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.

Radical Ignorance

The original name of the Make America Great Again movement before they came up with something less self-deprecating.

Let’s come up with something a little more patriotic sounding, I’m afraid that Radical Ignorance just doesn’t cut it.

Fact-proof Ignorance Bubble

The hard shell that surrounds the head and brain of all Trump supporters.

The decline of education in America and the coinciding rise in more Americans afflicted with the Dunning-Krueger syndrome is strong evidence that many people live in a Fact-proof Ignorance Bubble, free of rational thought, logic and common sense.

Trying to discuss world events with Trump Supporters is useless since they live in a Fact-proof Ignorance Bubble.

murderhobo

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.

DM: The sad little orphan girl tugs at Steve's trenchcoat to get his attention, and ask for help saving her pet dog from...
Steve: I'd like to roll a strength check against strangling the orphan.
Dave: I call dibs on the dog.
DM: You murderhobos disgust me.

Whale

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.

"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
