@EricBoehlert Our systems have not figured out a response to a person (or party) who adopts a fixed state of radical ignorance. Enlightenment assumptions hold that everyone wants to learn and improve, and our language holds space for this. Must recognize the ignorance as a strategic endpoint.
@EricBoehlert This state of ignorance creates a loophole — “But what if he/she/they doesn’t KNOW they’re wrong?” Then press don’t meaningfully deal with what it means for the given person to be wrong about the given thing. Instead the ignorance becomes a perverse *defense*, ending the inquiry.
