"“Sustainable Green Energy” is technobabble. "
It is something that is supposed to sound vaguely scientific and impressive.Equally content-free are words like “Diversity” and “Sensitivity” (good) and “Discrimination” (ungood) and “McCarthyism” (double ungood) and “Fascist” and Racist (double plus ungood). It is the same as saying, “Flooding the deflector array with tachyon particles via the annular confinement beam will quantize the antimatter reactor in the warp core!” --Political Correctness is the Substance of Darkness PART I | John C. Wright's Journal

Didn't some students at MIT pull a hoax where they submitted a paper filled with meaningless jargon...and it won a prize?

Scott Adams (Dilbert's creator) gave a presentation full of meaningless business-school platitudes to the senior management of Logitech which went unchallenged.

What. A bunch. Of tea-bagging sheeple. My name is Tonya Greipenweiner, and I think I am better qualified to comment on this situation than any of you, try as you might. The problem with Gerald Vandelion and verbally challenged John "Wrongh" and their docile minion followers of the semplisme model of prepostmodern dedeconstructualized textification is this, and why you people can't see this, I will never understand:
You all lack the gravitas of penubrian analysis to internalize the teachings of better writers, like for example, James Wolcott, and Elizabeth Warren who have imparted their visionary wisdom so well that you can all be dismissed as just so many empty headed blow up dolls in a post-coital paradigm. Really, I feel sorry for you all, but clearly, there isn't anyone on these fora who can actually conceptualize critically the absurdist views that I hold so dearly.
