Okay, but I feel like the same question applies. Why do you assume that you know more about these concepts (in social situations) than others you encounter do.

Okay, but I feel like the same question applies. Why do you assume that you know more about these concepts (in social situations) than others you encounter do. But actually that assumes incompetence, you're actually suggesting malice if you say they are just trying to show off how woke/smart they are. If they are incompetent, why do you assume malice? And why does using the buzzwords suggest incompetence if the language is the same as the academics. How can you know these people aren't well educated on the subject. Remember, your thesis was that you ignore these people outright when they use these buzzwords. But you also admit academics use the same ones.
