Here's a piece of food for thought: Isn't it significant that most of us do not understand much of the concepts and history behind the marvels of our everyday lives like inventions and cultural ideals? What does this say about mankind in this current age and time?
I think that is the reason why people are more and more disinterested in understanding the world (urban or natural) intimately, and only interested in hedonistic pleasures and specialised knowledge that can at least comfort us and make us feel less idiotic.
On a related note, I really feel that students nowadays are less curious about things and events, and loses interest in things that they are initially amazed by. Or maybe it's just students in my school.
