Why aren't people curious about life anymore?

I say this as someone who was never curious about life until relatively recently. I used to just stay in side, play games, etc. In general, just waste away. I don't know how I got from there to here. I just started getting curious, it feels like over night.

What I mean is, why aren't people intrigued enough to talk to people they come across like the poeple they might see regularly at Dunkin' Donuts or Subway?

Why does it seem like no one is interested in figuring out what THEY think is true, instead they just listen to people like Joe Rogan, or the Red Pill People (or on the opposite end of the spectrum: feminists, woke, etc.)

The older I get, the more I feel like all of these groups and people are full of shit, and much of what they believe or think is complete BS. 

 When I look back at all the time I have wasted listening to a lot of the stuff I have only to find it to be untrue, makes me sad.
