Yes. I'm curious about lots of things. I don't have the time or specific interests to pursue all of them and so will prioritize, but not wanting to know stuff in principle is strange to me. Ok, so is the idea of being bored in a non-social situation. (I could be bored when visiting the relatives because politeness prevents me from going off and reading a book, but if my attention is under my control?)
There's one other reason I've told people "I don't want to know", though -- when I feel it is none of my business or would be an invasion of privacy. But I think that's a different quality than what you had in mind here.
