Great interview. What a rare interlude with Mr. Iyer, whom I have been following, and reading for several years now.

This was a stupid video & the commentary by the interviewee was superficial & just a bunch of hot air. Kurt Anderson perpetuates Japan as some mystical place of an ‘other world’. He could not even pronounce Kyoto correctly. Pico (whoever that is) says that Japan was the most alien place he knows on this earth. Perhaps he is alien and Japan is not. He perpetuates and tries to instill false ideas about Japan, culture, society and how they came about. Stop making Japan an alien, exotic, and different. Appreciate that it is different than what you recognize. Hopefully I will not have to watch one of these 360 ‘smoke jobs’.
