True, but the anime of the early 20th century was not even slightly related to the post WW2 industry.

You have to remember that the word anime in general just applies to animation, which Japanese filmmakers did experiment with early on, yes, but the industry and the art style that we know of anime today is a result of western influence.

Even old Japanese art from the 1800's had women having sex with octopi. Japanese art has always had a weird side. This outcome was inevitable with anime. There would just be different paths to the same destination.

Because we're secretly all Asian and these people are just showing their true forms

You two are arguing with very flawed ideas of knowledge and education.
Being able to use notes on a test is irrelevant; regardless of having the information in your head (via studying those very notes) or having in front of you, the main goal of testing is putting answers to questions, regardless of where the information came from.

My point is that, in workplace situations, having the knowledge in your head is a lot more useful than having it written down somewhere, especially in careers where the knowledge is more of a 'supporting' or 'foundational' type.

That wasn't a strawman, you dolt. You said, that its no use having an exam where a guy can consult his text books, because the book has all the answers. That was what you said, and its bullshit...

Maybe as an accountant, I will sorta grant you, that its more important to know stuff by heart, but as a doctor, you need to be able to improvise if something doesn't go perfectly according to the books. True, knowing stuff by heart is important too, but I'de posit that its atleast equally as important to able to think outside the box.

No, I never said the book has all the answers, but tests and works situations are different. E.g. it's no use having an accounting exam with the book, because you have to know the correct method of doing a sequestration without consulting the book.

E.g. if you're told that a life insurance policy is paid out during sequestration, you have to know that it counts as an expense, and how to treat it as such, unless there's information stating otherwise.

In realistic work situations you have to know things like this, you can't follow your book on it because you have to see find other people did wrong. (Also, it's a practical thing with a lot of calculations, not theory, your exam sheet has about 150 markable numbers in a 3-hour financial accounting exam)


Basically my point is, the tests are there to prove you actually possess the knowledge you need. If you need to consult books to get this knowledge while working, it makes you ungodly inefficient compared to those that don't. This applies in a lot of careers.

Are you being serious? If you are, you're a very sad individual.
If you think, that all you need, is to memorize all thats written in the book, then what good are you to a company or a research institution? Instead of hirering you, why not just buy the book? Obviously, your arguement is, that you can do nothing which isn't explicitly written in the book.

I study physics, and we're allowed to have our books with us, including all the notes we ever took, if we so please. The thing is, the exams are designed to be difficult even with this high degree of preparation, because they ask us questions which hasn't been explicitly told to us, in the courses. They ask us questions we could only hope to solve, if we have followed the course and learned everything we need to learn, and in addition to that, we know how to apply it to an arbitry situation which at first glance, might seem a bit arcane. This tests both our abillity in the given course, but also our general abillity to think outside the box and apply our knowledge to abstract situations.

If you seriously think, that what it means to be an academic, is just to memorize everything thats wirtten in the text book, then you're a sad, sad, very very sad example of the decay of the western intellectual tradition, and I honestly think you should take a long hard reevalutation of your own intellectual values.

What are 'reading comprehension' and 'strawmans'?

You went on a fucking 3 paragraph rant on something I never even said. I don't do physics, so I can't comment on that, but as an accountant, you need to know the rules by heart. You can't spot mistakes when auditing if you don't know by heart what the correct method for doing everything is. Or a doctor for example. He has to have most of the knowledge in his head, he can't refer to books every time.

Oh. I find that no spaces in hiragana can sometimes be a problem, too. Thanks for reminding me.

Fuck's sake, let's try this again:
*to figure out where words end and start it

I usually read with looking for context, well sure kanji does help but for me I don't really need to.
But then again it might also be that most Asian languages have shitloads of homophones (venom and ability are spelled and said exactly the same in Indonesian, and Mandarin, well yeah), so some Asians develop superpowers like ability to magically know what other asians mean just by context and speech (and mind reading while we're at it).
Which also explains lack of great English grammar for primarily-asian speaking languages.

In speech it's not difficult, but hiragana-only writing is really annoying to read, since you have spend time to figure out where words end and start it, making it agonisingly slow and it takes me like 3 times as long per sentence. In contrast, I read novels containing kanji at about 65-70% of my English reading speed.
