I'm trying to make sure I'm using my terms (and general understanding) correctly.

State Corporatism is a term I'm using to describe a large (multi-national) corporation's relationship to The State via use of campaign contributions, lobbyists, bureaucratic revolving doors within State agencies & executive corporate positions, etc. You can say that I'm describing quasi-Facism with elements of democracy.

You can think of ubiquitous as something that is common practice, and not limited to a certain few individuals---usually wealthy and/or very rich individuals (also those politically connected).

I suppose an example of this could the common usage of petroleum & products derived from petroleum in our personal lives & commercial purposes that have been (largely) the result of oil industry having a large influence in The State.

As far as the PC & PE2K temporary merger, they broke apart after 2007. I don't remember the exact year (and date, for that matter). However, I can say is that the relationship didn't last too long, I believe about a year so after PC was first online.

When you're saying "organics", I'm going to assume you're referring to the aforementioned carbon-based materials, as opposed to silicon (which I will use "non-organics" for an opposing shorthand to "organics")?

To distract a bit more toward terminology, "synthetics" for materials conjured in a lab. I'm introducing the term in order to make a distinction between the natural world ("organics" and "non-organics") & technology created via human hands ("synthetics"). Perhaps you could conflate "non-organics" with "synthetics", assuming one could not make the distinction between materials that are ("organics") & are not ("non-organics") compatible with biology but exist in the natural world nonetheless. Please correct me on this if needed.

That said, do you think State Corporatism is hindering global progress toward more ubiquitous use of "organics", or at least serving as a factor?
