I cannot help to lament in the lack of ambition from Japanese people nowadays.

They seem content with cute ideas which has little relevance to major global problems and tech advancement. They still have a top notch scientific and research system, and produce great results every year.

But they seem completely lost the drive for building the actual things that can affect people.

Put this in perspective, aside from a fan service, and commercial benefits, what’s the point of a actual size gundam model that can move?

Out of interest, since you’re in a mood to generalise, which nation’s people are worthy of your respect for their ambition and focus?

The dutch only pretend to be tolerant so they can deviously spend all year learning your foibles and then remind you of them, at length and in company, come December.

    Burgermannetjes don't mind foreigners at all
    Because who could expect THEM to doe normaal?

(Grapje, natuurlijk! We owe dutchies a great deal: the Puritans were afraid their children would grow up too tolerant in the netherlands, and consequently hightailed it to the New World...)

Anyone like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Zuck, even Bill Gates...

Can you name 1 Japanese person who had similar ambition and commitment to large-scale projects?
