In certain philosophical circles, a lot of time is spent considering alternative possible worlds and the characteristics that they could or couldn’t have, creating useful hypothetical tools for introspection and discussion.
For instance, I think that there could be a possible world which intersects in most respects with our experiential actual world, but instead of being populated with beings who are agents of both deterministic causation and free will and are therefore subject to the problem of transworld depravity, it is populated with Men’s 1940s-style hats.
In this world, I am confident that the “Pork Pie” would get made fun of the most.
