>want to understand the world around them without actually putting work into learning more about it
This is what I've come to believe as well. I'm no exception.
Most people just use what they already know or think they know and twist and connect it in new ways thinking they found the answers formed from their very limited understanding. No further exploration or expansion of knowledge needed, everything 'one needs' is already given you just need to twist and believe. 

Some give other concepts and religions a cursory read and then use the cliffsnotes version to make up, connect, twist and turn some more. Assumptions are used as facts. Like someone reading the first two sentences on wikipedia about quantum mechanics and now has their own ideas about it. 
Then comes along some anon with a bit more knowledge and basically tells them they are a retarded.

As I said I'm no better and at this point feel like I'm too retarded and jaded to even try to really learn and understand. It's fun to do what we do here, I'm enjoying it for what it's worth. Succubus and spacecat threads included.
It's boring, but comforting.

if you understand that thats what you're doing, why not try to actually understand the world around you?
I understand that its comforting to do this kind of like middle-school ritual bloody-mary-summoning kind of esoterism, but you will get tired of it eventually, and in the end it amounts to nothing for your own development
I understand that the world is hard to understand, painful even, but it doesn't hurt to try, does it?

I mean I sort of gave the answer to these in my last 2 sentences, too jaded and retarded primarily.

Why jerk off when you could have a sex with a woman and have a loving family? You'll get tired of jerking it eventually right? It's hard, but can be rewarding, doesn't hurt to try huh?
The point is not everyone can achieve something great, not everyone can gain a greater understanding, not everyone wants to either.
If you go down any rabbit hole you end up with with psychology, sociology, history and other very boring things that are dreadfully real. Religion, love, life and magic loses all meaning, conspiracies are pointless if you just take a look around and realize you are no different than a serf from the middle ages, just in a different setting.
So why bother looking?
It's extremely difficult and only results in more misery for yourself more often than not. Not to mention some people by default aren't equipped to pursue such things in the first place.

Are you happier now that you made these realization for yourself? The ones you wrote in the OP? No, you are bored and disillusioned, unhappy yet here you are, haven't moved on to greener pastures.
Ignorance is bliss. Enjoy what you can. 

Let people have the morsels of joy they carve themselves in their misery, no matter what silly or insane form it may take.

you know, ok I agree, you are right, although I do think I'm happier
Not everyone would be tho yeah
