We don't want to hear, we're not interested

I don’t know how to start this really and, to be be honest, by the nature of what I am about to say, many have already lost interest! Is it a modern thing I wonder? More and more recently I see some in society less and less interested in anything outside of their small interest zone. Attention spans seem very short too. I am aware of ‘cancel culture’ and I know what it is and, how I generally feel now is like that.
