− | + | Beret Guy invites Cueball to join him in a two-seat kayak. Cueball is confused by this and asks why Beret Guy is in possession of a two-seat kayak. Beret Guy doesn't answer the question directly, instead encouraging Cueball to go on an adventure with him and 'find out' what its purpose is. Beret Guy's mindset is similar to {{w|existentialism}}, the belief that life has no intrinsic purpose, that you should simply 'go along for the ride' and come up with your own reason for doing so. Similarly, Beret Guy encourages Cueball to go on a journey with him with no idea about where they're going, simply for the sake of going on a journey. Beret Guy emphatically notes that 'the future is a big place', which Cueball takes to mean that the kayak can {{w|travel through time}}. Beret Guy points out that everything is travelling through time, which is technically accurate, as time is always moving forward, so everything is, in a way, 'travelling through time'... towards the future. Beret Guy's next comment, that the kayak also travels through water, is fairly straightforward. | |
− | + | The title text echoes Beret Guy's comment about time: if everything is travelling through time towards the future, then the future must be 'everywhere'. However, it may be more accurate to say that the ''present'' is everywhere, as we can only ever exist in the present, because the future by definition hasn't happened yet. | |
