High-Density Canada? Or a Grim Future We Can Avoid? Ah, the dream of living in a high-rise where you can practically reach out and touch your neighbor’s cereal bowl. What a time to be alive! As we scramble to house the masses, we’re apparently taking notes from Japan—where the average apartment might be smaller than the average person’s ego. But hey, why not follow the forward-thinking approach of cramming people into boxes? After all, who doesn’t want to live in a glorified closet? Let’s explore this brilliant plan for our future! What We Have Now: A Vanishing Dream Canada is proud of its vast spaces. The kind where you can drive for miles without seeing another soul, or, heaven forbid, someone encroaching on your lawn. The dream of a detached house with a driveway, where children can play outside without being squashed into a concrete jungle, remains the heart of the Canadian ethos. Yet, as we all know, this idyllic existence is shrinking —both literally and metaphoricall...

Mapping China's 50-Year Cycle with American Historical Cycles Both China and the United States exhibit cyclical patterns of political, economic, and social upheaval , but their cycles operate on different rhythms: China follows a ~50-year crisis cycle , marked by peasant uprisings, revolutions, and government crackdowns. The U.S. follows an 80-100 year cycle , aligning with Strauss-Howe’s Fourth Turning theory and Turchin’s Secular Cycles , with major conflicts roughly every 80 years (Revolutionary War, Civil War, WWII, and a potential crisis in the 2020s-2030s). By overlaying these cycles, we can compare their timing, causes, and predicted future events . 1. Timeline of Chinese and American Cycles Time Period China (50-Year Cycle) U.S. (80-100 Year Cycle, Strauss-Howe & Turchin’s Secular Cycles) 1850s-1860s Taiping Rebellion (1850-1864) – Peasant uprising against the Qing, 20-30 million dead. Civil War (1861-1865) – North vs. South, slavery abolished,...

Subject: Urgent Appeal – Incorrect Content Removal Likely Due to Glitch Dear Instagram Support Team, I am reaching out to formally appeal the removal of multiple pieces of my content, particularly reels that promote and support people with disabilities. Given that several of these posts were taken down in quick succession, it appears highly likely that this is the result of a system error rather than an actual violation of Instagram’s policies. The removed content focuses on disability rights advocacy, an essential and positive topic that aligns with Instagram’s stated commitment to inclusivity and community support. There is nothing in these posts that violates your guidelines, and in fact, they serve to uplift and empower marginalized voices. The fact that multiple reels on this subject were taken down consecutively suggests a glitch or misclassification by automated systems. I kindly request an immediate review of these removals and a restoration of my content. I am deepl...

The Psychohistory of a Global Economy: Predictions and Realities

The Psychohistory of a Global Economy: Predictions and Realities In 1989, I undertook the ambitious task of applying psychohistorical equations to the global economic system, inspired by the foundational theories of Isaac Asimov. Unlike the past, where economic models focused on national or bilateral comparisons—such as Country A against Country B, or occasionally regional economic blocs—by the late 20th century, the world economy had transformed into a singular, interconnected entity. The increasing integration of financial markets, supply chains, and multinational corporations rendered traditional economic theories insufficient for understanding the true dynamics of global events. My premise was that economic and geopolitical events could no longer be analyzed in isolation but had to be understood as part of a complex, interwoven system. Using psychohistorical modeling, I was able to predict several major economic crises with striking accuracy. One of the most significant fores...

Japan's experience of winter is indeed variable and influenced by temperature , rather than strictly adhering to fixed seasonal divisions like the meteorological or astronomical systems . I apologize for the confusion. In Japan, winter, like many other countries, is generally defined by the climate and temperature conditions , and this can vary significantly depending on the region. Here’s a more refined explanation: Temperature and Climate-Based Winter in Japan Winter in Japan is climatically determined , and its onset depends on the temperature and local weather patterns , which vary based on geographical regions. This is why Japan doesn't rigidly adhere to a fixed "winter season" based on a calendar date. Regional Variations of Winter: Northern Japan (Hokkaido): Winter in Hokkaido typically starts in November and can last until March , with heavy snow and freezing temperatures. The northernmost island experiences long, harsh winters. Central Japan (Honsh...
Digital Voting Machines Insane

The Case Against Voting Machines in Ontario Elections Cyberattacks are on the rise in Canada. They hit hospitals, cities, and government offices. Even the best-protected systems fail. If hackers can cripple payroll systems and lock down hospitals, they can break into voting machines. Security is the biggest risk. Hackers attack Toronto’s networks and government servers. Voting machines would be an even bigger prize. Foreign and domestic enemies would try to rig the results or shake public trust. A single breach could throw an election into doubt. Reliability is another problem. Ontario’s digital systems fail often. Banks, hospitals, and public services have all gone dark because of glitches and cyberattacks. If it happens during an election, votes could be lost or changed. Paper ballots don’t have that problem. They can’t be hacked. They can be counted by hand. They leave a trail. People already distrust institutions. Asking them to trust machines that have failed in other areas ...

Cleo version of my thoughts: As an amateur historian , I find the shift from physical and microfilm newspaper archives to digital platforms deeply concerning. While the Toronto Public Library (TPL) once maintained complete, permanent records of newspapers in microfiche form, today’s digital archives are often fragmentary and subject to impermanence . Unlike microfilm, which was a static, tangible record, digital archives are at the mercy of licensing agreements, corporate decisions, and shifting technological standards . Many contemporary platforms, such as PressReader and Canadian Newsstream, provide only text-based versions or limited access to recent issues , omitting critical elements like full-page layouts, advertisements, editorials, and local notices —all of which are invaluable for historical research. The lack of a universal, publicly accessible digital repository means that future historians may struggle to reconstruct an accurate picture of our era. Digital media can di...
