Apr 17, 2024
It makes him sad to see that people are disenchanted and nihilistic and depressed and anxious and aimless and evil and vengeful and all that stuff, it's terrible, and then to see people wonder if that's necessary and then start to snap out of it, it's like it's so funny how I was last night after my talk, it's overwhelming. I don't usually think about these things, but I was, I was after my talk last night and all these people line up and you know they have their 15, 15 seconds with me. and they're a little hesitant, they're excited and hesitant when they come up to talk to me and then they have, you know, 15 seconds to tell me something.
the 13 truths   jordan peterson   incredible speech
I'm really listening to them and they're hesitant about whether or not to share good news about their life, you know, and I think it's often because when people share good news about their life, people don't necessarily respond positively, you know, they don't get encouragement. and people need so little encouragement, it's just

incredible

. and then something good comes along and I think, oh, that's so good, you know, someone says, oh, I get along so much better with my dad. I haven't seen him in 10 years and now we get along really well and then the power of that.

I can't overstate the power that that has for individuals to fix their lives, individuals are an incredibly powerful force and each person who organizes a little bit has the ability to spread that around them, it's a chain reaction and so So much, it's a How nice to see that I have to treat yourself like you're important because if you don't then you don't take care of yourself and you become vindictive and cruel and you take it out on the people around you and you. You are not a positive force, none of it is good, so you suffer more and so does everyone around you, and there is a malevolence that comes into it.
the 13 truths   jordan peterson   incredible speech
None of that is good, so that's what happens if you don't treat yourself like you matter and then what happens if you don't treat other people like they matter you lie to them you cheat on them you steal you get into impulsive relationships with them they can't trust you that's not going anywhere they don't like you you end up alone at best and maybe imprisoned at worst it doesn't work that way so you watch the people around you who thrive regardless of Whatever they say, they represent the proposition that everyone matters and then you have a functional society and I think that's fine. well, yeah, yeah, when you put into practice the proposition that everyone matters, you have a functioning society, maybe that's evidence that that proposition is true, it's like, I think it's, I think it's true, one of the things What's really interesting about the Old Testament is that and the Jews in the Old Testament is that they don't take the path of Cain every time God hits them, which is like quite often they say we must have done something wrong and that we have to correct ourselves and that is an incredibly heroic attitude. because that's the alternative to cursing fate, it's like you take responsibility for failure and think well, if it were, maybe if I acted a little better if I took advantage of every opportunity that came my way.

If he wasn't resentful and bitter then he might have done something that would have tipped the situation in a different direction and that is almost inevitably true. I think Dostoevsky said something like every man is responsible for everything that happens to him and everything that happens to him. It happens to everyone else and that's what you know, it's a crazy statement, right, it's a crazy statement and he was a pretty extreme person in a lot of ways, but there's a level on which that's metaphysically true, you know, because what happens is that it is you. not acting often, that's the most catastrophic thing, you know, I mean, not doing the right thing when the situation presents itself and it's very specific, you know you're constantly in situations where you could do the right thing if you did. you're willing to take a risk that's actually a relatively moderate size and you know you can take the risk and you know you should take the risk but you don't and that happens to people all the time and then what happens is what Those who did not oppose grow a little and shrink a little and that starts a cycle, psychologists have not all been psychologists obviously, but the psychological profession is up to its neck in this, in this pathology it has been beating the drum of self-esteem for fifty years oh no, you're fine you should feel good about yourself like you're fine just the way you are it's like you think well that's a reassuring message for people it's like no, it's not, it's not at all and I look at my audience, this is like I'm full of people in the audience who think I'm suffering way more than I think is sustainable. a lot of things it's my fault that my life is not in the order it should be.
I know I'm doing 50 things wrong, it's like what the hell is wrong with me? What's wrong with the people around me? This is very serious and someone you know, a well-meaning person comes up and says, "Oh, you're fine just the way you are, it's like no one wants that message, it's like no, me." I'm not okay the way I am I'm not okay at all the way I am I know and then you know when I'm when I'm talking to when I'm talking now I tell people well oh you You're not even close to what you could be, that's the positive message , it's like, yeah, you're a mess, but you don't have to stay that way because you're a mess, you know, obviously, you're suffering like that.
