The "Someone Else's Problem"-field. You know, when an invisible Chandrasekhar limit-mass slice of hyperspace falls through your ceiling and smashes the radio, but you have no idea what happened or how to deal it, so you ignore it and keep knitting.

This is it.

I get it every time nowadays: What am I doing, reading comics? I could change the world, right now. And yet I continue.
