You have forgotten that even a blimp can be considered an aircraft, which wasn't by any mean an American invention. And even ignoring that, heavier-than-air light was a dream all of humanity had been pursuing since time immemorial, thus the Wright brothers just cobbled together what others had been postulating for centuries and made a machine out of it.

Well, the thing with Japan is that while they have extremely strong tradition and culture on their own due their isolationist position in between west and east they are forced to constantly interpret foreign influence in order to keep up with the development. Which is not really such negative thing.

Then again, the Americanisation of Japanese culture is really the biggest treachery of all. USA does even not have a culture in it's full sense and even if it has in terms of some feeble argument, it's still multicultural waste of nothingness. Most of those "weird" things that you guy consider as an oddity in Japan are the exact result of what happens when relatively conservationist-minded eastern monoculture violently collides with western multicultural mutation like USA.

I'd say that for a person that was born outside of such monoculture does lack the ability to understand that culture by default. This may seem strange to americans since when you're from a multiculture and get introduced to monoculture, whether it's totally foreign as Japan or a bit more familiar western European culture, you are an outsider no matter what.

US has no outsiders in that sense since multiculture is not in unison but rather multiple cultures more or less awkwardly co-existing under same society. It's not really even a culture in same sense as monoculture but more of a fabricated dialogue in between forcefully and random mixbred cultural memes from all over the world. Or course the point of the Usanian ideal is to uphold some sort of unity manufacture by the educational system, which is sort of hilarious double standardic effort since you have to actively to delude yourself to see some sort of unification in almost anywhere in that country. Thus they grow up pretty deluded and stupid. Anything goes.

Nice summarisation. Where on earth you got that from?

The point is simply that US education system is primarily designed to manufacture "americans" out of people who live in the states and not so much of to promote quality education. Which is a ridiculous idea since the whole US citizenship is practically a mythological nationalist concept in terms of actual real-life scrutinising of any part of that doggone society. The whole social dilemma that multiculturalism presents is being whiped under the carped and false comformity is established on forcefully manufactured ideal. For the people living in such society, if that does not promote delusional double-standard morality, I don't know what will.

China invented a lot of shit (hell, even the assembly line) then didn't use it effectively and forgot about it because they're stupid.

Japan imported ideas and then perfected them.

In the western world, America did the same thing, and it made us succeed. Intellectual property gives a country a good head start whether it's stolen or earned.

this is the only thing that is making zhina competitive now
