The observation is interesting (and one I'd never noticed before), but I'm not sure if I agree with the conclusion.
The "American" approach of discarding what you know when you're almost defeated and "winging it" seems pretty rational to me. If what you've been doing isn't working, no matter how "correct" it might seem to be, and you're about to run out of options, perhaps it's a good time to try a new strategy.
I don't think I'd characterize that as unhealthy.
- jbm 16y agoI agree. Isn't one sign of insanity that you do the exact same thing over and over again within the same context and expect different results? I think the Japanese economy and it's various problems are related to the battleship Yamato problem (keep trying the same thing over and over even when failure is apparent)
