Basically figured it out today, finally. I wasn't apying attention

Basically over the last two decades sophistry "won", eg., rhetoric droveout philosophy

you live in a post-sensemakign and pro-signalling world where these idiosyncratic phrases are uttered constantly to signal you are still forming the idea you're trying to communicate with and are cycling the repeat pattern through the verbal cortex

>know what I mean
>see what I man
>like, you know
>I mean
>um
>uh

etc.

The pro-signal milieu is a harbinger of a more lasting decline in literacy worldwide as we head toward the Late 21st century dark age
