This phrase says “paying no attention to anything” and it is said to express elderly people’s attitude toward things around them.

.

However, as the years went by, I learned that as many as two thousand people belonged to the group of schools he led in many areas of Japan as its peak, which changed my thought.

Although I have never been in that kind of position, I can easily imagine how hard it is to manage that large organization.
