Explaining Japanese Civilization


Listen Later

These civilization videos require INTENSE research—I've read six books just for this one! Unlike geopolitics videos where I can fit new info into existing frameworks, each civilization demands I reach a threshold of intuitive understanding. I know these aren't my most popular uploads, but they're my passion projects. My standard: I must be able to explain a civilization's essence in one sentence or after six drinks. Next up: Central Asia and Jewish civilization!
