Not getting what is the "benefit of hindsight", or having the hindsight bias about absolutely everything, even if it happened for the first time in history.
Not quite on topic. I'm on my 4th year of studying medicine with a specialization in genetic and developmental disorders.
Naturally, we're taught to visually recognize FASD (fetal alcohol), Down's, Phenylketonuria, etc. but also signs of inbreeding or lack of proper motor/physical development in childhood. All this kind of stuff. They all have incredibly specific phenotypes, those individuals always have the same distinct features.
This becomes a real curse. We're in no position to diagnose, but you'll often find yourself walking down the street and seeing those phenotypes. And it's not just 1 trait you'd associate with a diagnosis. It's like their portraits were torn straight out of my medical textbook.
You'll be looking at a cashier. Your eyes are very puffy, are you sick? Why does it look like your smile is stitched onto your face? Your teeth are quite small for your mouth, have you had dental work done? I have never seen anyone slouch like you do, what age did you start walking? Why are you using all 5 fingers to hold a pen? Your ears are huge. I have never seen someone with face creases like yours... Except for in my embryology class. Oh my god, you are one of the rare ~20,000 people with William's Syndrome in America. And you'll never know.
This becomes so much worse with common cases like FASD. You've probably seen that in your highschool textbooks. Kids would get stared at in biology class because they checked the whole list. They still do in university genetics.
I often have to volunteer for summer hours at schools, more often low income neighborhood ones. They obviously house disabled or ill children. But if you just look at the general school population, they all share traits like flat heads - means they had no tummy time as babies, crooked fingers - never were taught how to write right, flat smooth faces - mom drank or smoked. They all wobble weirdly as if they've never done sports as kids, breathe with their mouths open, they hold no tone in their voice and interrupt others - like they don't process others' words before saying theirs. Then they grow up, and remain just like that. Once they're adults, they're kind of stuck like this.
It's scary, it's more frequent than you think. There's so much you can tie to phenotype. But you don't need to be in medicine to know that.
Ooo I see another sbsk hater nice to meet you Unfortunately we don't have yet a lolcow thread on sbsk
thread tax: being easily insulted by terms like retard when they aren't even used at you,
liking sbsk despite watching them often
