Every human being whose mind is not debauched, will be willing to give all that he has to get knowledge.

CREATIVITY
Wanting to know things is close to a default setting, and when it disappears something has usually worn it down rather than it never having been there. Fatigue does this, so does constant noise, so does a job that punishes curiosity. The appetite tends to come back when conditions allow, which is a more hopeful diagnosis than deciding you have simply stopped caring.
If you have not been curious about anything lately, treat it as a symptom rather than a character trait. Ask what has been draining the attention. Then give one genuine interest an unhurried hour and see whether it stirs.
What would you give up to learn what you want to know?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
