In a quantum universe, where things act without identity, the priority of verb-based perception over noun-based perception emerges, i.e. looking at the dance, but not the "dancers". Not asking, '"is" that a particle, or a wave?', but rather 'does that particle? does it wave? does it do both?'. Not the lack of obvious paradox in the second set of questions.

Indigenous languages tend towards a verby structure; Western-Indo-European languages tend towards a nouny structure. Both closely follow their own cultural conceptions of logic and reasoning.

Agreed. Writers need to watch out for noun-creep in their prose as much as they need to watch out for be-creep, have-creep and I-creep.

What does the topic really talk about, does it suggest language users should start using descriptive language more, rather than non-descript?
