I was thinking more in the line of classical philosophy. You have cartesianism and classical geometry shaped line of thinking on one side and taoist, confucionist, budhist line of thinking on the other. Modern Japan is reshaped orient with ocidental cultural values, so sorry to use terms that can be misleading because i've failed to give a clear context of what i mean. And you are right in the sense that some cultures are better than others to face uncertainty with a tenacious spirit. the US culture is also good at this (despite the mixing of both), but my criticism is more target in the sense we need more awareness of uncertainty and where our tools of measure are limited and cannot reach. People facing the uncertainty with a brave spirit can be deceived to think people judging them can measure them correctly and that some judgements are final. Its pretty hard to be the one facing uncertainty, and to be judged by things the other side might not have to right tools to do it right. Not forgeting, in the context we are talking about, a HN board would probably be the best to understand and to predict a lot of things correctly. But my guess is that we need more awareness and understand more a kind of philosophy that in my point of view, is more advanced to undertand problems that are beyond mesure and pratical reason.