As much as you can barely tolerate it, it's okay, you can do something about it, so yeah, that's what turns the lights on, it's like you have to do something about it. There is a line in the New Testament that is relevant to not casting pearls. before the pigs and what that means is if people don't listen to you, stop talking to them and that's really the best advice I can give you and what happens is if you stop talking to people who don't listen to you and you start watching them, instead they will tell you what they are doing, but if you have things to say, say them, but find people who will listen to you, talk to them, those who are not listening, they back away because are you devaluing what you have What to say when offering it to an audience that does nothing but reject it and is that a good guide for life in general?
Then you are harmless. You are not virtuous. You're just harmless. like a rabbit, the rabbit is not virtuous, yes he just can't do anything except get eaten, he is not virtuous, if you are a monster and you don't act monstrous then you are virtuous, but you also have to be a monster while watching this all the time Harry Potter is like that too it's like he has flaws he's hurt he has evil in him he can talk to snakes man he breaks the rules all the time all the time he's not obedient at all but you know he has a good reason to break new rules and if he couldn't break the rules, he and his little taco of breaking the rules you know, the troublemakers, if they didn't break the rules, they wouldn't reach the highest goal, so it's very peculiar, but it's very much there.
It's a very, very, very common mythological notion, you know, the hero has to be limited, he has to be a monster, but a controlled monster, Batman is like that, I mean, he's everywhere, it's the story of Tor that You always listen, I know what you said in the last conference. that the importance for city goers in life and having goals to work towards is right, so my question was where do you do that if you don't know where you want to go? Because that's where I got stuck. you're your future offering a show because okay, that's a good question, that's a very good question, so there's this notion in the Old Testament that morality follows a sequence of prohibitions, there's a lot of bad things that you shouldn't do. and then basically You're good enough and I think there's wisdom in that.
I think that's where kids start. I mean, I love kids and all, but they're crazy little creatures and they need to be. you know, civilized and partly what you do is impose prohibitions on them and, above all, what you are trying to do is impose prohibitions on them for behaviors that, if they manifested, would make their lives miserable, so that is why this thing I do . I've said people have gone crazy on the internet but that's cleaning your room and that's a lot better and more useful than people think, it's a lot harder but I think it's the first thing you do and I learned this. partly from Solzhenitsyn when he was trying to file his soul when he was in the gulag because he was trying to figure out how he got there how he contributed to how he got there you don't know Stellan and Hitler even though they were kind of You're to blame, you know , but he couldn't do much about it.
I think what you have to do and this is part of humility is you have to look around within your sphere of influence, like the direct sphere of influence, and fix things. that are advertised as needing repair and those are often little things that you know and they can be like putting your room in order because the thing is, it's not exactly that important that your room is in order, although the important thing is that you learn to distinguish between chaos and order and to be able to act in a way that produces order and I think you can do something as simple as just sit in your bed and think, okay, there are probably five things I could do today so that tomorrow morning tomorrow will be better than this morning at least or at least I'm not falling behind and the ones that normally are it's like having to eat a toad in the morning really it's like it's not something you want to do There will be things you will try to avoid, essentially snakes , but if you ask yourself as if you were asking someone, I think it is a form of prayer.
If you ask yourself instead of telling yourself, you know what I can do. To fix things today more than I would, it's usually something small because you're not as disciplined, you know, so you can do it and then you organize the world a little more when you do it and that spreads. but you also build yourself into something that is more capable of generating order out of chaos and that makes you stronger and stronger and then the next day maybe you can take on a slightly bigger task and get the benefit of the compound interest. If you do that, it's a tremendously powerful technique and they think that if you do it at some point, instead of just having to fix the things that aren't right, you'll start to get a glimpse of the positive things that you could do. positive things that you could do that would actually constitute a vision and that's what I would recommend if you're hungry and you eat well, that's good, but it's over and then you move on to the next thing, it's not exactly sustaining, it's just necessary, that's called consuming reward Ettore because of the way this other reward system is incentive reward and the incentive reward system works with dopamine, this neurochemical dopamine, which is also the neurochemical clue to opiates, cocaine and amphetamines, drugs that people really like to abuse alcohol frequently. for some people it activates and then you could say that if you don't have enough meaning in your life then you are more prone to addiction and that is definitely the case even with rats, if you take a rat, you put it in a cage by itself and it doesn't has nothing to do and then you give it access to cocaine, it will become addicted to the point that it will do nothing but do cocaine, but if you throw the rat back in with a bunch of other rats and it will be able to do rat things, then It is very difficult to get addicted to cocaine, so the purposeless rat is prone to addiction, well, it is the same with human beings.
