You are now aware that the japanese haven't invented anything of importance ever.

They can only copy existing inventions and work on them like fanatics.

>> No.1654072

This matters why?

>> No.1654077

and you are now aware that they have the second largest economy in the world... and are gaining on us

> second largest economy

wait what? I thought it was China (unless we count EU as one country) after the US?

>> No.1654085

It's only a general impression that the japanese work on them like fanatics, which the media wants you to believe, the real fanatics are the original nation of creaton...

Could the same be said for the Chinese?

>> No.1654101

personally i always felt that improvement on existing technologies is better for the world then inventing new technologies

>> No.1654106

>>1654098

Definitely not. The chinese invented the fuck out of everything, but then the mongols killed everything and the europeans later caught up and surpassed them.
An advantage we used to fuck over the rest of the planet. Sorry about that.

Improving the art of bloodletting is better than inventing penicillin how?

Also you can tell me how a masterfully designed sword is superior to a pistol.

I think not.

since you insist on using ancient technologies as an example, howabout improving agriculture (to feed the people) as opposed to inventing swords (to pillage and steal to feed the people)?

>> No.1655709

Yep, thats my interpretation.

Americans love to invent new shit, but we dont work on our previous technologies, so we come out with lots of fancy new awesome things, but they dont work that great.

Japanese take proven technologies and perfect them. So theyre not coming out with a bunch of new crazy things, but they make what already exists into the way they should have always been.

I notice this in cars, if you get in a toyota, all the controls and features are almost identical to every other toyota. But when you get in a ford, every fucking thing in the car is different than every other fucking ford. Sure it makes for better individuality in each car, but in the end, toyotas are better because everything in them works.

No, no, the Japanese are normal now; they found out chickens and cows framed whales and dolphins so they started killing chickens and cows instead.

They invented the samurai code and the samurai sword, with all sorts of technology for making swords and bows, including the first use of steel, and ingenious uses of combining alloys of high and low carbon steels.

Later they invented the walkman, which revolutionized how people listened to music. They invented Kareoke. They invented Sudoku. The remain the only men man enough to hunt whales.

>The Chinese, who had been producing cast iron from the late Spring and Autumn Period (722–481 BC), produced steel by the 2nd century BC through a process of decarburization, i.e. using bellows to pump large amounts of oxygen on to molten cast iron.[495]
