Do you feel like you got good input as to why people don't listen anymore and what to do about it if anything?
I definitely face this in my weight loss work. In my case, the people are too depressed, busy and hopeless to want to hear a new idea. The only thing I have seen turn it around is a big health scare. Fear for death is a big motivator.
I don't publish too many essays, bio, or fiction - those got very little attention when I did them.
