Universalism vs relativism.

What makes logical sense?

Language is used to describe the world around us seems very logical to me, it came second for starters.

If you want to go the other way, language shapes the world around us, actual evidence is needed for me.

It is full of "just so stories" which I find troubling. It's a meme that can spread without proper evidence beating a boring "language just describes things".
