As everyone everywhere is fully aware, there is a movie by this same title: Everything Everywhere All At Once. But we have now become extremely aware that that title also describes Life Today!
Despite being warned as far back as 2000, by Al Gore, of the impending hazards of climate because of the impending damage to our planet by ourselves, nothing much was done. And now it's going to be so much harder to do anything about Climate Change, while we are at the same time experiencing the extremes of Climate Change: weather so mild in late fall and early winter that spring flowers bloom; tornadoes constantly sweeping across our country; heavy flooding along the coastal areas; terrible wildfires in the West; terrible heat in the west and moving eastward. And these are just the things we know, from the headlines.
I have to believe the Human Race is capable of doing something about all this. How about cross-country canals so that flooding can be diverted to fire-prone areas, which are fire-prone because of drought. How about more trees in cities to clean the air and the temperatures. How about humankind stopping wars on itself and using resources to make the earth clean and comfortable? How about religion being a private thing that doesn't determine who lives and who dies? How about learning more about housing constructions in the Middle East out of mud that build homes that are cool and comfortable?
How about all the possible good ideas out there that aren't being thought of because of the distractions from all the hate and anger out there?
How about we at least try?
