Sry u went through that. I'm of the unpopular opinion that as long as free speech doesn't incite violence against another or incite the restriction of another's freedoms, then anything's game. Incriminating some1 coz of their views is akin to fascism (or communism, 2 sides of the same coin).

Want to redirect your career towards Systems Engineering? Want to up your CV with INCOSE ASEP certification? A tool that I (CSEP for 5+ years, former pres of INCOSE Canada Chapter) created to help folks like you to crush the handbook is a 500+ flash cards deck. Check the link in the comments.

The alternative? This hellspawn would literally kill the cattle industry leading to higher beef prices. According to USDA the value of Texan cattle and calves in 2023 alone were valued at 11.35B USD. The mitigation strategy is protecting a long term and high stake investment.

Party politics risks groupthink as members share similar views, limiting feedback without external shocks. While caucus diversity can help, enforced alignment (e.g., GOP) heightens risk. A reinforcing cycle persists until disruption forces rebalancing.

Modus Tollens argues: if P→Q and Q is false, then P is false. While specs often state P→Q, they rarely cover outcomes when P or Q are false. Modus Tollens helps justify completeness by showing valid conclusions can still be drawn from unspecified conditions. Thoughts?

I understood intellectually of cults of personality, ie Stalin and Mao, yet I didn't appreciate until recently that it really does have a lot of influence over some people. What a time to be alive.

Heroes make Stories; Stories become History; History becomes Legend; Legend becomes Myth. I pray for the family of Chuck Norris. The Hero now transcends to Myth.

It is foretold by the prophet Pythagoras that each year on this Day that the heavenly bodies shall come full circle thereby increasing pie twofold and so it shall be until the sun rises in the West and the Seas dry up.

The Good Shepherd said to the flock: "On this day, this promised day, the Day of Pi, let there by pie. Let us live this day with humility and charity and forgive those who scorn pie for they are suckling babes and they do not know what they are doing.

Now here's a made up holiday that I can support. "Thou shalt endeavour to make pie as abundant as there are abundance of decimal places in Pi." - the Gospel according to Pi (probably).

I'd reframe 'biological' with sentient so it would be volatile sentient vs statistical synthetic interactions. Funny that humans are cosplaying synthetic agents, a reverse-UNO on the Turing test.

It's fairly dire if the province's economic viability is dependent on international crisis. One should think that even if the province had a diversified demand vis-à-vis new longitudinal pipelines to the coasts the price of oil would still make Alberta Sands a premium option.

I conjecture that in a 3-way prisoner dilemma game, where the other two are reducing collaboration with you whilst collaborating more so between themselves then it would be in your interest to bring in a 4th party more aligned with your interests. Otherwise, from a PD perspective, prospects are dim.

The aha moment for me was the conceptual somersaults you need to do to pass a signal from one thing to another in an executable model. Plus the exorbitant fees that incumbents charge effectively bottle necks development at the modeling step killing your gains.

Agency arises from our ability to reflect and change direction. Purpose is often found through action, not required beforehand. Purpose can be a blend of financial security, social belonging, mastery, identity, curiosity, duty, enjoyment, etc. If purpose is missing then practice agency to gain it.

Thinking about this a little more the precondition is to understand why I am working, or why I start the weekly grind at all. Understanding the purpose (for me it is to provide for my family whilst playing to my strengths) enables discipline and duty to thrive. W/o it then everything else fails

Fitzgerald Systems @fitzgeraldsystems.bsky.social · 17/01/2026

If there is a desire to feel either ready or good before the weekly grind then it would suggest that motivation to work is a desirable attribute. Yet it is not a sustainable one imo. The uncomfortable action would be to take a figurative cold shower of discipline and duty - to myself and my family.

AUKUS is concerned with nuclear submarines, not diesel submarines. Lumping highly enriched uranium with fossil fuels is misleading. Without the submarines how else to secure maritime sovereignty beyond sending strongly worded letters? Honest question.

I feel that shareholders are recognizing the disadvantages of an executive without a firm grasp on a company's product/service. Exhibit A is Boeing in the aftermath of its numerous product related face plants. After a decade the pendulum will swing in the opposite direction though.

For open complex systems to exist there is negative entropy, which brings order, evolution, resources and information to a system that would otherwise atrophy. Taking your point, journalists are agents of information and by extension agents of order. Interesting perspective.
