"Willful ignorance" is a basic concept in ''engaged buddhism''.
Hmm, I'd like to learn more about that. I suspect that any Buddhist viewpoint would be amenable to my view that the ego is only pretending to be in control of the mind when in actuality it exerts very weak influence.
Uhhhhh ... I'd suggest caution here; you're speculating concerning mechanism and that can get self-validating real quick when the subject matter is hot.
A good caveat. I'm just fleshing this out... I should indeed look at the in-group/out-group research you've mentioned. I'll take a look at Neumann's book.
