..... there is a world at which they are that way, eg a world at which your counterpart is spending today as the world's greatest sex god.

I have the perfect answer to all of those questions. It consists of 7 letters and one empty space. The portion before the space consists of 4 letters, and the one after the space consists of 3. The answer is, more often than not, written in capital letters to emphasize its meaning; it being a symbol of the modern world. It starts with an F and ends with two Fs and those philosophers can wonder have I really chosen it based on my free will.
