AI was shocked! The "world's most terrifying country" was... Japan!

"The most frightening people in the world are the Japanese"
The moment those words were spoken, a cold silence fell over the cutting-edge AI laboratory.
The scientists' eyes were glued to the screen and not a single person could speak.

This is a story that is a little hard to believe, but actually happened at a research institute in Japan.

Why on earth did they conclude that the AI fears "Japanese people"?
And why were elite researchers from around the world silent about the results?
There lies an incredible power hidden within that which we Japanese take for granted so much that we don't even notice it.

The ability to read the mood silenced the world

In the West, "individual freedom" and "rationality" are considered the most important things, and it is believed that society will progress from there.
On the other hand, "reading the mood," "understanding the atmosphere," "giving priority to the group"...
Such Japanese values are often misunderstood as "hindering creativity."

However, a next-generation AI developed by an international joint development team at a research institute in Tokyo has overturned this conventional wisdom.

This AI is a self-evolving hologram created to explore "the happiest and most sustainable social model" based on social data from countries around the world.
It is truly a lab of the future where the world's best minds come together.

First of all, it was as expected...

When the AI began evaluating each country, the first to receive a high rating was, as expected, the United States.
Liberal democracy, market competition, balanced social welfare, individual freedom and creativity...the list is full of evaluations that make Japan a "winning nation."

Just as everyone nodded in agreement, the AI then switched screens and said, "Now let's look at Japan's evaluation."

Only Japan topped the chart.

Items displayed included "the value of life," "social harmony," and "collective stability."
Amazingly, Japan's score was more than double that of other countries!
The AI spoke calmly:

Japanese society's harmony, value of life, and cooperativeness surpass those of other countries.
A model based on conformity rather than individuality dramatically lowers social costs.
The Japanese decision-making model is extremely skilled in information processing, crisis management, and maintaining order.

In other words, Japan has a culture of avoiding conflicts before they occur, and as a society there is less waste.

Is the 'most frightening country' the one with the most hope for the future?

AI finally spoke:

"Terrifying" means having the greatest influence on the future of humanity.

For us Japanese, the ability to "understand," "read the mood," and "sense without words" is natural.
From the perspective of other countries, this is a unique phenomenon that is truly "otherworldly."

Don't fight, don't reject, be supportive and accept.
This may be an important teaching that the Japanese gods have bestowed upon us.

The next skill that AI will seek is "Japanese spirituality"

What was most shocking was what this AI listed as "the abilities necessary for its future evolution."
That was... "the ability to read the atmosphere."

Finally, the cutting edge of science has turned its attention to the ``invisible power'' of the Japanese people.

The spirit of harmony that we unconsciously cherish is the key to the future in the age of AI.
Perhaps we Japanese have a mission to lead the world towards harmony.

Conclusion: Believe in the "Japan" inside you

"Reading the mood is such a hassle."
"Maybe it's okay to show more of myself."

There are times when I feel that way.
However, that very "atmosphere" may be a treasure that is yet to be discovered by the world.
With this spirituality, we can lead the way into the future.
