The Gulag Apalego

After repeated attempts to pick up Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s pivotal study on the gulag system which exploited the USSR’s huge population as a source of free labour in most instances to modernize and fast-track Soviet Russia to industrial modernity. Dr. Peterson is quite right to repeatedly refer to these horrors of rationalism in which, means justify ends as illuminated by Solzhenitsyn. I would argue that under the framework of hybridization, education and free press/educational materials; the sharing of these horrors and horrific ways could be prevented in humanity’s next search for utopia. However, as AI advances, are smart enough to know where this can go wrong. I believe we are, we just have to make necessary educational and societal adjustments so that every individual on the planet is ready for this kind of framework sort of like that of workable anarchy.

The Gulag Apalego: eventually brought down the USSR and these horrific historic injustices did not let PERESTROJKA to slowly bring the USSR/RUSSIA into line with globalization and eventual evolution to the end of history.

WHAT HAPPENED?

We are back on the two-way street, so like it or not freedom will not be world-wide. Our societies will continue to compete.

Fascist hybridization of the USA will fast-track us back to the yin-yang of Global competition and Stability. With the USA as a global monolith has stagnated the global economy and is now back to a two-way street, which will give us all a choice of where and how we like to live. Maybe it should be done regionally so 5-6 paths globally, however, let us build the two-way supper highway that is stable before we try the path system.

The US finally realized they cannot do it alone and that they must put their shit together before they can be a legitimate hegemon and example which it used to be. The Americans are up to the challenge because one thing they know is excellence, big markets and bling. Everything we all want or most of us anyway.

So, before I get too ahead of myself…here is a few pics of the gulag system in Soviet Russia as a reminder if we don’t get out best and brightest on board to create a better future for all only hell on earth exists:

This was horror done in the name of science, let us know it and not repeat it because if the Trump/Musk and Putin/Xi Xing Ping can agree this is necessary we can all create the conditions necessary for the greatest advancements human kind has ever seen in a global renaissance. OTHERWISE, we are doomed.

So, yes we live in interesting times; however, it is up to all of us to keep it respectful, classy and peaceful.

Peace

Valentine’s Day, 2025

Yes, I ooze for you!

For all of those of you who are as lucky as I am to have someone to melt-with this Valentine’s Day. Consider yourself lucky. The kids have their treats ready for tomorrow and all in all, it is a special day. For all you scrouges, and ones who make up Valentines to be another marketing ploy to get us to spend money….well who cares. What better way to show someone in the middle of winter you love them with a special meal, chocolates, flowers or just take in the sights and sounds of everyday life together. Yes, it is a melting experience.

This year will be low-key, but a nice meal will get us to remember and shoot some more of those chemical reactions of LOVE which make us so weak to one another. There are 8 billion people on this planet and I share this life with you. I’m blessed. To all those who still believe Tina Turner, “What’s Love Gotta Do With IT?”, all I can say is get addicted to love. Love is what makes the world go round, without it we nothing but mere animals. Fall in and out and back and around in love and then you will see what Jesus was talking about. Yes, we can debate types of love and if you are interested in Love at all. But if you find yourself alone this Valentine’s day, LOVE yourself, build yourself to be able to love, because without it we are all just petty monsters.

To my children, family, friends and most importantly my wife; I LOVE YOU!

Let us not forget to love today and be peacemakers and carry it around year-round.

LOVE

<J.B.>

P.S. For the Canadian in me, a nice can of Campbel’s tomato or mushroom soup is all we need when we come in from shoveling the snow and are out of the cold. YES, it is that easy ladies to satisfy a manly man.

Understanding Agency: Is it intrinsic or not, values and autonomy much more complicated than I thought.

From a first glance Agency seems to be rather uncomplicated. An agent, thinks and acts on thoughts and when someones acts hurt others, others may or may not intervene.  A great overview on agency can be found on The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy and can be found below:

Christian Nationalism: Revolutionary or Counter-Revoutionary movement.

Yes, it seems that we are oscillating between truths.

Have a look, do not be quick to discredit as anti-Semetic rather give it a read and study it under a micro-scope you media literate experts!

Have a look:

I am sure that this should send alarm bells in one’s head. Please, do not take at face value. As a Christian the militant language is rather alarming; yet, comical at the same time. Christianity, started as an underground movement during Roman times…Maybe…

we are just going back to the primitive?

This is interesting studying on freetime…..pleasure to be Free.

Striking Thoughts: Bruce Lee’s Wisdom for Daily Living

Bruce Lee was a martial artist and philosopher. He studied Drama and Philosophy at the University of Washington in Edison. The wisdom he shares is an opening of not only Eastern Philosophy in comparison and compliment to Western Philosophy and rather a compliment to all Peacenik’s and Humanists. First, to understand and a previous post illustrated the Ying and Yang relation as compliments rather than opposites as key turning point to understanding. Much Western philosophy is also interwoven into the product of his philosophy such as Plato and the pre-Socratic’s. It is no question as to why his thought has become so successful and even a statue of him were placed in Bosnia and other trouble spots trying to create unity amongst people of various philosophies of their own. This is a worthwhile read and maybe even a detailed study are in order.

