On Japanese society

The confession on the past bigotry is sometimes important for people who were active on the cyber space. Maybe the thing is the life itself tend to be backward incompatible, so the maxim defines that you cannot make any single mistake. Yet besides the online community issues, human species in general is always exposed to a lot of risks. Our people had been free from the war-like situations yet so large amount of people are murdered, tortured, or starved to death, including tiny kids on the daily basis. Natural disasters threaten us, flood or any other phenomenon can easily deprives the lives of thousand people.

Now, a lot of ordinary citizens live their daily stuffs without taking these risk-oritented existential reality into account. Especially our people are affected too much by the education that we are not allowed to think and act by ourselves. We really love to think as mass entity. Any deviations can be the cause of the severe social sanction. I know there are ying and yang in this traditional indigenous mindset, but it distracts us from the real world often. Our society deployed individualism yet just partially. Our mindset is not still not that of the individualism at all. Japanese middle class has the mindset of collectivism.

They really fear to make mistakes. Or, they try to expel and socially criminalize those deviated people, and we've seen that kind of thought process via the media agitation or politics. Look at what is going on in the congress. DPJ or else bashes LDP yet they are not doing discussion but they are trying to find any errors ardently and renounce them with these. Alas! What a demagogy but such emotional boolean thing and to not to consider with reason could harm the pubic decision process.

If the community is not accepting the weiros, the people who can function well in specific fields but not ordinary are selected in our ecosystem. If you are left handed, you are enforced to convert to the right hand. If you are too self-conscious and uploaded bunch of photos in your teenage period, you cannot live any longer because of the cyber bullying. The socially unfit populations has something ordinary people do not have. Some ADHD guy/girl are really intellectual in some field. Yet our community bashes and denies and make fun of them every single second persistently and try to silence them.

I think all people are gifted in some aspects. Yet majority often has the prejudice that people who are gifted in not ordinary way as a retard who do not deserve to be involved in the society.

This status quo is totally opposite to individualism. Individualism is the role-based community in which all members respect each other, do not judge each other because of the inability of doing something ordinary. A guy who now become famous musician who follows me on twitter said he previously personally had contempt on the guy who posted his photo on line. He said the rule has been changed in a decade. Yet it is untrue: you thought that way because you did not know what the reality was. Succeeded Youtubers knew that prejudice as BullShit so they did their own business and succeeded. Also, the people living in the nation who invented the www. has not give any fuck to that stuff and they posted their photo even decades ago. You know what Facebook is, so the thing is that musician boy was immersed into the asian superstition. That is it.

Diversity is always the key to the something new.

Hope our nation can deploy individualism in the appropriate way and evolve more.
