The Japanese paper culture is pretty wild. They use them to make fusuma (sliding doors), decorative strips, gift wrapping, etc. And like they say in the report they've done this since forever. There was once a time in history when the rest of the world was stuck using solid shutters instead of superior paper windows. BTW the reporter looks like Cotten Hill if he was real, and actually fought in all those wars. I'm quite surprised they had him hosting the video. I'm curious what decisions led to this.

Inclusion. In the UK, especially on the BBC, there is a lot of inclusion. We don't tend to hide or limit people based on disabilities or differences. There is a fully blind guy that does a lot of political reporting for example. It can be a little bit box ticky some times, but if people of all walks of life are represented, differences are less outside of the norm, I guess?

I hope positively surprised :) That's Paul Carter - he's a regular presenter on the BBC, particularly their tech show "BBC Click". Here's a nice interview (https://disabilityhorizons.com/2019/09/paul-carter-journalist-and-senior-producer-with-a-disability-for-the-bbc/ https://disabilityhorizons.com/2019/09/paul-carter-journalis...) he gave to Disability Horizons a few years ago about his experiences.
