The anima mundi resides in the English language and has for some time now. ESLs essentially operate on a lower level of consciousness than EFLs and are unable to truly appreciate the divine fruits that the language bears.

Japanese is a low density information language.

It's like having an operating system in Flash, Java or HTML. Nothing all that great is going to come out of it and it is a very obtuse way of organizing things and takes about 5x the effort than say C#.

The language limitations of Japanese are why no great literature or philosophy have ever emerged from the continent. It is slow, inefficient and a poor means of conveying high IQ abstractions. The reason weebs are drawn to it is because they don't think about much other than hentia and anime. See what Bobby Fischer had to say about Japan.

The only commendable thing about the language is that it executed binaries very well. Immigration = bad for instance.

I’ve seen this graph around and while English is the most efficient, I have doubts that it was always this way. When reading older texts (2+ centuries ago) the density seems to be drawn out and wordier with more fluff.

This might be my dismal education speaking though, but it seems that older texts have more variance in sentence construction, substituting subject for pronouns is so commonplace that subject almost gets lost, while modern English tends toward stricter SVO.
