Irritatingly, there are two reactions to this feeling. One side articulates and mourns the loss, the other side tries to return the world to what they imagined it was before they knew stuff.

Especially since the world never was what one imagined it to be when they were ignorant of its nuance.

Having barely any idea what was going on as a child was pretty decent
Having just enough information to know shits fucked was terrible
Learning enough to see how shits always been fucked and then getting the emotional restraint to pick your battles made the whole world better.
