Have the Japanese contributed to history in any meaningful way?

My nigger... what kinda of retarded question is that? The site we use is an American spin-off of a Japanese site

>>18094981 (OP)
Hai

No, they havent

They would have rotted away as a third world nation without the aid of the US

Almost every important invention theyve made was built on the back of western geniuses

What do you think anglo boy?

I find it funny that everyone conveniently forgets that Japan was opposed to Nazi Germany's antisemitic belifes

It's a country that fakes everything

>>18095455
Whaaaaat but I thought only China faked economic stats democracysisters???

>>18095459
Japan isn't too different from China at all

>>18094991
Every country starts their development by copying others who have developed. China and Korea do the same. You can't expect developing countries to develop everything originally from scratch.

It's been 150 years since the meiji revolution and nothing of note has come from Japan in theoretical and cutting edge science. You will never find a Japanese name in your university lecture slides. It's a White man's world and you're living in it.

Why lie like this bot?

>>18095493
Name one Japanese who is as influential as newton, maxwell, huygens, bohr, laplace, cauchy, gauss, euler, einstein, von neumann, boltzmann, marie curie, erdos, fermi, volta, abel, mendeleev, markov, kolmogorov

>>18095507
You just rambled a list off of many people from many different ethnic groups and states.

>>18095523
>from many different ethnic groups and states.
Yes, and all of them (Britain, France, Norway, Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Hungary, Russia) have at least one person who would rank above every Japanese person ever in overall importance.

>>18094981 (OP)
Why is there not a single painting from Germany? Netherlands needs to have a Rembrant painting. Did that zigger HIVan make this image?

By the way the japanese painting is the best out of all of these

>>18095543
Cope. Asians can't into science. It's exclusively a White man's activity.

>>18095546
Then why did america refuse to prosecute Unit 731 scientists in exchange for their research, huh?

>>18095546
Is that why China has surpassed the US and EU in scientific output?

>>18095546
>blocks your path

>>18095557
Implessive. Now show me the retraction numbers.
>>18095560
Yes, it makes sense for an oriental to not actually understand a White man's invention such as science and substitute with it their usual wanton cruelty.

>>18095565
Even accounting for retraction, China still surpasses every single European country. Japan every European country except the UK and Germany, and South Korea just behind France. If it's the white mans field, why do most white countries suck so bad at it? Why are East Asian countries so good at it?

Le ecking animoo

Japanese art (and art from Eastern Asia in general), although technically behind compared to European works, is still incredibly aesthetically pleasing (in its own stylized way). Even I (a person who tends to prefer realism) can find charm and craftsmanship in art that strays away from our reality. And even then, to say Japanese art isn't constructed well would be disingenuous. East Asians were still far ahead of many ethnic groups, technologically and artistically.

>>18094981 (OP)
>the more realistic a painting is the gooder it is
Why is this thinking so widespread among retards?

>>18096111
It might be due to the oversaturation of liberal/postmodern/abstract art. Most modern people, despite knowing nothing about the artistic process, have odd, autistic-like reactions whenever they see any classical art that strays away from the hyperrealism of the renaissance period.
It's kind of sad, because that kind of thinking sort of undermines paintings that employ realism as well. It all becomes a matter of some hyper-specific aesthetic. Any meaning the painting has gets washed away in favor of analyzing the work in a literal, technical sense.

>>18095623
>Why are East Asian countries so good at it?
Something something they lack soul or some shit.
You know every single weird complex and cope about black athletes that many western sports commentaries have spouted for decades? Its exactly like that bit you can swap out some words here and there adlibs-style.

>>18094981 (OP)
Yes

>>18095464
Japan is safe and high trust. China is corrupt and low trust. Not at all similar

Anime website, newfag

>>18095507
Many Japanese people have won the Nobel prize. Three Japanese invented the blue LED and got a Nobel for it, something which you are staring at right now.

>>18097757
Share names and sources or it didnt happen

>>18097671
Japan isn't high trust. They stopped believing in the government ages ago
>China is corrupt and low trust. Not at all similar
China doea do major crackdowns on corruption but ti's massive state so corruption comes in waves. Akin to the tide. In regards to trust on the state that too depends on which part of China and what government level in question

>>18097674
>Anime website, newfag
Hasn't been the case for years. Like you do know it's been ~21 years right?

>>18094981 (OP)
Anime and sushi is nicu. Also dont forget about Hentai

>>18097970
NTA but 4chan expanding from anime doesn't somehow remove the site's original culture.

>>18095464
They both managed to live in this one though? In China the car would've exploded and killed everyone there in a fiery, battery powered inferno.

>>18094991
They started like that but bloomed into a unique, world-leading culture.
You have to give them props for that, it takes souls to actually stop copying and start building something from your own with the knowledge you gain from copying.
China still haven't got over this hump

>>18094989
It isn't as technically impressive but it's undeniably unique and artistic

>>18097671
Yes I'm sure you've lived in both countries and have special insight into this issue.

Is japan even real

>>18098667
>Implying you have to live somewhere to know about it
Retarded argument

>Japan isn't high trust. They stopped believing in the government ages ago
Whether or not a society is high trust has nothing to do with "believing in the government." Japan is high trust because of it's low crime, sense of community, commonly held morals, homogeneous society etc
>China doea do major crackdowns on corruption
China's "corruption crackdowns" are just an excuse for Xi to purge potential rivals in the CCP
>In regards to trust on the state that too depends on which part of China and what government level in question
All the local governments in China are corrupt desu

>>18098667
I lived in Japan for several years and really liked it. Can't say anything about China though. Japan has plenty of issues as every country does, but I think they're grossly overexaggerated as a reaction to a few decades of weebs publicly idolizing it. All of the issues I see brought up also exist in other wealthy industrialized nations and almost always to a higher degree. Only one I can think of that's uniquely Japanese is the shit work culture. It's not really unique to them but outside of possibly Korea they're one of the worst among the first world nations. That's been getting better for them in the last few decades though. I wasn't really affected by it as I worked for an American company and was kind of outside a lot of the general customs they're expected to understand and follow.

>>18100171
>Japan is a basic first world country
B-but saaaaar, a meme flag on /pol/ told me the Japaneze fake crime statistics an sheeeit?!?!? I thought those egging nips were actually shit eaters like me-I mean like Indians saaar??!?! 4chan isn't an a-anime website, right (saaaar)?!?!?

Does sheckleburg really?

>>18100333
only on theoretical physics, even then there's goys like Planck and Heisenberg.

Anything which isn't european is shit for me.
I dont get why so many people admire asians when most of their successful countries are the ones who copied the west completely, and the ones who didn't literally have much lower pib per capita than latin american mutt countries (southeast asia specifically).

>>18094981 (OP)
Yes!
but not in the way most do, mostly by simply not getting cucked by the west. this is the history from the time it was discovered up untill ww2. then they became the model for east Asian development.
they kind of just keep Asian interests alive as nonsubordinate to western powers. it sounds small but its a lot in practice.

>>18101706
So basically, nothing?
