Language is a parasite

I think the denizens of this site are much more adept at language / appreciate it as a tool much more than the average.

That said, the presenter in this vid makes the case that the language itself changes our thinking and therefore behavior. Maybe not so controversial on it’s face but the idea it’s a parasite could take the mind to some interesting (who’s controlling us) directions.

Syntax, sentence structure and word definitions are all parts of communication. Cultures may use different sounding words to describe or name things however that doesn’t change the concrete object or idea. The mind automatically strives to assign a name to an object or idea to establish coherency. What follows and the interpretation is up to the knower. I don’t agree it’s a parasitic relationship.
