Tribal Ignorance
The human condition whereby the primal need for identity and trusted association, prove to be more important than objective, critical thinking; and the quest for goodness, righteousness, and truth. Often magnified by a parallel lust for control, capital, and power.
It’s tough to explain why politicians will put party before country; my only explanation is that it is an example of tribal ignorance.

Weaponised Ignorance
The creation of far-reaching, pervasive and destructive policy based upon unbelievably unreliable, unpredictable and/or otherwise ridiculously, unsubstantiated, merit-less untruth.
Current example of Weaponised Ignorance in a time when airtravel has NEVER been more safe: These new-fangled airplanes are just waaaay too complicated for pilots to fly. Too many buttons and switches to deal with. We need to bring back those old-school airplanes with them 'flappin' wings' and git rid of all these new ones with the com'puters...

Surf Dracula Syndrome
A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.
For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.

I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
