Militantly ignorant
-
n., Peeps who rigorously [eschew] all forms of mental stimulation, on the feeble [premise] that either God or evolution will teach us all that we need to know. They may vocally oppose education, and believe that writing is something that only writers do. They sometimes brag about having no sense [of size], quantity, or direction.
The militantly ignorant rarely [read books] or even magazines or newspapers, admit that they dont enjoy the fine arts, have a poor sense of history, cant find Nevada or Pakistan on a globe, and avoid [watching the news] on TV. They dont own library cards or use technology, except as a joke or [novelty], believing digital productivity and entertainment to be [waning] [fads], and are easily recognized by holding materials upside down while reading, unless they contain pretty pictures. What [informational] channels they do expose themselves to through TV or movies are usually either [drivel] or very low-grade.
They are greatly relieved to be unaware of the existence of resources such as [NPR] or the Internet. They cant read, spell, or even speak very well, dont recognize or use many words, frequently substitute similarly sounding words for what they really mean, take violent offense at innocent comments, and otherwise misconstrue most statements containing words longer than three syllables.
Unfortunately, such people rarely study or try to improve themselves or their work, (if they actually do any), and can only poorly define their misconceptions, much less defend them. Should they attempt to describe a problem, they will most likely describe it as a thingy that acted funny. This may have seemed cute when they were small, but if such seemingly cute ignorance is excessively rewarded when people are small, they learn to adopt ignorance as a strategy for obtaining affection, and eventually their brains [atrophy] from disuse and they cant learn more mature strategies.
