encoding all possible philosophical and linguistic categorizations. I quickly figured out why this is a pointless endeavor though. And you should be able to figure it out, too. Btw, if you want to think and express yourself more philosophically "rigorously" you can already do that in almost every natural language.

Sapir-Whorf is bullshit and only ever cited by trannies who want to make a case for their pronouns. Whorf has been exposed as a fraudulent scammer.
