I've been a fan of constructed languages, especially Lojban, for a while, though I've never had the time and initiative to learn one. English is packed with mind projection fallacies and similar, and a "rational" language could be an improvement. However, if it was used broadly instead of just to talk to a FAI, it might develop some of the irrationalities common to English.
