It sounds like a mix of you being invited to meetings that you don't need to be at, and you not being interested in learning about the business.
To solve the first problem, just stop going. See if anyone notices/cares.
The second problem isn't really a problem depending on your career goals. You can be a fine engineer if you don't understand the business, but you'll never get to the highest levels. At the highest levels, even as an engineer, you need to understand how your work fits into the greater business goals.
If however you are worried about career advancement, then you need to figure out a way to understand the business and the business needs.
The best way to do that is to just ask. If someone says something you don't understand, make a note to speak to them about it later.

Regardless if it's BS or not, if you literally couldn't care less about what Robert is doing and his latest report, and it doesn't concern your job, you shouldn't be on that meeting. Period.
