Everything is the same thing

This opinion article reflects on the growing inability to distinguish concepts and names, exemplified by a child who called a dolphin a "flamingo" and by a supermarket worker who confused ginger with eggplant. The author argues that this "vocabulary and cultural impoverishment" results from the decline in reading and interest, citing Irene Vallejo and Gregorio Luri to defend that reading strengthens language and that school failure is fundamentally a linguistic failure. It concludes that "it's the same thing" represents a closure into ignorance, where even distinct concepts are reduced to vaguely similar categories.
