Broke Blindness

concept blindness

Concept blindness refers to the inability to perceive or understand certain ideas, concepts, or realities, often due to a lack of necessary knowledge or vocabulary to describe them. This term can be applied in various contexts, including social and cultural understanding.

In the context of social and cultural issues, concept blindness can manifest as an inability to recognize or address systemic problems such as racism or environmental destruction. This occurs when individuals lack the concepts and language to describe and understand these issues, leading to ignorance or misunderstanding of their existence and impact.

Broccoli blindness

When you are unable to indentify your teenager in a crowd of his friends due to the broccoli like haircut that all teenage boys currently have.

I was at the track meet and totally missed Tanner running. There were like 20 boys out there. It must have been a case of total broccoli blindness.

Hollywood Blindness

A fairly common phenomenon associated with actors playing characters way younger than their actual age. As a result, many in society have become unable to recognize young adults by appearance.

Hollywood blindness occurs when a thirty or twenty year old is assumed to be a teenager, because of the cultural bias that their youthful appearance may be similar to the majority of young adult Hollywood actors being cast as teenagers in movies instead of actual teenagers.

''Tom Holland was cast to play Spider-Man in the Homecoming movie, portraying a 15-year old while he himself was 20 years old at the time, because of hollywood blindness people genuinely think he looks like an actual teenager.''

''I'm not sixteen, I'm twenty-eight! Hollywood really blinded you to how actual young adults look, hasn't it?''

''Grease was notorious for casting adults as teenagers. Now hollywood blindness has invested entire generations with the idea that you don't age up from being a teenager until you're past thirty three.''

Reading Blindness

When there's a term in a text/book you are reading, and you don't know what the term means, nor is it being defined further into the text. You don't understand what the term adds to the context of what you're reading.

"This topic deals with the philosophy of egalitarianism. It plays a great part in..."

You: "Um... reading blindness much? Is this going to explain what egalitarianism is to us or no?"
