Are we living in an alternate world? Have we all passed through some kind of time warp where hate is good and peace is bad? Is this a world where the South has slavery and Hitler won World War 2?
When I turn on my computer each morning I am greeted with the latest news. Since being retired I have the time to obtain in-depth reports and read some really interesting magazines. My problem is that too many of the reports do not seem real.
For me it started when John Kennedy was assassinated. I could not believe that could happen in our society. Without reviewing all of the tragedies that have happened since that day in November 1963 I am now horrified to see that the president of the United States is a racist and a bigot. I am horrified to see politicians more concerned about gaining points for their political party rather than making decisions that are in the best interest of this nation.
Am I waking up each day in some alternate reality rather than the one that seems logical to me?
Wikipedia lists fictions about alternate realities Below are some they list but my favorite is George Orwell’s 1984. That is a story telling of a world where the government tells its people that things are not as they appear (like war is peace). The Ministry of Love is in charge of torture.
- Margaret Cavendish, Duchess of Newcastle, wrote The Blazing World (1666), a book far ahead of its time, in which the heroine passes through a portal near the North Pole to a world with different stars in the sky and talking animals.
- Ludvig Holberg, Danish-Norwegian author, historian and philosopher, wrote Niels Klim’s Underground Travels (in Latin as Nicolai Klimii iter subterraneum, 1741). The hero Niels Klim slips into a cave and reaches Nazar, a planet inside the hollow Earth, where societies and beings represent satirical comments to existing contemporary ones.
- Edwin Abott Abbott, mathematician and theologian, wrote Flatland (1884), also known as Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions. It recounts the story of a two-dimensional world inhabited by living geometric figures: triangles, squares, circles, etc., and explores concepts of other dimensions (or universes) including Pointland, Lineland, and Spaceland. A feature film adaptation of this novella was made in 2007, called Flatland.
- H. G. Wells wrote what is apparently the first explicit paratime novel, Men Like Gods (1923), complete with a multiverse theory and a paratime machine.
- Murray Leinster‘s story “Sidewise in Time” (1934), showing different parts of the Earth somehow occupied by different parallel universes, was influential in science fiction.
Trump decries immigrants from ‘shithole countries’ coming to US
Donald Trump calls the countries of the Caribbean, Latin America, and Africa “shit holes” and wants immigration from countries like Norway and then in the next breath tells us that “Today we celebrate Dr. King for standing up for the self-evident truth Americans hold so dear, that no matter the color of our skin, or the place of our birth we are all created equal by God.”
Stop this world! I want to get off!
