14 Impossible Ways To Save The World

Who has the time to contemplate the "silly" things about our reality, like the inequalities in our world, the mysteries behind our existence, the ugliness in humanity, or the "ordinary" things that fill our lives with so much beauty? Those who give their precious attention to these topics and other unanswerable questions, like whether the world can be saved, are folks with a lot of time on their hands, or "crazy" people whose minds are not entirely preoccupied with their bills, their jobs, the assholes at their jobs, the sad state of American politics, the return of "Jim Crow" to America, or the rising cost of everything. But these topics deserve our collective attention; they are the meteorites of mystery that are periodically propelled into our mental atmospheres when we fleetingly tune out of our cultures' version of what is real and tune into the what-could-be world, that place within our highly misunderstood imaginations that has the answers to the unanswerable and has saved the world a thousand times over. Yes, it is questionable whether the world can be saved... but if it can be, the answers will come from the place within all of us that Albert Einstein said is more important than knowledge.
