This thread is for the discussion of the language, culture, travel, daily life, etc. of Japan. Let's tark at randam in Japanese, Swedish and English. Take it easy!

Full Asian is nice. Black Asian mixed look nice. White Asian mixed look weird. I don't know why.

Why it's always men who fight, not women. If there is no men in this world and there are only women, the world must be a great place.

Yukichi Fukuzawa's 人種改良論 (Theory of Racial Improvement)
"A disparity between Japan and the west is not only because of culture and technology, but also because of intelligence and physical."
"So, to obtain superior physical and intelligence, we should be racially mixed with the west and improve Japanese race."

We Japanese are agree with him.

No it doesn't. 憂さ
Japan has a pretty high average IQ. What exactly are you improving?
Joseph Lee
No we don't agree at all. First of all, that crazy book was not written by Yukichi Fukuzawa. He didn't write such a shitty book. That book was written by a crazy guy Yoshio Takahashi. So nobody thought it was a joke and nobody took it seriously.
Have you looked IQ exam results by countries? Their average IQ is lower than the average east Asians.
And if you really want a superior race, just mix with pure German (not immigrants). But I don't recommend it at all. International marriages end unhappily in general.

East Asians tend to do well on IQ tests just because they are familiar with similar quizzes. It became popular in 1970-80s.

"The white race. Their looking, body and everything is beautiful. They have very wise mind. That nature explains well why they could reach the acme of human culture. They are the most superior race of mankind." (掌中万国一覧, 1869)
Dominic Adams
Evidence shows that IQ changes minimally with age and education. There are culturally independent tests like Raven's Progressive Matrices that can't possibly look like any test someone takes in school. As far as I know the result is replicated among all kinds of tests.
Lincoln Foster
We are used to all kinds of tests.
Nathaniel Nelson
I assume you mean 下る(くだる). The differences aren't very subtle at all. I'm sure you'll learn from context if you watch enough anime. You say that, but the science says that test taking and education doesn't improve IQ significantly.
Jose Sanchez
>test someone takes in school That's not what I meant by "quiz." We read books or magazine articles or watch TV programs about "how to measure IQs" for fun.
Grayson Rogers
I know . IQ test doesn't show their intelligence. Because if east asians were really smart people, they would be richer and make their land more beautiful. But east asian countries are not beautiful at all.

>We read books or magazine articles or watch TV programs about "how to measure IQs" for fun. That can't have been true when they first started IQ testing around the world. And IQ tests often measure processing time and other things that you cannot really fool that much.
Japan has shit for resources so it's not surprising you can't be richer and make your land more beautiful. Historically you've been doing pretty damn well for a nation of your size and resources.
Eli Wood
Holy fck!! He should be arrested. Is he Japanese or ???
or
Is he Korean? Koreans love to explode or destroy ritual objects or put fire on Shrines and Temples in Japan.

>you cannot really fool that much You can improve your score for any test by just getting used to it. Maybe we are "smart" in a sense that we care our intelligence and try to look smart. Western people don't care it that as much.

In most case, 下りる is for people and 下がる is for things or numbers
>階段を下りる going down the stairs
>値段が下がる the price is going down
There are some cases that both 下がる and 下りる works fine. >Is this elevator going down? >このエレベーター下がる?/このエレベーター下りる? These are both correct.
Nathan Jones
No, there are a lot of cognitive abilities that cannot be improved significantly even with training. Maybe 5 points at most. Have you actually taken an IQ test given by a real psychologist? I have. The literature strongly supports that repeated IQ testing and practice does not significantly raise IQ score.
Jonathan Cruz
>The literature strongly supports that repeated IQ testing and practice does not significantly raise IQ score. I'll check. Until then us being smart remains as a fact.

Well it would not be the first time a Japanese guy stripped naked in public. Why you guys strip naked when you drunk (or even not) anyway? Like students who thought it was a good idea to run around naked at the school festival of their university (my exchange university), some students that wanted to play naked soccer with my friend after club activities (same university), my female friend who said her male coworkers where stripping during karaoke, Tsuyoshi Kusanagi's scandal.. Dafuq man.