Here's a corollary to that that's really cool, so the magnitude of the reward you experience when you're moving toward a goal is proportional to the importance of the goal, which means that the more important the goal you choose, the better your chances. there will be for the type of reward. Let's say it's really a life-affirming state of being and it's directly life-affirming because you know that if you're at a soccer game and you're banned, it's an important soccer game and maybe you break a finger and you know that normally That's a problem, it hurts and you're going to stop doing whatever it is. you are doing it, but if you are right in the middle of the game then you will be so excited about this reward system that it is analgesic, it stops pain and it also suppresses anxiety, so if you have a purpose then it is analgesic.
Some of the pain in life is very positive because it motivates you and gives you energy and focuses you and makes you able to remember and pay attention and calms fear, so all those things are direct and then you can think through what is best . possible goal, well, and that's the purpose I would say of religious and philosophical training, it's like what the hell are you doing in the world, you have to treat yourself like you matter, because if you don't, then you don't care . of yourself and you become vengeful and cruel and you take it out on the people around you and you are not a positive force, none of that is good, then you suffer more and more so does everyone around you and there is a malevolence that comes into play , none of that is good, so that's what happens if you don't treat yourself like you care and then what happens if you don't treat other people like you care?
You lie to them, you cheat on them, you steal from them, you get into impulsive relationships with them, they can't trust you, that's not going anywhere, they don't like you, you end up alone, at best, and maybe,imprisoned, at worst, like this. doesn't work and then you watch the people around you who prosper regardless of what they say, they act on the proposition that everyone matters and then you have a functioning society and I think it's okay, yes, yes, when you act on the proposition that everyone matters it matters that you have a functional society maybe that's evidence that that proposition is true it's like I think it is I think it's true good damn schedule and stick to it, what's the rule with the schedule?
It's not a damn prison, that's the first thing people do. bad is to say well, I don't like having to follow a schedule it's like, well, what kind of schedule are you setting? Well, I should have to do this so I have to do this so I have to do this you know and then I'm just going to play video games because who wants to do all these things that I have to do? It's wrong to set the damn schedule so you have the day you want, that's the trick, okay, I have tomorrow if I was going to do it. set it up to be the best possible day you could have practically speaking, what would that look like?
Well, then you schedule it and obviously there's going to be a little bit of responsibility that goes along with that, because if it makes any sense, one of the things that we're going to insist on is that at the end of the day you're not in any worse shape than you were. that you were and then at the beginning of the day, of course, that's a stupid day if you have a bunch of those in a row you just dig yourself. I know you dig a hole and then bury yourself in it, I'm sorry but that's not a good strategy, it's a bad strategy, so maybe 20% of your day has to be responsibility and obligation or maybe more depending on how far back you are. but even that you can, you can ask yourself: well, I have these responsibilities.
I have to schedule the damn things on what the right ratio of responsibility and reward is and you can ask yourself that, just like you would negotiate with someone who is working. for you it's like, okay, you have to work tomorrow, okay, so I want you to work tomorrow and you might say, okay, well, what are you going to do for me so that I'm likely to work for you? Well, you might wonder, maybe you know. you do an hour of responsibility and then play a video game for fifteen minutes. I don't know what drives you crazy, but you know that you have to negotiate with yourself and not tyrannize yourself as if you were negotiating with someone you care about. that you would like to be productive and have a good life and that's how you make the schedule and then you look at the day and you think, well, if I had that day, it would be good, great, you know, and you.
They're useless and horrible, so you'll probably only get it right with about 70% accuracy, but that's a lot better than zero, and if you get it right even with 50% accuracy, another rule of thumb is to aim for 51% next week. or 50 and a half percent for the love of God or because you're going to get to that position where things start to positively regress and spiral upward. One of the main reasons people get what they want is because they don't really find out what it is. and the probability that you will get what would be good for you, let's say it would be even better than what you want, because you know that you could easily be wrong about what you want, but you might be able to get what it really would be. good for you good why don't you do it well because you don't try you don't think well this is what I would like if I could have it and I don't mean I don't mean that you manipulate the world to force it to give you goods to get status or something like that , that's not what I mean, I mean something like imagining that you were taking care of yourself as if you were someone you really cared about and then you thought it was okay.
