Not at all! When walking around a city, our brains filter out less relevant input, stopping it from entering our own massive lookup table with heuristics.
For example; I hear a gunshot and see a flower. I'm not going to notice the flower. I only consider the gunshot and begin to process that information, deciding the give precedence to figuring out an escape route over botanical pondering.
