Maybe. But they at least frequent here.

I think you undervalue yourself. I don't see myself as a big cog, but neither am I disillusioned to believe that just because I'm a cog in a much larger and more complex machine means that I have little to no importance. Lesser, but non-zero. Were I to have the vanity you suspect I have, I would not be calling for your support as I would use my ego to solve it alone. But I am not. I can't do this alone. Nor am I drumming up people to collect wood and assign tasks, but I am trying to help those find a longing for the endless immensity of the sea. I am trying to help us realize we aren't inconsequential and that together, we have meaningful power. The big cog may be shiny and may have a lot more power, but it is still supported by a thousand smaller ones.

I have no illusion that people here work for Google, Meta, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and so on. Do you really think differently?
