MALIGNORANCE
In discussing politics, climate change, technology innovations even COVID, there are those individuals who refuse to learn out of malice, it's an intentional ignorance where they cling to their ignorant beliefs because it conflicts with their self interest (economic, social or political). If they were being honest and open enough to learn, humble enough to accept being taught anything, they would easily understand and change their views - BUT - they maliciously cling to their ignorant belief, dig their heals in with an intellectual F U not because they don't really get it, they don't want to get it. Its intentional ignorance, maliciously ignoring a readily ascertainable truth to fight just to fight for a wrong deep down they know is wrong.
If Ignorance is Bliss, MALIGNORANCE is intellectual Hell. The Malignorant Oil Executive refused to accept that climate change was real and continued his companies investment in fossil fuels. -- or - Your Malignorance is shameful, you know COVID is real, you know it is killing people but your politics are a poison and you refuse to acknowledge truth.
