Out of interest, since you’re in a mood to generalise, which nation’s people are worthy of your respect for their ambition and focus?

The dutch only pretend to be tolerant so they can deviously spend all year learning your foibles and then remind you of them, at length and in company, come December.

    Burgermannetjes don't mind foreigners at all
    Because who could expect THEM to doe normaal?
(Grapje, natuurlijk! We owe dutchies a great deal: the Puritans were afraid their children would grow up too tolerant in the netherlands, and consequently hightailed it to the New World...)

Anyone like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Zuck, even Bill Gates...

Can you name 1 Japanese person who had similar ambition and commitment to large-scale projects?
