Is there a single word to describe someone who disregards the fine details of something and only focuses on what they believe is the bigger picture? I'm looking for a negativepejorative connotation similar to "pedantic" which is the inverse: focusing on small details while ignoring the bigger picture.

I've tried searching here, Google, and Reddit but couldn't find anything specifically about this. I considered "ignorant", "didactic", but those are not quite right.

Single word for "ignoring the fine details to only consider the big picture" as a counterpoint to "pedantic"?
