His flights keep being cancelled and he’s reduced to typing posts on his phone, but this is the sort of thing he is able to type on his phone. Look at what Steve Jobs and his crew have made possible:

“Above all, we need to get over this claptrap of thinking objects as static and reified things. Trees grow, bodies grow, my coffee cup continuously changes as it enters into new exo-relations. Where did theorists ever get the odd idea that objects are opposed to processes? Being a unit and being fixed are not synonyms. What a weak and [ridiculous] conception of substance we have. One more effort on behalf of substance, comrades!”

The question isn’t whether process exists and can be accounted for within OOO. The question is whether process is everything. The answer is: no, it’s not. Some processes lead to nothing and register no effects.
