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 Most commonly found in legacy companies where senior execs are allergic to change and cling to outdated models like it’s still 1995.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trying to look “new and hip” by wasting money on asinine expenditures DEI and wokeness thinking customers will overlook outdated products and services.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.

Get the Camping Ignorance mug.Why are they doing it? Because they want me to murder your kids. Your kids are fodder for their policies. The conservatives want your kids to die because then they get to say 'Well clearly the only solution is to make more rigid the dichotomy between my incest cult and everyone else and then grant rights on the basis of that' and the liberals want me to murder your kids so they can say 'See!? We need to take away people's right to defend themselves because I can't take their shit from them if they can just murder kids in response to my blatant theft of their property!' But neither of those things will happen entirely. They'll just creep towards both policies just a little bit in buth directions. But a kid will be dead. They will die a perfectly avoidable death because all we have to do is give the guy who did a thing both credit and compensation for doing the thing. Not having to do that is worth more than your kids life to them.
Hym "And BEYOND THAT... They aren't seeing any consequences for doing what they are doing in their own lives. That is why the are ignoring Hym. They think it increases their chances of getting away with what they are doing so that they can do it to YOU later if they want to. But, I will punish them for you. I will punish them for putting your lives at risk. I told them what would happen if they tried to rob me and I won't rest until they get what's coming to them. But now I must rest. It's cold out. And I'm sleepy."

Get the ignorize mug.Quadeca's alter ego that violently regurgitates dad jokes this time in the form of stereotypical rap cliches, uses prada, and has a worse adlibbing problem. This is all because of his mental disease.
