That's wrong. Lisp is for those who want to reprogram the language to enhance the brain. If you feel uncomfortable with that mode, then Lisp is not for you.
I don't know if I would go so far as to say the poster is wrong for feeling that way, but you are correct, Lisp is fundamentally different, and one should really only embark on learning it, if they want to learn how to do something fundamentally different. If one has the mindset of "why should I change" then they are probably going to miss the profound ah-ha many of us got when leaning a Lisp. They are not wrong for feeling that way, but a Lisp is definitely a bad choice for them and will only frustrate them.

I think I've at least had some sort of "aha" from learning Lisp; it just doesn't necessarily translate into something that's worth the extra investment of using Lisp for the practical programming projects I've encountered thus far. (To be fair, part of that is the relative paucity of good libraries for Lisp implementations, compared to, for example, Python, with its "batteries included" philosophy.) But even when I'm using, say, Python, I am still able to make use of the "aha" in some ways.
