About his ego. Nothing else.

#402If nobody cared, art would not exists. Nobody would do science. Civilisations would not be built. Health care would not exists. And nobody enjoys living in a shit hole. People collectively do make decisions which are selfless, so long they know there is a positive outcome. People stop caring about something soon as they recognise their efforts is wasted or it's all for nothing.
Re: Nobody cares
#403Man, I've been the engineer in situations like that bike lane and believe me, we care. Usually the engineers care. 99% of the time the contractor had some "value engineering" suggestions that the client was all too happy to take because it saved them a little money up front. As the engineer you can try to explain that it will be shitty, but they ... don't care.
A well known CEO noted that in a failing organization he was trying to devise a turn around plan for that everyone in the organization invariably blamed... the other teams! Not a one said "our team is responsible for our failure". The engineers blamed product, the product people blamed sales, etc. He said he provided this suggestion, "You are of course right (it's the other groups fault, and it might have been so), b…
The irony is that the CEO is essentially blaming the employees in this case without listening and figuring out what the actual problem is.

With: - A declining population - Rural collapse - Stagnating economy - Shut in problem for old people Like most cultures, Japan gets some stuff right and some stuff wrong. It's not perfect. Certainly not to say US culture couldn't improve by adopting some aspects.
Your first three problems also apply to Italy. Why don't we read as much about it? I find it bizarre. (South) Korea, the same. Non-Asians just love to focus on the extreme positive and negative aspects of modern Japanese society; it is weird.
Anime and 90s propaganda from people appealing to Japanese businessmen.

Because if you don't remember the block, it'll probably ask again on the next page load.
Exactly? I may not want a site to have my location now, but I may be okay with it in the future. Eg, I’m not in a place where I want my location tagged at the moment.
Next page load aka next link you click. I agree it would be nice to have a "No, don't ask me again for this session".

#406another approach would be to take it easy and lead by good example.

#407You should not care. The universe does not need your help. Universe instantiated you in this reality in a random body in a random timeline with zero input from your side. It's just your ego that think your care actually makes any difference in this reality. The universe will continue to run creating bodies, life forms and so on. It keeps destroying and recycling stuff. Nothing is permanent. The more you care about im…
I do care. In fact, I bring a sort of "fuck it, we ball" vibe to the existentialism that nihilists don't really like.

Re: Nobody cares
#409As someone who works for a local government bureaucracy - not caring is a coping mechanism because if you let every sub-optimal thing bother you then you'd just burn out. Very few jobs are structured in a way that those directly involved can determine how things are done so there is no real value in caring about how long a process takes. Where people have some agency you might be surprised how much people do care eve…
Why doesn’t Japan have this problem?
Because it’s full of Japanese.
