“At Will Ignorance”refers to the deliberate choice to remain uninformed — even when truth or knowledge is available and accessible. It’s not accidental ignorance, it’s willful.
You’re calling out a mindset where people:
* Choose not to look deeper, even when evidence is right in front of them
* Avoid responsibility, because knowing would mean they’d have to act
* Prefer comfort over truth, and routine over awareness
* Claim neutrality, but in doing so, support the status quo
It’s a criticism of those who could know better, should know better, but decide — at will — to stay blind.

“At-Will Ignorance” isn’t just a lack of knowledge — it’s the rejection of it. It’s when people actively choose not to know, even when the truth is right in front of them. They avoid inconvenient facts, not because those facts are hidden, but because knowing would require responsibility, or worse — action. This mindset prefers comfort over truth, routine over awareness, and passive neutrality that silently upholds the status quo. It’s not accidental blindness — it’s willful. And in a world engineered to manipulate, that kind of ignorance is the system’s greatest ally.
