went from their country being completely devastated to a gigantic economic powerhouse within 50 years, impressive really

we are all sharing shit with eachother...

typically most advances aren't internal

they are slowly integrated outside i n

@Реле-Небо Welcome

Japan's culture is just not outrage prone like weak minded ignorant boomers like mananimal

Dafuq you on about lol

which supports my point

god - i dont think its slow.. i think its fast... cuz people want to make $$

they want to capitalize while its hot and they are the sole distributer

you aren't following

you said their culture was broken

What's an external

d^2/dt vs d^3/dt

It wasn't they still don't give a fuck about shit

you're incorrect, as usual

aliens are external

Ye

Lol

@NinjaQuick their culture didnt totally die... but compared to what it was it got roflstomped

Ayyyy lmao

with it being the rate of change due to external factors vs rate of change due to internal factors respectively

tfw the entire EU has a GDP of 18T apparently

and its grown back up into something 90% different than it was originally

It is still absolutely what it was

Not at all

we have the modern take of their feudal culture

you still aren't following; as i said, it was a bad example and you are just elaborating on how 'bad'

they still do all the same crazy shit, still have the same social and cultural impetus

they haven't changed.

they've evolved into peak human

no i used the internet as another example, im just dipping back to japan cuz ninja ;p

but not by losing their culture

by growing its complexity

which is why i say we didn't nuke them enough

4-5 nukes would have solved the culture problem

culture is of course the universal problem

ninja you realise we arent talking about 'since we nuked them' right? that happened 100 years before we nuked them

I'm talking about since the first european missionaries arrived.

@Monstrous Moonshine can you provide the article where mr Turkheimer says that?

to try to bootstrap the example using Japan, social cohesion was a function of the values of the society which by large part revolved around the emperor. that idea was deeply ingrained into the society and the entire structure that supported it had to be destroyed for that to change. they literally has to build a new nation with a new set of core values
