witlessly
In stupid fashion
In a witless manner—without intelligence, sense, or awareness.
Someone who witlessly stumbles into danger does so through obliviousness rather than courage.
He witlessly repeated the rumor without checking if it was true.
The word suggests foolishness born of inattention rather than malice.
