at first, I was like, what are these, like a foreign language.?!?
But after I watched this movie, I was like, OMG, did we just be scammed from the start?
Yes, I was also very intrigued by what is explained there.
I read that blog twice because my mind didn't snapped very well to all that "language".
Fascinating stuff.

Language is a powerful tool; it trains people unconsciously, and it's generally harder to fool those who speak more than one language; but I'm not saying the Bilinguals are smarter, but it is more accessible for them to gain new information and verify things.

Indeed. Also those who speak more than one have access to its own culture too, kind of automatically. So another strong point in interacting with more people.
I speak fluently 4 languages and understand other 2. My daughter speak fluently 6 and I am freaked out sometimes.
I always think to languages like doors. More keys to these doors you have, more worlds you can open.

agree.! I like to verify things with this tool; if xx people used to do something this way, then xx people also do it the same way, which means maybe that is something I should try.
I see different cultures or people as joint explorers, then I learn what is working and avoid what is clearly not working.
Your daughter is cool.
