Generic Human Syndrome

A condition in which a person looks familiar to a higher-than-average number of strangers. The person's generic-looking aesthetic may frequently prompt strangers to stop on the street and ask if they have met the person before or for new acquaintances to insist that the person was at a previous engagement with them when they were in fact, not.

"I'm very certain we haven't met before, but I probably look familiar to you because I have Generic Human Syndrome.

genetics

A legitimate science that has been abused by mislead doctors for the benefit of mass society and huge drug companies. Propagated as the utter solution to everything that is wrong with society, when the causes are social. Has been expanded to include 'psychiatric genetics' (or 'behavioral genetics'), a field which attempts to convince the public that our finest behaviors are governed by genes without providing true evidence to support this claim. What 'evidence' that is presented tends to jump to conclusions (correlation =/= causation). It's also used by the general masses to absolve themselves of responsibility for their actions commonly (He did it because he was genetically predisposed to violence!). All in all, controlling for environmental factors is damn near impossible at this time, rendering most of 'behavioral genetics' worthless.

Genetics is a legitimate field, but when it becomes an enforcer of a status quo based on little or no evidence, it is nothing short of an atrocity.
