"Knowing that you don’t know something is different than knowing what the something is that you don’t know. It might be bullshit, but it’s still there; it doesn’t have to be true to have mass and take up space. “Eskimos have fifty words for snow” is one of those things that people say, a phrase that will go on living in your brain, unused but not thrown away, buried at the bottom of the drawer like a power adaptor to a console you no longer have but will never quite rid yourself of. And when we hit something like this—when we run aground on this point at which all we know is what we don’t—we discover something interesting: just as knowledge has substance, shape, and structure, so does ignorance."

Like in Toki Pona
<ni> 'this/these' opens the sentence ; there is no verb 'to be' ; there is no article
and there is no use of a capital letter - a usage which seems to be limited at Greek, Latin and Cyrillic alphabets, BTW...
It also helped that the word for computer in Thai is an English loan word.
