Guide: “Hi there, Mr. Trip! I’ll be your travel guide on our journey today. Welcome to LaLaLand!”

Traveler: “LaLaLand? What the heck is that?”

Guide: “It’s a place where there are no big worries. Only a few minor concerns. All of the big problems are swept aside, as if they don’t exist.”

Traveler: “Wow. Sounds nice! Let’s get going!”

G: “Uh, what do you mean?”

T: “Simple. I want you to take me there. To LaLaLand. I’m sick and tired of dealing with so many problems. I have a teething toddler at home, a jerk for a boss, a dog with diarrhea, and a very nasty cat who my wife adores. I need a break! Let’s get moving!”

G: “Well, ah, I’m sorry, but I’m not sure you understand.”

T: “Understand what?”

G: “Well, in LaLaLand, there are no big worries. You know, things like runaway technology, nuclear weapons proliferation, global warming, bioweapons research. You know. Big stuff. The things you are describing are trivial problems.”

T: “Trivial? Are you kidding? Your so-called ‘big stuff’ isn’t my problem! I have no control over that crap! I have my own problems!”

G: “I see. Well, in LaLaLand, people don’t worry about what you are calling ‘crap’. They simply ignore the big issues and focus on their own petty problems. At least, until one of those big issues bites them in the butt.”
