in a larger sense, the problem is finding a way to obtain the benefits
of abstraction/reification without paying too high a price; and, blindly
getting rid of abstractions/reifications *would* be too high a price.
without reifications such as governments, corporations, deeds of land
ownership, relationships such as marriage, etc. we would be living a
stone age existence.
I think you got it backwards, Joe. Thingification (reification) is a
primitive mode
of a reality principle that contraverts the ability to abstract and concept
formation.
