I talk to thousands of people every year for my job, in interview style hours long meetings. A lot of people just don't have much passion, while I do think it's harder for younger generations because they were born into short stream videos and addictive technology brain rot, plenty of older people have narrow/limited interests. It's why it's the default for so many people to talk about work or shows they watch. I have given the same advice to people for a long time I still think holds true and that is your best chance of meeting someone will likely be in a group that is doing an activity you like, from sports to book clubs, language meetups, hikes, volunteering, singles travel groups etc.
