Get the Damned Ignorant mug.Kevin threw a punch at me when I told him that we have definitely been to the Moon. It was my first experience with anyone employing militant ignorance to keep from learning the truth and being proven wrong.

Get the Militant ignorance mug.A mistaken belief so strongly held that the holder is prepared to fight rather than accept the truth
Karen started a fight with a coworker rather than accept the truth that vaccines save lives. It was the clearest case of militant ignorance I've ever seen.

Get the Militant ignorance mug.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 Most commonly found in legacy companies where senior execs are allergic to change and cling to outdated models like it’s still 1995.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trying to look “new and hip” by wasting money on asinine expenditures DEI and wokeness thinking customers will overlook outdated products and services.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 Life Ignoring mug.Hym "You see, if you ignore it and hope it goes away not only am I not going to not go away but I'm also commit even nore so to doing it. Your mistake was including the mentally retarded cripple. The ambiguity is gone now and I just won't accept any outcome that doesn't involve one of two things.... And we all know what those things are. I'm sure you're tired of hearing it at this point. I'm tired of saying it. I'm tired in general. I've been up all night. I got a good one for you when I wake up though. You're going to like it."
