Everyone has a different amount of curiosity for different things. Just because someone doesn’t want to know how a carburetor works doesn’t mean they aren’t interested in other things.
Also curiosity can be a luxury. Some people are very focused on following the beaten path because they think it might be safer. Start asking questions and rocking boats and you might cause problems. Curiosity killed the cat and all that. Over a lifetime people settle into their own groove of curiosity and satisfaction.
Like, the vast majority really do seem to just have no conscious train of thought. They just act on impulse and only start to think when their impulse doesn’t produce the expected response, that is if they don’t just lash out and get angry because it isn’t the way they want it to be.
Or persist in a series of varying thoughtless reactions, whether lashing out or simply engaging without stopping to think with ‘depth’.
Though, I’ve also come to understand many people seem to have no model for cognitive engagement. Like, “How do I think about this situation I’m in?”. So, I try to give some grace, but, ffs, what the damn… I wish more people would just physically stop, physically pause, and think before doing something which just causes a bigger problem. Like gd, why is everyone in my family like this…
Nothing will piss me off more than the response “I don’t know; I just did it cause I felt like it” after something that was incredibly obvious to be a bad decision if the person would have just taken two seconds to consider the details.
I want to know why other ppl don’t want to know why

Because neurotypicals don’t actually think, they just respond to stimuli
🤨😬
You can deny it for now but someday you’ll agree with me. All it takes is enough exposure
