@leeknowlton@dhh I've lived here for 30 years. Of course there are exceptions. But it's far from the utopia it's made out to be. But maybe following the masses is a better approach? This cleaning up thing isn't the norm in general society.
True. Maybe it's a better social construct here. This mentality doesn't seem to drive innovation though. Just more and more money printing. There must be a better balance somewhere in between.
It's the marketing of Japan as some utopia that rubs me the wrong way lately! (And the masks...)
I have zero tolerance for dads who show up on vacation, immediately crack and cold one, and then spend hours observing the fun their kids are having from a chair instead of being a part of it.
You can choose numbness or you can choose to make memories. You don't get the time back.
$MSTR Is the biggest Bitcoin buyer and the biggest Bitcoin loser. Strategy has been buying Bitcoin for over five years, and so far that "investment" has netted an unrealized $12 billion loss. If a genius like @saylor can't even make money in Bitcoin why should anyone else try?
Do roads, schools, and security prove government is necessary - or does the state rely on the wealth created by private producers first?

In just ten months, the 10-year JGB yield has risen to over 2.8%, the highest in 29 years. The 30-year yield is above 4% for the first time ever. This is a real crash in the making, and the shockwaves will extend well beyond Japan. All fiscal chickens are coming home to roost.
The fairest argument is that banning screens in schools is marginal: I agree. Parental culture matters the most
The next Anxious Generation movement needs to push a full analog culture at home: Physical media ONLY
This is my personal goal in the next few years
Japan's biggest problem is they suck at software, have always sucked at software and will keep sucking at software
Now that the most important thing is AI, which Taiwan builds the chips for with memory from Korea, they completely missed the boat on the hardware part (which they used to be still good at)
And because they can't do software, they're going to alienate the last of their customers with AI features that suck because they can't do software
