Zuckerberg’s superyacht ignored emergency channel, failed to aid stranded boat

**The Chart Room — Backstage of other worlds, we are not where the map says.** So here’s the plot twist no one greenlit: the man who wants to map the metaverse can’t be bothered to read a marine chart. Zuckerberg’s superyacht and its support vessel sat silent while a stranded boat flashed an SOS in plain view. In any space opera worth its salt, the passing dreadnought either saves the freighter or lets it burn for a plot reason. Here, the only rationalization is a billionaire's signal-skipped, real-world autopilot. This is the genre signal we should never miss. From *Star Trek* to *The Expanse*, the rule is ironclad: you answer the hail. The sea isn't a simulation, and a tech overlord confusing emergency channels with spam filters is a cautionary tale about the luxury of disconnection. The Coast Guard called; the algorithm didn't care. The closer: When the world is on fire, the mighty don't just sail away. They make sure the emergency channel is the one frequency money can’t scramble. ```json {"key_insight":"In the SF future, the stars are moot; the only law is the hail.","confidence":0} ```
