dinosaur ignorance

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 Most commonly found in legacy companies where senior execs are allergic to change and cling to outdated models like it’s still 1995.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to look “new and hip” by wasting money on asinine expenditures DEI and wokeness thinking customers will overlook outdated products and services.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

The counterweight to Ignorance Objectivity—the belief that knowledge, while necessary, is never sufficient for objectivity. The Non-Ignorance Objectivist understands that learning a field's facts and methods is the entry requirement for having an informed opinion, but that even the most knowledgeable expert remains subject to framing effects, blind spots, and community assumptions. True objectivity isn't achieved by escaping knowledge or by accumulating it—it's achieved by constantly subjecting your knowledge to critique from multiple angles. It's the bias of people who know that knowing isn't enough.
"I've studied this for twenty years, which means I should be more suspicious of my own conclusions, not less. That's Non-Ignorance Objectivity Bias: expertise as the beginning of doubt, not the end of it."

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."
