    It's funny how the repressive policies Meiji Japan put against civil society in Japan were so similar to what they implemented in Korea and in other Japanese colonies.

    Thanks! Glad you found it helpful. Harvey's lectures are great too. Re. Marx in Japan, yes Marxist economics have been more widely taught here throughout much of the 20th century than in places like the US for example. Many economists give complex analyses utilizing some of Marx's concepts, without fully ascribing to his actual theory of class struggle or revolution.

    Thank you so much for your talk on this gem of a book. I am from England and have always had a sneeking suspicion that capitalism in its origin is an English home-grown rather than global phenomenon (although it rapidly became global for reasons you have discussed). There is so much about our individualistic, transactional mentality and our unquestioning acceptance of the absolute right to private property that is explained by Meiksin's thesis. The destruction of communal land traditions and practices due to the enclosures may have provided large quantities of cheap food, but it also tore up our social fabric and our environment, a process which is ongoing today. This model was then exported all over the world by our imperial ambitions. The United States is its main torch-bearer today of course.

    I will check my text for exact Japanese used when I can get to my office next (may be a while). I'm sure he just means money was used widely used and in circulation. Even so, money economy is not the same thing as capitalism. It's just a rather mundane fact that various currencies were used in pre-capitalist societies.

    The Earths Climate changes and has for millions of years through solar minimums, maximums and the Milankovitch cycles. Before the minimum the solar dynamo ramps up, stretches and compresses that toroidal field of the sun causing sunspots to occur. At the peak of the cycle before a minimum with a diminished magnetic field will not be able to trap the charged particles and magnetic fields that will be released 360° and cause the entire Earth to go dark for decades. When that happens those nuclear reactors no longer receive cooling water and all go into meltdown at the same time. Yeah, real smart...

    In the lecture, I mention that one of the reasons JPN hangs on to nuclear power is because it needs the reactors to demonstrate that it can quickly manufacture nuclear weapons. You can read more about this in Koide Hiroaki's 2012 book "Genpatsu to kenpo kyujo." For a short non-academic summary in English, I found this NBC news (of all places!) article: www.nbcnews.com/storyline/fukushima-anniversary/japan-has-nuclear-bomb-basement-china-isn-t-happy-n48976

    🤣 Alpha nucleus particle beta electron particle gamma ray x ray. At the end of both alpha and beta decay modes there is a gamma photon release. Transuranic and radionuclide evaporation equilibrium coefficients show water soluble elements and isotopes bond with molecules and travel around the planet with tritium being the worst as its radioactive hydrogen and a half-life of 12 years. This gives it 12 years to get inside each one of us and every single water cooled reactors release tritium normally. The inverse square law ASSUMES a singular point source in a vacuum that emits isotropically. ANYTHING outside of these parameters, such as an ATTENUATING SOURCE, EXTENDED SOURCE, DISTRIBUTED SOURCE will not yield the same 4*pi*R2 principles needed for any radiation detection device. The only device that shows us what making the ionizing events to occur is a mass spectrometer and it to also has the same issue and why we don't know the proper levels. Every cause of cancer is unknown billions of cases. Since every cause of every cancer is unknown than any and all points trying to be made with cancer are null and void. Until a list with every different cause with the totals in those categories then no debate can be made for the use of nuclear materials.

  • @paulmobleyscience
    @paulmobleyscience3 жыл бұрын

    let me explain it in a way you can understand. Money since thats all your here about. Ok are you ready Craig? So in this discussion quarters will be causes of cancer caused by ionizing radiation, dimes will be causes of cancer that are caused by Radon, nickels will be causes of cancer caused by smoking and pennies will be all other causes. Now the TOTAL money you have is 10 dollars. Last year at this time you had 10 dollars as well and broken down you had 32 quarters,10 dimes, 10 nickels and 50 pennies. So now this year you have 10 dollars as well so with your thought then the amount of the different coins didnt change at all. EXCEPT now you have 28 quarters, 15 dimes, 15 nickels, 75 pennies. As you can see the TOTAL didnt change but every single factor of different types of coins changed. So, simply put your meme of TOTAL(10 DOLLARS) cancer cases has nothing to do with one SINGLE( QUARTERS, DIMES, NICKELS, PENNIES) cause of cancer. If you cant understand that then you have no buisness being here harassing people.

