Yogababble
/ˈjəʊɡə ˈbab(ə)l/ (n.)

Spiritualistic virtue signalling. In its way, though, yogababble is less odious than garden-variety virtue-signalling, however punchable the pose indulging in it tend to be.

Yogababble is just straight-out bullshit: it lacks the Passive aggressive sheen of most libtard grandstanding. It is really just a strand of business communication, that satisfied the usual aims of business communication (that is, concealing a want of intellect and masking basic vacuity) by taking a string of fashionable expressions that once belonged to hippies.

The yoyababbler’s real wizardry is her facility for jumbling ideas which, taken alone, are transparent nonsense, but when pressed and kneaded together to form an amorphous kludge which might — just might — be profound.

Crypto and blockchain offer great new vistas for yogababble expansion.

Sample quote from the original yogababbler, Adam Neumann, once of profoundly yogababbly organisation WeWork:

Anybody that wants to be something greater than themselves, that understands that bringing meaning and intention into work and bringing those two things together, is a member of the “we generation”, and the money tends to follow.

And the law suits and, one quietly hopes, jail-time.

Excellent article about yogababble by Scott Galloway, who invented the term, including a Yogababble indexhere.
