Perhaps I misunderstand your use of the phrase “intentionally ignorant” but I believe many cases of people who are seen to have acted with “integrity” are people who have been hyperaware and well informed of what normal social conventions are in a given environment and made deliberate choice not to adhere to them, not ignoring said conventions out of a lack of interest.
I also am not sure what you mean by “weird”. I assume you mean any behavior which is not the normal convention of any randomly selected cohesive group of people, from a family, to a local soccer club, to a informal but tight knit circle of friends, to a department of a large company. Have I got that right?
My idea of ‘weird’ tends to involve the stereotypical artists and creatives I associate with, which is, within those circles not weird at all but normal. But I’m meta-aware that might be a weird take.