    In 70 years nuclear is only 12% of our energy needs and mearly a subsidy. Every reactor could be turned off and no one would ever notice. Tell us, Geiger salseman, explain to the good people of this video just how a geiger is calibrated using the inverse square law and how that law to is also used in the measurement process. Then explain how Gamma attenuation works and what the geiger does to TRY to combat that, then tell everyone how dead time works and then quenching. And then finally but not least of all explain S saturation and how it affects the tubes efficiency especially in an extended source. Replace the word geiger with every other radiation detection device and explain for each as well, this should be good. We will be waiting for you Craig

    ✋ Two questions if I may: 1. You mentioned that Japan had to follow the US model from the time of Koizumi. Can you elaborate (or give some examples) of the mechanics of foreign influence (eg gaiatsu) on Japanese choosing neoliberalism, especially pre-Plaza? 2. You claim that Japan has a near-zero corporate tax rate (I think you must have said "effective", since there certainly IS a corporate tax). Can you substantiate this? For example in Fukuoka the corporate tax rate is 22%, which is 8% less than the average of the regular tax rate in other parts of Japan. That is because Fukuoka is a National Strategic Special Zone. What are the major subsidies/loopholes/etc to get Japanese corporate tax to "effectively zero"? Thanks!

  • @aukemajk
    @aukemajk3 жыл бұрын

    Hi, thanks so much for watching and for your great questions! I'm not sure I will be able to fully and satisfactorily answer them, but I will try. 1. Pre-Plaza (i.e. 1985) is a bit tricky since neoliberalism was still in its infancy. I don't know exactly whether it can be categorized as 'neoliberal' per-se, but the US getting JPN to shift to floating exchange rate in the early 1970s was pretty huge. If we're just talking about foreign influence outside the framework of neoliberalism, the list is too exhaustive to catalogue. But, for instance, the yen was artificially pegged to the dollar at, I think something like 3.85 for years before this in order to assist JPN exports from which the US benefited. Post Plaza, if you'd like a specific breakdown of the US policy recommendations to JPN, I recommend taking a look at the Annual Reform Recommendations which are available in English and Japanese on the US Embassy website. They clearly spell out directives to liberalize and deregulate various sectors, including privatization of the post. americancenterjapan.com/aboutusa/usj/5046/ 2. Yes you're right thank you for pointing that out. Certainly I should have said "effective." I am summarizing research on this which is quite blunt about major JPN corps. "effectively" not paying taxes, so it's easy to get carried away. I can point to two studies which are a must to understand more about this. The first is from Inoue Shin on the Asia-Pacific Journal: Japan Focus. apjjf.org/2018/6/INOUE.html Inoue introduces the work of another scholar, Tomioka Yukio, who wrote a book in JPN which basically translates as "Big Companies Who Don't Pay Taxes (Zeikin o harawanai kyodai kigyo)." Inoue summarizes: "Tomioka Yukio, emeritus professor of Chuo University, points out that Japan’s effective corporate tax rate (taken as the average rate at which a business is taxed on earned income) appears to be above the averages (as of 2014) 17% in Singapore, 23% in the UK, and 24.2% in the special district of Seoul, South Korea. This does not, however, mean that corporations actually pay at these levels. Tomioka discusses large corporate tax avoidance, in which many corporations pay typically around 20%, and some even as low as 1%. For example, the effective corporate tax rate (as of 2014) was 0.001% for Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, 0.003% for SoftBank, and 6.91% for Fast Retailing, otherwise known for Uniqlo" (Inoue 2018). Hope this helps! Thanks again for your questions. And for pointing out about Fukuoka's unique economic position. I will research more on this.

    @@aukemajk Thank you for the answers. 1. "Pre-Plaza (i.e. 1985) is a bit tricky since neoliberalism was still in its infancy" Exactly, that is why I asked. I didn't realize that it had started that early, and while Japan was still a rising power (ie. not the typical austerity advice one would expect say after the bubble collapsed). Good point about the ARRs and the pressure to depeg the currency. There were obviously all sorts of geoeconomic strategy reasons for the US to pressure Japan into reforming at that time that muddy the waters in terms of drawing a straight ideological line to neoliberalism. Later though, during Koizumi or even just before with the rise of the "new" conservatives, neoliberalism was pretty much baked in, no? Can we say that it was an ideological plank in their platform by then? Can we even put our finger on a specific turning point, thinker, politician? 2. That Tomioka reference was just what I was looking for. Thank you!
