can’t get this out of my mind, everytime this subject comes up: The Midnight Sun, an episode of the American television anthology series The Twilight Zone.
...The Earth has begun moving away from its usual orbit and is gradually falling in its rotation towards the sun...A prolific artist, Norma, and her landlady, Mrs. Bronson, are the last people in their apartment building. Everyone else has either moved north where it is cooler or perished from the extremely high temperatures... As mentioned by a radio reporter, all citizens are to remain indoors and be prepared for a looter rampage. The radio reporter also states that you can “cook eggs on your sidewalk and cook soup in the oceans”...The thermometer surges past 120°F, and eventually shatters...
The scene cuts to the apartment at night. In the inconceivably frigid darkness outside, the weather is anything but hot. The same thermometer reads -10°F, and there is a blizzard outside. Norma is bedridden with a high fever, and is accompanied by Mrs. Bronson and a doctor. She was only dreaming that the Earth was moving closer to the sun. In reality, the Earth is moving away from the sun and will eventually freeze over. Norma tells Mrs. Bronson about her nightmare, adding, “Isn’t it wonderful to have darkness, and coolness?”
Mrs. Bronson replies with a sense of dread in her voice, “Yes, my dear, it’s... wonderful.”
I remember that show
I've been having dreams where the "darkness" consists of marxism and loss of individual liberty and imminent collapsing of the dollar. When I wake up, these fears for some reason don't go away...
