It's happening everywhere.  We can't love each other any more.  Alfonso Cuaron was right.  Actually, whoever wrote the novel was right, but we can't read anymore either.

Actually, it's a very good article.

QuoteInside, she takes me upstairs to her "relaxation room" – a bedroom with no furniture except a double futon. "It will be quiet in here," she says. Aoyama's first task with most of her clients is encouraging them "to stop apologising for their own physical existence".

That, and a few other quotes, sum up the situation pretty well.  Everything is so hateful today--the world at large, everyone toward everyone else, and even themselves--that it's no surprise that people can't be comfortable with others any longer, and only with themselves because they have no choice.

It's the fault of Protestantism, which is basically gnosticism. If God has no flesh, why should we?

Fucking gnostics.

Don't think it would explain Japan.

No, it's capitalism, which is basically slavery.

Capitalism, which didn't exist before Protestantism, and which is, therefore, supra, gnosticism.

It's post-Christian mainly. True Believers are still happy to rut about and plop out 3 or more children.

I blame the Japanese economy.  Women are attracted to men who are successful/famous/rich, or men who are dangerous.  Japan is famously conformist, so not many dangerous men, and Japan's economy is stagnating, so few men are successful.

Personally, I am much more concerned with the older-American-men-are-not-having-sex-anymore phenomenon.

I would like to get married and have children, but it's just too troublesome--for my prospective wife and potential kids. <_<

Protestantism seems to go hand in hand with capitalism.  Japan aside, I am willing to agree that we are both right.

Tell me about it.  Like I need to build more bridges of my bullshit across multiple stakeholder silos.

You're a good man Scip.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

You make a good point.  You should engage in some fire-related demonstration to really burn the message in the public's collective psyche.

That has absolutely nothing to do with Japan in particular and everything to do with human evolution.
