     "Choosing Ignorance: 40% Shun Consequence Knowledge for Selfish Gains"

     https://neurosciencenews.com/ignorance-selfish-altruism-24974/

     "New research unveiled that when faced with a choice, 40% of individuals opt to remain ignorant about how their decisions impact others, often leveraging this unawareness to act more selfishly.

     The researchers equate this behavior to consumers who turn a blind eye to the problematic origins of products they purchase."
