'Everything at once everywhere' explains the craziest news

2023-02-03T10:43:14.945Z


In the most Oscar-nominated film, to go from one world to another you have to do something absurd. Something similar happens with some of the news of recent times


The movie

All at Once Everywhere

, one of the favorites at the Oscars, is very crazy, and without spoiling anything, it goes that there are many versions of this world, parallel worlds, in which we live simultaneously, with different lives.

And to go from one to the other you have to do something absurd.

You do it and wham, you go to another dimension.

So rest assured, this is the only world that exists, because if that were true, we all know people who would disappear all the time, because of the stupid things they say or do.

And I myself may not even be able to finish this column.

But who knows, maybe there is a world where Ciudadanos has an absolute majority, and with these strange things they do they are trying to move there.

It can also explain that even I find secret White House documents at home, they must be traveling the multiverse by mistake.

And it would definitely give meaning to Feijóo, that when he is going to speak you don't know what world he lives in, if he is coming to the center or is he going to the extreme right again.

Out of jokes, the president of the employer's association disappeared from the meeting to raise the minimum wage.

And even the King of Morocco at the airport where Pedro Sánchez arrived, who would feel like in that tweet that he posted (when he was

nobody

) when a taxi driver took him wherever he wanted: “By a taxi the longest way;

what do I say, do I do?

I don't know what the monarch must have done absurdly to disappear like that, but it seems that he was in his mansion in Gabon: he is absurdly rich.

On the other hand, Irene Montero does nothing more than defend her law of the only yes is yes and the fact is that he does not disappear.

There are also people who show up all the time, everywhere, you don't know why, like Tamara Falcó or the Benidorm festival.

Just as Jabois said that there is a whole world where Zidane misses his volley in the Champions League final, it is clear that Oriol Junqueras was located in a universe that is not exactly the one he was in the other day: you spend three and a half years in jail and when you get out they whistle at you and call you a traitor.

The man would be wondering if he had said something absurd in the last six years to end there.

And yes, that's right, but he didn't torture himself, it was a collective phenomenon.

Those people who insulted him were still in the universe that he and others had drawn for them, and see how you get them out of there.

They should tell them something logical, to try at least once, instead of jumping into more and more complicated worlds.

As if that were not enough, we now have the metaverse.

Since the triumph of the

selfie stick

, I no longer venture to predict the failure of anything apparently stupid, but I would swear that it is a major hoax.

My colleague Jordi Pérez Colomé walked through that world, in which there is nothing from the waist down, you see what a plan, and he confirms that it is a bore from the outside.

This is the world we have, and the worst are the impossible worlds that are in it.

Iran, for example.

How is it possible that a woman, the actress Mozhgan Ilanlu, is sentenced to 74 lashes and nine years in jail for not wearing a headscarf?

How is it possible that they sentence two young people to ten years for dancing in the street?

In a world that was far from ideal, this very one, there was

apartheid South Africa.

, and international isolation and, above all, the end of the Cold War game board, forced the country to place itself in our time.

Today the closest thing to

apartheid

is what happens in Iran and other countries with women.

It is an unbearable absurdity, and there it goes.
