pig-headed
Refusing all reason
Pig-headed means stubbornly unwilling to change one's mind or course of action, even when wrong.
The word implies not just firmness but unreasonable obstinacy: He was too pig-headed to admit his mistake.
The image is of a pig that won't be budged once it's set on something.
