wilful ignorance

Knowingly ignoring something for no good reason.

When Joe read the newspaper every morning, he knowingly skipped over the articles about car crashes, even though they were happening all around him. A fine example of wilful ignorance!

"What a willfully ignorant bastard!"

informed ignorance

The seemingly oxymoronic state one holds after being briefed on an important issue that they themselves recognize as deserving of further investigation, and then having made the conscious decision not to learn anything more about it.

Example 1.
Dude A: Hey dude, wanna go to that lecture on the ongoing genocide in Darfur?
Dude B: Nah, no thanks dude. I'm happy with my informed ignorance.

Example 2.
Hippies often try to make you feel guilty about your own informed ignorance.

piss ignorant

Doing something that you think will make work easier but having your boss tell you that you are a dumbass until the crack fog clears and you can continue doing your job. Most people that are piss ignorant are short guys that wear 1988 calculator watches, wear a rain suit on a dry summer day, generally any oilfield hand or no matter what they do is never good enough or never right in decision making

What are you doing cleaning that pipe wrench?
It was dirty as hell
That's fucking piss ignorant

willful ignorance

(noun)
The practice or act of intentional and blatant avoidance, disregard or disagreement with facts, empirical evidence and well-founded arguements because they oppose or contradict your own existing personal beliefs.

This practice is most commonly found in the political or religious ideologies of "conservative" Americans.

Many times it is practiced due to laziness--people not wanting to have to do the work to rethink their opinions, the fear of the unknown, the fear of being wrong, or sometimes simply close-mindedness.

alt. form: willfully ignorant

Then Julie said, "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just not what the Bible says." God, what a willfully ignorant fucktard.
