I've never understood why so many people choose to have a closed mind and have no interest in learning about life and the world and other people...

Sadly, we are (or are becoming) one of those cultures that beats the curiosity out of children. Or at least does such a thorough job discouraging it that they wind up adults who have no interest in anything outside of their few chosen interests.
