incurious

Lacking intellectual curiosity

Incurious means lacking curiosity—showing no interest in learning or discovering things.

An incurious person doesn't ask questions or seek new information: He remained incurious about the world beyond his small town.

The word often carries a note of criticism, suggesting intellectual laziness or willful ignorance.
