Do you believe language is as crucial to sanity as proposed by Korzybski and R.A.W., or as perilous a fall into fascism as proposed by Orwell (i.e. 1984 and ___speak)?

These kind of questions drive me crazy.

So is the issue pre or post-language?

I would see it prelingual, as nobody 'should' get too confused about human words. They're often not worth to be taken seriously.
