CHILDISH: Inability to comprehend. Have you ever watched a kid just NOT get something, over and over?

Something so easy to understand, like gravity or liquid volume, and yet somehow the kid just cant change their worldview enough to grasp it. The kid has an excuse it takes time to learn certain things, and there are stages of development. Adults, however, dont have that excuse were all capable of comprehension and learning, but many of us just avoid it. Being stuck in your own worldview with absolutely no curiosity to learn anything new is a very boring problem to have.