The computer generated image was created on an AI generator of Bruce Lee Kissing a Tiger. This is wonderful tech, yet, dangerous. As a result, this may open many roads in legal studies and how they deal with intellectual property. All I had to do was type “Bruce Lee Kissing a Tiger,” and the algorithm made me the picture. I was the inspiration AI did the rest. Interesting indeed.

So I walk into the Post Office: What happens next…….OMG!

SO today I walked into the post office at shoppers in MapleView Mall. My wife handed over the package we wanted to return before the strike and later back to work mandate. In no way were we pissed or mad…rather I felt bad they had to go back to work.

As a member of Unifor, I thought it my duty to express my congratulations at a great effort to my fellow working man. So, I say, Thanks for the effort keep up the fight! The response……I am a shoppers employee and am not an employee of Canada Post. SO, was it a scab or what ever but she gave me the third degree for giving them props.

Jesus Christ Almighty forgive her for she is delusional. When I calmly expressed the need for the workers like Canada Post 50 000+ workers strong she simply grouped them all into a backward group of uneducated vagrants …. boy if I could id punch her in the face, but I got too much to lose.

The nerve of this chick thinking just because someone does not have an education past high school or the many over qualified in the profession. How on this earth does anyone believe that people who risk their health and safety on a daily basis to deliver post in the rain, sleet and snow do not deserve 19 – 24% raise. {Tell that to the politicians who’s pays are in check. One question, has Trump taken a penny of federal money……mmmmm…not yet.} That by the way has not even kept up with inflation……OMG if I could I would have but I played it cool, calm and collected.

But I will never stop fighting for freedom, pay equality and decency. We are all not meant for university but we all deserve to eat.

Try a paper route if you want to know what post have to do perfectly on a daily basis. I did, didn’t last long just goes to show not all Masters of Education educators can and can’t do. So before you go and think these people who are just like all of us do not deserve a raise…….all I can say is go to hell.

Keep up the fight….Amazon your next…people do not undercut yourselves to great pay and lives we all deserve this not matter what race, creed or colour.

Know your worth, and don’t think your better than anyone else, is what I should have said to her.

Hopefully she can come to this revelation on her own

And yes you still deserve to work at shoppers no need to call head office.

Stumbling on Happiness: A worthwhile read or listen applying this to the last post in hopes of answering WHY.

Daniel Gilbert is a Professor of Psychology at Harvard.

This is great background on how the brain works to what makes us happy. Frontal lobe development and health is key here and why some violent offenders can almost be certain to have frontal lobe damage. What happens when it is not damaged? Great question into the diabolical or not.

Why do we have to understand how the brain works? If you can understand the brain you can understand why thought becomes action if we are not determined so from the past book from Sapolski this is very complex and not at the same time.

Happy reading!!!!!

Freedom: Examining the Extreme when thought becomes action the case of Andrew Breivik

The analysis below is from the posted article a while back from an Academic institution in Sweden.

Was Breivik’s attitude toward immigrants delusional or a precursor to the coming realities of Politics in the USA, Europe and Abroad. To begin, I in no way commend Breivik for his actions and or see the need to censor any thought on paper or on the internet. It is up to good parenting and ability to see the difference between fact and fiction and common principles of decency and humane action through processes.

I am happy that Breivik was not killed and am very thrilled that we may study his brain. Although, Brommsen’s analysis was mostly correct; her, political correctness was a problem and one in which Breivik and others would find insulting and that is why these things happened. Why can we not give out an olive branch to alienated youth and pull up the ones who have fallen through the cracks.

If you are not with us you are against us attitude is a problem. While us little people are still trying to get together and form communities and help us little guys get caught in the cross fire of presumed sanity, delinquency and threat. We should not be painted with brushes and a tag as a “bomb” or “ticking time bomb” stick and ruin an otherwise pristine childhood and persistent adulthood.

But I may digress, the world is turning whether we like it or not and we will continue to oscillate between truths as long as democracy is our system. If we do not have democracy violent uprisings is all we can assume and the cycle of peace and war will never cease to exist.

The author above seems to think that Huntingtons “Clash of Civilization’s” as discredited as I use to as an undergrad but not see its reality being self fulfilled or not. If that is the case it will take humanity a lot of effort to stop its inevitable annihilation.

Therefore, study these individuals who put radical thought into action. DO not kill them. Also, if you see someone who is alienated or seems alienated talk to them give them an olive branch because it takes a village sometimes and that is key.

The state should never be in the action of death and murder even warring for new civilizational standards. Yes, I am radical but a radical of heart, hard work and determination. Not violence needed here.

Ticking time bomb defused
