One thing I like about Japanese culture which I don't think you can find elsewhere is the worship of craft and tradition which has survived into the modern dayI could list Japanese authors and directors for Japanese people of note, lets say Kenji Mizoguchi and Yoshida KenkōI recently watched a film called Cure by Kiyoshi Kurosawa and damn it was amazingA 9.5/10 film for meI can't stop thinking about it>>206117711>ajinomotoDamn it I should have thought of this

>>206117788But they always take it to cringe levels, until its a worship of the process itself instead of making a better product/service.You see a lot of that "folded 1000 times" mentality being wasted just for the sake of it.

>>206117503>Name a single thing invented in Japan.It doesn't really matter. I’ve come to realize that "historical contributions" aren’t what make countries respected. It’s more about how wealthy they are currently and the image they project to the world.Take India's contributions, for example>systematically develops the Hindu-Arabic numerals (0–9) with place-value notation >forms the foundation of modern arithmetic: used in every calculator, grocery bill, credit card payment, large numbers, binary computing, and digital technology (can't do any of this shit with Roman numerals)>x + (−x) = 0 made standard>paves the way for algebra and daily applications like finance and engineering>solutions for linear and quadratic equations>establishes the basis of modern numeric routines>Aryabhata advances trigonometry and algebra >introduces sine tables and systematic approaches to solving equations> Kuttaka method provides solutions for Diophantine equations>lays groundwork for modular arithmetic >underpins cryptography, secure transactions, and PIN systems>Bhaskara II’s “Lilavati” covers arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and combinatorics >foundation for interest calculations, construction, and everyday tasks>Chakravala method solves Pell’s equation, is an early step in public-key cryptography >Madhava and Kerala School work out infinite series for π, sine, and cosine>foreshadow calculus centuries before Newton >critical for modern analytics, weather models, and rocket guidanceAnd this is just the tip of the iceberghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_mathematicsAnd what's the gratitude Indians get in return for all these contributions? Insults and grotesque image spam from basement dwelling incels both on the gutters of the internet (4chan, twitter) as well as the "mainstream" internet (tiktok, instagram).So yeah, "inventions" and "contributions" don't really mean shit.
