Just came back from Japan and I found it vibrant and modern.

  Did you visit the countryside? Japan has an aging problem and a big misogyny problem too.

    Name the country and I will easy find the spots where it is not vibrant and modern, and then say "did you visit those?" Say, I heard France has great cuisine, but I had street food in Paris and it was meh.

      Doesn’t change facts about Japan‘s problems. In certain parts they are just less visible.

        Avoiding cherry picking does in fact change facts.

          It doesn’t change facts. Cherry picking change the perception of facts, like your visit of Japan

    Literally every country has a countryside problem. From US to Russia to Asia to any country in Europe.

  If you went to Japan in the 90’s, 00’s or 10’s, you’ll find the issue is that Japan still feels mostly the same. It’s a wonderful country, but post-Japan’s asset bubble and crash there’s been noticeably less change.

    Why does it need to change?

    Change for the sake of change is what cancers are.
