Ongoing, unconscious incuriousness toward self-serving conclusions and evidence that might contradict + reflexive denial of any other viewpoint? E.g. "I don't need to read Darwin to know evolution is wrong" - existing belief strong enough to overwhelm any future info; why read?

If I know evolution is true and I outwardly signal otherwise, to me, that's just lying (perhaps a different kind of bad faith) I think my formulation is more common, but that's probably just my incuriousness
