Intentional Sabotage

And FURTHERMORE, since you wanted to go there "SIS", in addition to having to carry lesser players to victory KICKING AND SCREAMING, I'M KNOWN IN THE COMMUNITY. In the same way that I'm known internationally for my genius, I'm known in the community and people recognize my name and overtly or subtly sabotage my matches. I recognize and remember the names of the people who do it repeatedly.

Hym "There is also an element of intentional sabotage. Like, right now. You're reading this and are STILL withholding actionable information from me aren't you? That's what makes YOU and the rest of them saboteurs. I don't need to know you. YOU only need to know me. I will be the one!"

Unintentional parody

When you post a video, podcast or similar and mistakenly believe you appear credible…when in actual fact you are an obvious charlatan and merchant of horsefeathers.

Hey did you see that unintentional parody Mo made? It was nonsense, but not on purpose.

Intentional Ignorance Theory

A theory, inspired by Peter Burke's "Ignorance: A Global History," proposing that ignorance is not merely the absence of knowledge but can be deliberately created, maintained, and deployed for strategic purposes—goals of power, identity, social control, mass psychology, and hegemony. Intentional Ignorance Theory argues that ignorance is often an active achievement, produced through specific practices and institutions. Modern manifestations include dismissal tactics like Sokalism, Kampfism, and Boghossianism-Lindsayism-Pluckroseism; biases like Objectivity Bias, Unbiased Bias, and the Fallacy Fallacy; and rhetorical strategies like Neo-Sophism and Scientistic Sophism. Historically, it appears in colonial suppression of indigenous knowledge, institutional cover-ups, and elite cultivation of public ignorance. The theory reveals that ignorance is often not something to be overcome but something actively produced—and that understanding how ignorance is made is as important as understanding how knowledge is made.

Example: "The tobacco industry spent decades cultivating Intentional Ignorance about smoking's health effects—funding contradictory research, attacking legitimate science, creating doubt where none existed. They weren't ignorant; they were making ignorance. Intentional Ignorance Theory explains how knowledge is suppressed, how doubt is manufactured, how entire populations can be kept in the dark by those who benefit from their darkness. The theory doesn't just describe ignorance; it reveals its politics."
