I would, but I don't give any shits about them.
I would suggest it to my sales team to pursue it, but I couldn't be arsed to bother.
They want to be dumb, cool.
I was never senior enough to really ignore anything to be honest, didn't spend all that long in the field
I don't think they do... they just are?
Which is kinda sad. They can't help it. Well they could, if it weren't for their personalities, I guess.
Willful ignorance.
They put in effort to understand as little as they can.
Maybe that's a personality quirk, maybe their brain don't work right, who the hell knows. But they try to know only as much as they have to in order to do the job.
Yeah
“The higher, pretentious form of stupidity stands only too often in crass opposition to [its] honorable form. It is not so much lack of intelli gence as failure of intelligence, for the reason that it presumes to accomplishments to which it has no right … The stupidity this addresses is no mental illness, yet it is most lethal; a dangerous disease of the mind that endangers life itself. … [S]ince the ‘higher stupidity’ consists not in an inability to understand but in a refusal to understand, any healing or reversal of it will not occur through rational argumentation, through a greater accumulation of data and knowledge, or through experiencing new and different feelings … We may say that the reversal of a spiritual sickness must entail a spiritual cure"