Caring for this person I would like everything to go as well as possible for him. What would his life have to be like for that to be the case? Well, people don't do that, they don't sit back and think, okay, you know? let's figure it out you have a life it's difficult obviously it's like in three years you can have what you need you have to be careful you can't have everything you can have what would be good for you but you have to find out what it is and then you have to aim well . My experience with people is that if they figure out what would be good for them and then they put it down, they understand it and it's strange because they didn't necessarily give me an idea about what would be good for you and then you take ten steps towards it and you find out. that your formulation was a little wrong and then you have to reformulate your objective.
You know you're kind. of going like this as you move towards the goal, but a big part of the reason people fail is because they never set the criteria for success and therefore success is a very narrow line and is very unlikely. the probability that you will achieve the goal. If we're going to run into it at random, it's zero, so there's a proposition here in the proposition: If you really want something, you can have it now. The question then would be: what do you mean by really wanting an answer? It's that you reorient your life. in every way possible to make the probability of that happening as certain as possible and that's an idea of ​​sacrifice, right, it's like you don't get everything, obviously, obviously, but maybe you can have what you need and such Maybe all you have to do to get it.
It's asking, but asking is not a whim or a desire today, it's like you have to take it very seriously, you have to think that it's okay, like I'm taking stock of myself and if I'm going to live properly in the world. and I was going to prepare myself in such a way that the being would be justified in my opinion and I don't mean, as a stern judge, how exactly I would like to sit on your bed one day and ask you what remarkably stupid things I am. Doing it on a regular basis absolutely ruins my life and if you really ask that question but you have to want to know the answer correctly because that's actually what it means to ask the question, it doesn't mean just saying the words, it means you have to decide.
What you want to know, you'll find that this happens so quickly that it will make your hair curl and stop doing the things that you know are wrong and that you might stop doing right, so it's a pretty limited attempt in the first place. , we. We're not going to say that you know what is good or what is true in any ultimate sense, but we will assume that there are things that you are doing that for one reason or another you know are not in your best interest. them, you just know you have to stop, they are kind of obvious to you, other things you will have doubts about, you won't know which way is up and which way is down, but there are things that you are doing. that you know you shouldn't do now some that you won't stop doing for whatever reason you don't have the discipline or maybe there's a secondary reward or you don't think it's necessary or it's too much of a sacrifice or you're angry or resentful or you're afraid, who knows , so forget about it for now, but there is another subset that you could stop doing, it may be a small thing, well, okay, stop doing it and see what happens and what will happen is your vision will become clearer. a little bit and then something else will appear in your field of apprehension that you will also know that you should stop doing and that you might stop doing because you have become a little stronger by stopping doing that particular stupid thing that you were doing before. that just brings you together a little bit more and you can do it repeatedly over an indefinite period of time and you know that doesn't necessarily mean that you'll ever be able to formulate a clear, final picture of what constitutes truth and good, but it does mean that you'll be able to continually move away from each other. of what is false and what is bad, and you know that it is not a bad start.
The next best predictor of success in your life is conscientiousness. Well, although of the two aspects of conscientiousness say order and industriousness, the best predictor is industriousness, so the question is what can you do about your industriousness and the answer is well, that's a little difficult too because there are a strong genetic component, but you can work on microhabits. regarding your conscientiousness and I believe that the best microhabits have to do in part with the processes of this future creation program. I think the best thing you can do regarding your conscientiousness is to set some goals for yourself that you really value and The Future Building Program helps people do that and basically does a situational analysis.
It helps you do a situational analysis of your life more than a psychological analysis, I would say, so the questions are kind of, well, you'll have to ask. some effort in your life and you need to be motivated to do it, so what are the possible sources of motivation? Well, you could think of them in the Big Five way. You know if you're an extrovert you want friends if you're nice. you want an intimate relationship if you are unpleasant you want to win competitions if you are open you want to engage in creative activities if you have a high level of neuroticism you want security okay then those are all sources of potential motivation that you could take advantage of what you can adapt to your own personality, you know your own personality, but then there are dimensions in which you want to consider your life, so we ask people, do you know if you could have your life the way you want it in three to five years if you took care of yourself properly do you know what you would want from your friends what would you want from your intimate relationship how would you like to structure your family what do you want for your career well how are you going to use your time outside of your work and how are you going to regulate your physical, mental and physical health and maybe also your drug and alcohol use, because that's a good place to reduce, you know, because alcoholism, for example, kills, you know, five to ten percent of people, so you want to keep that under control and then, then, maybe know, you develop a vision of what your life is like, what you would like your life to be and that associates the goal well once the goal is established and then you divide the goal into microprocesses that you can implement, the microprocess has become rewarding in proportion to their causal association with the target and that gets entangled in your incentive reward system.
