You’re just elaborating and expanding on a part of what I said, while being an abrasive jerk, and ignoring everything else that didn’t suit your argument.
To the point in question, I never said academies invent the future of a language, only that they gatekeep the rules, which can include pushback against popular usage (the french academy is notorious for being very against english neologisms).
There have been cases where the changes are very substantial, like the Portuguese and French changes that happened (coincidentally) in 1990, for example, that push the languages in certain directions.
Take a cup of tea and relax a bit, and try not to argue the voices in your head.
Edit: I missed this point, let me address it:
All languages are organic and evolve naturally.
Have you heard of Esperanto, for example, or the concept of auxiliary languages?
What about artistic or fictional languages, like Tolkien’s Elvish or Star Trek’s Klingon or Dothraki or High Valerian from Game of Thrones?
None of them are “organic”, and as for evolving, it really depends but a language like Esperanto, assuming it is regularly used by a community, is very unlikely to differ from it’s textbook definition because it was specifically crafted to avoid the inconsistencies that we’re discussing and that arise from evolution.
