You’re right to point out that Japan is a global treasure its beauty, order, and deeply rooted traditions are something the West could stand to learn from. When a culture prioritizes discipline, respect, and community, you get clean streets, low crime, and safe cities. That didn’t come from chaos it came from structure and shared values. But here’s the irony: the same ultra-modern, hyper-efficient society that keeps everything running so smoothly is now running low on one essential thing people. Birth rates aren’t just a statistic; they’re the pulse of a civilization. And when a society stops building families, it slowly starts losing itself. In the West, we’re heading in the same direction—obsessing over comfort, avoiding responsibility, and letting go of the foundations that once made us strong. Meanwhile, those who still value tradition faith, family, identity are the ones actually building the future. This isn’t about nostalgia. It’s about survival. The real “progress” is in people choosing to love, commit, and build families again. Because if we don’t pass on our values, someone else’s will take their place.If you have visited Japan, you understand what a wonderful world treasure we collectively have on this planet.
History, Culture, Cuisine, Landscape, and Safe Cities of 20+ million with little or no crime. Single women or men can walk down inner city alleys at 2am to the next karaoke bar with no fear of crime, drugs, homeless encounters, etc. We in the west have no clue how to deal with “complicated challenges”, but the Japaneese are not perpetual victims to societal woes.
The curse of this practicality and progressive macro-culture is that PEOPLE JUST AREN’T FUCKING ENOUGH! Much easier to flirt with an AI anime than get down and dirty on the tatami and start a family.
This is a systemic cultural problem that is in part taking foothold in North America too. Immigrants are far more likely to procreate and create new citizens than stalwarts of current society. No judgement—just recognizing the real demographic shifts are of our own doing. Europe has transited on a grander scale then we have seen. Massive demographic shits underway. We will see how that plays out. Procreation trends are a THING.
