Are you Greek or French?   Greek means that you fight to control the
information that is discussed. (Aristotle)    French means that you study
everything but use withering sarcasm to keep control of the argument.
Either way it is about cultural morality and language.    There was nothing
unclear in that article about the point.  You just chose to ignore it.   The
problem of life as process or life as object is what being strangled by
nouns is all about.    Years ago I was struck by what Robert Jarvella the
head of Rockefeller University's psycho-linguistics department said to me
about native languages.    He said that they spoke more accurately of
physical phenomena in fewer words and syllables than English or the run of
the mill European languages.  According to David Peat, David Bohm made the
same point before he died.   The problem of object was one of the problems
both Jarvella and Bohm  listed.   That was in 1974.    Now the Indian people
are pointing this out and the Europeans are still arguing.    Read your own
scholars.  They have noted this for at least forty years. It's not new.  But
it sure as hell is unpopular.

You mean drug companies?  Well, some are.  But the CEO of Novartis is
an American who was CEO of Heinz Ketchup (junkfood) earlier...
Isn't that practical?  First he made people ill with junkfood and now
he sells them the drugs to treat the illnesses...
