There are people who are generic. They make generic responses and they expect generic answers. They live inside a box and they think people who don't fit into their box are weird. But I'll tell you what, generic people are the weird people. They are like genetically-manipulated plants growing inside a laboratory, like indistinguishable faces, like droids. Like ignorance.

Summary

This quote highlights the tendency of some individuals to conform to societal norms and expectations, leading them to have a limited mindset and inability to appreciate uniqueness. It suggests that those who conform and live within the boundaries of a "generic" existence are, in fact, the ones who are peculiar. Drawing parallels to genetically engineered plants and indistinguishable faces, the quote carries a metaphorical tone to criticize the homogeneity and ignorance that can result from conforming to societal norms. It challenges the idea that being different is something to be criticized, instead celebrating diversity and individuality.
