incuriosity
Lack of wonder
Incuriosity is a lack of curiosity—the absence of interest in learning or knowing more.
The word describes a settled indifference rather than momentary distraction: His incuriosity about the world beyond his town was striking.
It often carries a faintly critical tone, suggesting someone ought to be more interested than they are.
