unheeding
Ignoring all warnings
Unheeding means paying no attention, ignoring warnings or advice: He walked unheeding into danger.
The word suggests willful or careless disregard rather than simple unawareness.
Someone unheeding of consequences presses forward anyway.
Literary and somewhat old-fashioned, it carries a note of recklessness or obstinacy that *inattentive* lacks.