You know, we talked about the dopaminergic incentive reward system and that's it. What keeps you moving forward and the way it works is that it works best if it produces a positive emotion. Winning can see you move towards a valuable goal. Well, what's the implication of that? You better have a worthwhile goal because otherwise you won't be able to. get any positive motivation by working and therefore the more valuable the goal is in principle, the more the microprocess is associated with that goal, start to acquire a positive charge and what that means is that you wake up in the morning and you are excited . about the day you're ready to leave and, as far as I can tell, what you do is specify your long-term ideal, maybe you also specify a place you want to stay away from so you're afraid of failing. as well as excited to succeed because that is also useful you specify your goal you do it you do it in some sense as a unique individual you want it you want to specify goals that make you say oh, if that could happen as a consequence of my efforts It would clearly be worth it because the The question is always why do something, because doing nothing is easy, you sit there and don't do anything that is really easy, the question is why would you do something and the answer has to be because We have somehow determined that it is worth the effort. pity and then the next question might be where you should look for things that are worthwhile and one would be that you could consult your own temperament and the other would be well you look at how you look at what it is that people accumulate, that's valuable throughout life, look, look, then you do a structural analysis of the subcomponents of human existence and I already did it, you need a family, you need friends, you don't need to have all these things, but you better have most of them, family, friends, professional educational goals, plans for yourself, you know, time away from work, attention to your physical and mental health, etc., you know that's what life is about and if you don't have any of those things right, then everything.
What I'm left with is misery and suffering, so that's bad, that's a bad deal for you, so once you set up that goal structure, let's say, and that's really in many ways, that's what you should do in the universities. That's exactly what you should do, try to figure out who it is that you're trying to be right and aim for that and then use everything that you learned as a means to build that person that you want to be and really I mean, I don't mean, should be, even those things, those things will overlap and it's important to distinguish between them because that's partly and this comes down to microroutine analysis, so like I say, you're going to try to be more hardworking.
Well, number one, specify your damn goals, because how are you going to achieve anything if you don't? I don't know what's not going to happen and often people also don't specify their goals because they don't like to specify the conditions for failure, so if you stay vague and confusing, which is very easy because that's just it's a matter of not doing as well so you don't know when you fail and people might say well I don't really want to know when I fail because it's painful so I'll just stay blind to when I fail, that'sgood. Except you will fail all the time, then you won't know until you've failed so badly that you're done and that can easily happen when you're 40, so I would recommend against it. let that happen, so that's willful blindness, right, you could have known that, but you chose not to accept it, so once you establish your goal structure, you think okay, if I could have this life, it seems like it would be worth it live it even though it will be like that.
You know, anxiety provokes and threatens and there will be some suffering and loss involved in all of that, obviously the goal is to have a vision for your life so that, considering all the things that justify your effort, you will necessarily have to have done something evil. completely losing control is a terrifying doctrine, but it is not a desperate doctrine because it still says that there is a way forward, there is a way forward and the way forward is to adopt a way of being that has a certain nobility so that you can tolerate yourself. yourself. and maybe even have some respect for yourself as someone who is capable of facing that terrible vulnerability and suffering and that the way forward as far as existentialists are concerned is, though certainly, avoiding deception, particularly in language , but also by taking responsibility for the conditions of existence and some attempt on your part to rectify them and what's so interesting about that is not as far as I'm concerned and some of this comes from clinical experience, you know If you take people and I've told you this and you voluntarily expose them to things that they avoid and fear, you know that they know that they need to overcome in order to achieve their goals, their self-defined goals, if you can teach people to stand up to things that they fear, they get stronger and you don't know what the upper limits of that are because you might wonder if for ten years you didn't avoid doing what you knew.
