Bad epistemic practices/preferences/strategies. Or just “burnt out” lol

  IME, it seems to be sort of a pathological thing and not just burnout? When you burn out, you still know everything you've learned, but some people just are not self aware, do not care about it, and do not want to know how things work or why. The sort of people who will throw a fit if a software update moves a button, because they semingly don't have the knowledge or intuition to spend 10 seconds finding where it went. This baffles me, because I know plenty of neurotypical people who can do this, so it's not like it's a neurodivergence thing, it's just that some people seemingly are not curious about the world and do not even understand how to seek knowledge. Maybe this is an education issue? Back when I was in school, they never taught me how to learn, they just wanted me to memorize things and then repeat them back. I don't know how that would explain the difference though, since plenty of neurotypicals are served "well enough" by school. Comparing my own experiences is sort of a slippery slope since I'm neurodivergent myself.
