“Carbon Tunnel Syndrome" describes the phenomenon whereby there is an overemphasis - or exclusive emphasis - on climate change, particularly carbon reduction, to the exclusion of other important sustainability issues, such as human rights, social sustainability, and equity considerations. This term conveys that the narrow focus on carbon-related aspects of sustainability may result in a "tunnel vision" effect, where other equally critical sustainability dimensions are overlooked or marginalised, potentially leading to unintended consequences or incomplete sustainability efforts.
While the focus on carbon reduction is undoubtedly critical in addressing climate change, the term "Carbon Tunnel Syndrome" communicates that an excessive or exclusive emphasis on this aspect of sustainability may result in unintended consequences. One potential implication of "Carbon Tunnel Syndrome" is that other important sustainability issues, such as social justice, human rights, labour rights, and equity considerations, may be overlooked or marginalised in sustainability efforts.

Glass House Syndrome explains the current state of cancel culture in society today. People point the finger at anyone with notoriety who they perceive has committed an unforgivable action, even though they themselves are usually more than guilty of the same thing in their own lives.
"That celebrity should be cancelled for being caught on camera saying mean things to their spouse in an argument" because of Glass House Syndrome!

An individual’s tendency to excessively and needlessly purchase overpriced alcohol when inebriated in a social setting and in a fashion that resembles the stereotypical behavior frequently associated with oligarchs.
“Why did George order another bottle of Cristal? The club is closing and they turned the lights up- everyone is leaving.”
“George acts like a drunk oligarch when he drinks too much. It’s called drunk oligarch syndrome.”

Deranged Grindr Syndrome (or DGS) is a psychiatric condition affecting an unknown number of gay men who use Grindr for sexual purposes. People with DGS may exhibit a wide variety of antisocial or psychotic symptoms including:
- Ghost-facing: Attempting to engage in chat with other users without having any pics of themselves
- Hole-bombing: Sending unsolicited images of their gaping holes to complete strangers
- Pic-collecting: Requesting images from other people when they haven’t shared any pics of themselves
- Wounded ego: Impaired ability to cope with rejection, such as demanding an explanation for why a complete stranger is not attracted to them
- Silent treatment: Engaging in extensive chat with another user and indicating an interest in meeting up for sex, and then going silent and never responding again
- Ghost-meeting (different from ghost-facing): making an actual plan with someone from the app to meet in person, exchanging location details and setting a specific time, and then ghosting the person with no warning or explanation
- Stalking: tracking another user’s online presence and bombarding them with messages each time they come online
If you or someone you love suffers from DGS, help is available. Speak to a mental health professional.

Deranged Grindr Syndrome is like when some rando with no face pic hole-bombs you with 15 photos of their gaping anus and then demands that you unlock your private album.
