Why does the subject of "agape" generate so little interest?

She said that selfishness replaced "agape". That means at the fall everything was controlled by the love of self, even sex.

Another thing, Gerry, Paul states that "agape is the fulfillment of the law." He didn't say "eros" is the fulfillment or any other type of love, he said "agape"....

Without the key ingredient of "agape" all the good things humans do outwardly is done for self-centered reasons inwardly and therefore in heaven's eye is mere dung - filthy rags. That's why Paul states that, "If I give everything I own to the poor ..., but I don't love [agape], I've gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love [agape]." MSG 1 Cor 13:3
