It reminds me of that pg essay - the more bogus the liberal arts the more bullshit is used to obscure and complicate meaning.

It was specifically about writing, but the attempt to over complicate still applies imo.

“And then of course there are cases where writers don't want to make it easy to understand what they're saying—in corporate announcements of bad news, for example, or at the more bogus end of the humanities. But for nearly everyone else, spoken language is better.”
