Is A Thousand Plateaus by Deleuze and Guattari literary?

I refuse to believe that there is any way a passage like this can be unpacked without basically saying a lot of it is meaningless noise. Where the fuck are the secondary books that explain the purpose of this fucking nonsense.

Why do philosocucks always describe the simplest things in the most obscure, long-winded ways? Is this insecurity?
You read a scientific paper, and everyone speaks in plain, human language, and these people actually discuss highly intellectual matters. Fuck, scientists even invented math so they could talk to each other through the barriers of language and roundabout pretensions.

I'm not a dumb guy, I have a decent IQ, go to a decent university, but this is completely incomprehensible to me. Meaningless words on a page.

analytic philosophy is even more technical

D&G requires quite an extensive pre-existing knowledge of continental philosophy to make sense of, but the question of one or several wolves is actually one of the more coherent ideas from ATP: It provides a model for the unconscious as a mass that is constituted by multiplicities, rather than the singular unity frequently taken as a given.

The wolf pack is an example of how peripheral figures are able to traverse the centre, and vice versa. The differences between individual elements are constantly at play and can move independently of one another (while still retaining a compounded identity), suggesting not an organisation of form but rather the vectors of intensity that characterise formlessness, limited only by the neurotic impasse which traps and codifies the flows of desire within an oedipal framework.

Seeing then that Truth consisteth in the right ordering of names in our affirmations, a man that seeketh precise Truth, had need to remember what every name he uses stands for; and to place it accordingly; or els he will find himselfe entangled in words, as a bird in lime-twiggs; the more he struggles, the more belimed. And therefore in Geometry, (which is the onely Science that it hath pleased God hitherto to bestow on mankind,) men begin at settling the significations of their words; which settling of significations, they call Definitions; and place them in the beginning of their reckoning.

tl;dr functions of, say, a wolf is implicated in the characteristics of intensities and speeds, which is considered 'absolute' in Deleuzean philosophy (in forms of multiplicity and becoming-x). this is to say that representation of a "wolf" is diminished from any anthropomorphic concept, instead being similar to a thing, or something that is not included in the 'human'. In this sense, the event and process of things like the mouth, the anus, the wolf, etc. are brought about in the Similar, and are hence implied to the multiplicity of their existence.
(I've only read Anti-Oedipus and short fragments of A Thousand Plateaus, so I am no expert)

How do you guys feel about the concept of practicing buddhism to come closer to the experience of a body without organs? I'm thinking more of the sense of practicing as a layperson; you won't be able to disentangle yourself from the machines the support you, but I feel like learning to detach from the ideal of a machine while retaining the effect of interacting with it could lead to greater and more frequent states of intensity
