What's the term that describes the phenomenon of knowing everything yet still continuing to do what you've been doing all along, even though you know it's bad and unethical?
For example, I know that there's a recyling bin a few blocks away and I know that killing trees is bad, but yet I still throw my piece of paper into the garbage.
The term has slipped my mind! Argh! Help me!!!!

I remember it's something academic-sounding like "_____ discourse"

The correct term is STUPID. If you recognise the consequence and continue to make an inappropriate choice.

The word that comes to my mind is "non-compliant". You know what you should do, know how to do it, but you are not "complying" to your knowledge.