What you have to do before death according to your own definitions, just within the value structure that you have created, to the extent that you have done it, what would you be like? Well, you know there are remarkable people who come into the world from time to time. and there are people who discover for decades what they could be like if they were who they were, if they said, if they spoke, their being forward and they would become stronger and stronger and stronger and we don't know the limits. to that we don't know the limits of that and then you could say well in part maybe the reason why you are suffering unbearably can lie at your feet because you are not all that you could be and you know it and of course that is It's a terrible thing to to admit and it's a terrible thing to consider, but there's real promise in it, because it means that maybe there's another way you could see the world, another way you could act in the world, so what would it be? reflecting on you would be much better than what is reflected on you now.
My experience is with people who were probably running at about 51% of our capacity, something that means you can think about this yourself. I often ask college students how many hours a day you waste or how many hours a week you waste and the classic answer is something like four to six hours a day, you know, inefficient, studying, watching things on YouTube that no, no you want to see, that you don't even care, that they make you feel. horrible about watching after you're done, it's probably four hours right there, no, what do you think? Well, it's 2,025 hours a week, it's a hundred hours a month, it's two and a half weeks of full work, it's half a year of work weeks per year, and if your time is worth twenty dollars an hour, which is a radically underestimation;
It's probably more like fifty if you think about it in terms of deferred wages, if you waste 20 hours a week, you're wasting fifty thousand dollars a year and to do that right now and it's because you're young, spending fifty thousand dollars a year is a very catastrophic greater than it would be for me to waste it because I'm not going to last that long, so if your life isn't everything it could be, you might wonder what would happen if you stopped wasting the opportunities in front of you you would be who knows how much more efficient ten times more efficient twenty times more efficient that is the purrito distribution you have no idea how efficient efficient people understand that it is completely out of the ordinary and if we all act together and stop making things worse because that is another thing that people do everything time, not only do they not do what they should to improve things, but they actively try to do so.
They make things worse because they are spiteful or resentful or arrogant or deceitful or homicidal or genocidal, or all of those things put together in one absolutely pathological package, if people actually start trying to make things worse, we have no idea how much better. they would get it just for that, then there is this strange dynamic that is part of the existential system of ideas between human vulnerability, social judgment, which are our main causes of suffering, and the failure of individuals to take the responsibility that they know they should. adopt. It is not simply that your destiny depends on whether or not you act and to what extent you decide that you are going to live your own genuine self;
It's not just your destiny, it's the destiny of everyone you know. We're connected and you know you think well there's nine billion people in the world by the way we're going to peak at about nine billion and then it's going to decline rapidly but seven billion people in the world and who are you? ? You're just a tiny speck of dust among those seven billion, so it doesn't really matter what you do or don't do, but that's simply not the case, it's the wrong model because you're at the center of a network. a node in a network, of course, that is even more true now that we have social networks, you will know that you will meet a thousand people at least throughout your life and they will meet a thousand people each and that puts you a person of a million and two people out of a billion and that's how you are connected and the things that you do there, like dropping a stone in a pond, the ripples move outward and affect things in ways that you can't completely. understand and it means that the things you do and the things you don't do are much more important than you think and therefore if you act that way, of course, the horror of realizing is that it actually starts to matter what you do. you do and what you do.
I might say, well, that's better than living a meaningless existence, it better matter, but I mean, if you really ask yourself, would you be so sure if you had the choice? I can live without any responsibility, the price I pay is that nothing matters or I can reverse it and everything matters, but I have to take the responsibility associated with the fact that it is not so obvious to me that people would take the meaningful path now when you say that The deniers suffered terribly because there is no meaning in their lives and they still suffer. yeah, but the benefits don't come with any responsibility, so that's the reward and I actually think that's the motivation.
I mean, well, I can't help but be a nihilist, all my belief systems have collapsed. It's like, maybe you just let them collapse because it's a hell of a lot easier than acting and the price you pay is pointless suffering, but you can always complain about it and people will feel sorry for you and you have the option to take the martyr's path, so it's a good deal. All things considered, especially when the alternative is to carry your burden properly and live frankly in the world, what Solzhenitsyn discovered and so many people in the 20th century discovered is not just him, although he is the best example, is that if you live a pathological life, you pathologize your anxiety and if enough people do that then it really is hell and you can read the Gulag Archipelago if you have the fortitude of four tits to do that and you will see exactly what hell is like and then you can decide if that is a place you would like to visit or even more importantly if it is a place you would like to visit and take all your family and friends because that is what happened in the 20th century.
