    japan and england, as island countries near large prosperous continents, have unique advantages for long lasting institutions. Oxford university is around 1100 years old, for example.
    Being near well populated continents allows them to exchange goods and knowledge with the greater world. And being an island makes it very hard for foreign invaders to takeover or destabilize the area.

    this is a very interesting video. I love a lot about the scope and some of the points you highlight although it's a little hard to follow the general theme and the way they all tied together.
    I also think it is very interesting and unique the way you try to relate apple and Microsoft and I do not agree at all with your framing there I don't think the math supports it. the math and data and their own words generally speaking support the notion that they try to pivot around each other and that non-competition as a goal is really what makes them work to the level of success that they have.
    I also think it's a very bold perspective that you end with because pretty much no business person or entrepreneur I've ever met or spoken to would agree with being tied to and controlled by a nation is a good thing. in fact every entrepreneur or business person I've ever heard speak on it actually advocates for the exact opposite. you are the only person I've ever come across the advocates for nationalization of business.
    also lastly this seems to be a bit clickbait because I wanted to hear about the company in the title in more detail and the entire video I kept thinking is there any second now you were going to double back to the original company teased, that Japanese construction firm.
    nonetheless it was an interesting video. perhaps I am alone in this but I think it could have used a little more focus and a little more clarity thereby

    The last points need another Caveat. Merging the Company to the goverment doesnt only makes you financialy tied to it. But also Culturally tied. And once merged you are essentially entering their Tool Cupboard. This can mean you/ your company can be an Asset, safeguard, tool, pawn, and Sacrifice on the whims of whomever in the Chair at that time.
    Unless of course, you dont fully integrate.

    great video! one note, Rome was not built in a day, but it didn't fall in one either! I know this proves a point for the rest of the video, but it's still not true. Rome, as in Western Rome, fell over the course of centuries as a number of social, political, and economic forces ate away at the country while Germanic tribes moved into Roman territories. Even this is a massive oversimplification, before even considering the Byzantines.

Unless they become a government supplier of tech (which is what Microsoft is already) they won’t last long with their phones and computers. There is a gradual shift in society towards more stoic way of life and being cool (the main marketing gimmick of Apple) will last only for a small amount of time.
