Given that it's a 'new paradigm' and enhances 'intuition', it's a bit hard to show simple examples which demonstrate that. You'll have to put in the work. Will you be able to understand how to play the guitar if I show you a passage from a song ? You can play it with any other instrument, so it still won't be motivating enough for you to put in the time and effort required to learn it. If I were to take you to a Led Zeppelin concert to see Jimmy Page playing, that still might not be motivation enough for you to pick up the guitar, but you'll be able to better understand what it can do to people :). Back to LISP - it's a tool. The difference between other tools, is that you can program it too. The power lies in its simplicity and your ability to build programs iteratively while running them.
