It seems that many have sufficient capability and ample opportunity to be "smarter" ... but they seem to lack motivation to learn (acquire knowledge) more than just enough to "get by" ... are these people just simply comfortable with being "intellectually lazy"?
What is the difference? What do you think attributes to some being "lazy" while most are more "motivated"?

I think that you need to have the right incentive and enough time and/or money to pursue knowledge.
In addition some people are just not curious.
Remember that there are different types of intelligence so if someone is not well read or educated they may have excellent skills in another area that can make them a outstanding musician, carpenter or chef for example - and yes I know that these professions can also require education. We cannot apply the same criteria of measure to everyone.
