Is ‘word salad’ a late stage symptom of frivolity..? Someone in California was asking.

No: the phrase "word salad" can be fitting but is also used as a reason to dismiss substantive writing, while I think a current contender for the first place holder of a "word salad" is the warring wordcraft of this feminist wokeism warrior, as part of the perversion of all that God ordained:
intersections with race, ethnicity, coloniality...has long served as a taxonomizing apparatus. And yet, the literary, in league with anticolonial...movements...animates the liberatory potential of imagining embodied relations otherwise... representations of gender and sexuality can leverage critiques against normativity...Taking our transnational cue from subjugated knowledges and intersectional epistemologies, we’ll constellate the diverging genealogies and methodologies...Against the traffic of binary opposition,we’ll index the possibilities of intimacy and performativity...our aim will be to read and reread as well as write and rewrite texts that interrogate and complicate how gender and sexuality...are embodied and experienced." Prerequisite: ENGL 103 or 104.
