incuriousness
Lack of wonder
Incuriousness is a lack of curiosity—an absence of interest in learning, exploring, or asking questions.
The word often carries a note of criticism, suggesting someone who ought to be more engaged: His incuriousness about the world beyond his own experience was striking.
It can describe intellectual passivity or simple indifference.
