This is great! Didn't know Korzbyski (originator of "the map is not the territory" in the 1930s) also opposed the verb to be, but it makes sense. After Neither/Nor and Both/And, I'm planning to write a book called Not To Be against the verb "to be" and its relatives.

Bourland says that "to be" ascribes fixed identities to things, but the essence of things is to change. I'm ANNOYED (with myself) that I didn't bring this up with you before.
I have a book that touches on this that I will bring to FFB tomorrow. The book does reveal some pretty strong arguments against E-Prime. We shall discuss.
