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.

Are any of the big drug Swiss? 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...
