applying current morals and sociopolitical judgements to situations without considering historical or social context
when a kid says John Lennon is a racist because he wrote a song called “woman is the n word of the world” without recognizing the context and purpose of the vulgar lyric. It’s not that I’m not woke- it’s that you’re being progressively ignorant. (progressive ignorance)

A word that Jaidyn uses for less-experienced, and the closest to dumb someone can be to a topic or discussion
"You're f*cking ignorant!" ---
How dumb do you have to be to not get a polynomial equation if you have been in trigonometry for a full semester?? So ignorant.

The willful refusal of corporate leadership to acknowledge or adopt emerging technology, trends, or innovations. This often leads to catastrophic business failure. Most commonly found in legacy companies where senior execs are allergic to change and cling to outdated models like it’s still 1995.
Symptoms include:
- Laughing off disruptive startups
- Refusing to invest in digital transformation (including AI)
- Saying things like “This is how we’ve always done it”
- Holding 3-hour meetings to ignore 3-minute solutions
- Exaggerated paranoia about worst case outcomes trying new things.
- Refusal to invest extra money just because it might lower short term profitability and might temporarily upset investors.
- Pathetically trying to look “new and hip” by wasting money on asinine expenditures DEI and wokeness thinking customers will overlook outdated products and services. This was especially problematic 2021-2024 but still unfortunately prevalent in many corporations. This is the “Bud Light” effect.

Blockbuster had a chance to buy Netflix for pocket change, but their execs unfortunately had Dinosaur Ignorance. They thought they were too big to fail and they couldn’t see the asteroid of new technology about to obliterate their entire business model. Now there is just a sad empty dusty store in Oregon full of regrets.

Living in your own world to escape reality. Failure to know what is happening in the real world.
