> Many (most?) people are simply not curious.

Is this really so? With respect, this take seems too cynical to me. I say this as a person to whom many come when they can't figure things out.

I often initially feel much like you do, but I temper that feeling with the knowledge that the asker is likely under delivery pressure, etc and has to subvert their curiosity in order to maintain velocity.



Purely anecdotal, and perhaps cynical, but that’s been my experience.

Yes, sometimes people will simply take the expedient option, but I often get the feeling they never even tried on their own, like even a little bit.
