for all
Applying to everyone
For all introduces a condition that, despite being true, doesn't prevent something: For all his wealth, he seemed unhappy.
It means the same as despite or notwithstanding.
The phrase can also mean "as far as matters" with a dismissive edge: For all I care, you can leave right now.
In logic and mathematics, for all is a universal quantifier meaning "every instance of."
