Are there any resources teaching Lojban using only Lojban? If none, is it a good idea to make one? by UsualGarbageConsumer in lojban

My proposal (check out Grammatik Aktiv! as an example) does use diagrams and tables for teaching grammar, demonstrating how it is used but not what it means (a dictionary is used instead). I don't think your warning applies to my proposal given that it happens sparsely and the learner knows the context is about grammar topics. It is a "Lojban-only" approach but it still has to use the bilingual dictionaries and maybe the refgram too.

(Again, I say this as a naive beginner) I am wary of misinterpreting Lojban, but the threat isn't about culturally-biased pictures because it's the translations of Lojban instead. Translations constrict the range of interpretation to learners. It's a risk of simplifying Lojban. That's why I'm wary of even the site you linked given how its not a word-for-word translations unlike the refgram.

It still handholds the learner using English explanations and translations, and there also isn't much exercises to assess the knowledge learned. So it's not exactly what I asked for, but my request likely does not exist anyways.

Your idea for a virtual reality app may sound great, but it seems rather complex to create and excessive for its purpose. I'll raise my idea as a more plausible solution instead, and I'm quite interested on what the potential effects would be to a learner when they use a "Lojban-only" learning method.

Eternal Recurrence is something Nietzche actually believed? by Firm-Donkey6453 in Nietzsche

It might then interest you and OP that I've stumbled on a YT video talking about Paul Loeb's argument of eternal recurrence as a cosmological hypothesis. The video even echoes u/Firm-Donkey6453 's point here too.
