And somehow people never realize the paradox of where does the "wanting to do what seemingly no one wants to" come from. I mean, if no one really cared about X, then no one would be concerned that no one cares about X, right?

The way out of this paradox is that no one wants to promote X themselves, but they want other people to do it.
