How can someone live their lives without the constant wonder of the world around them?

Seriously. I never experienced how it is like being ignorant of the world. I'd imagine it would be very painful; it is this curiosity that kept me alive, kept me from killing myself the years I was horrifically bullied throughout elementary and middle school. How can one live their lives without seeing or wondering about the underlying mathematics to this world? How can one not be curious to find out how things work? I apologize that my generation is such a disappointment, but please do not associate all teenagers to be mindless technology-controlled zombies. There are the few of us that take time to appreciate nature and mathematics.

Because they feel safe not knowing what's around them.. And I think if they are exposed to ie. mathematics in nature or something actively living in their lives that's a higher complexity, they wouldn't feel safe

That's like being afraid of roller coasters without having ridden one. It looks scary from afar. People are often too intimidated to ride the roller coaster. They have preconceived notions about it. Once they ride it, they'll realize what an amazing thing they've been missing out on.
