In Duanmu Huai's view, Huang'zen Kumiko has actually fallen into the most common fault of Japanese people—overthinking.
In fact, many Japanese people have this habit; Mary has complained to him before, saying that when she was in school, she sometimes offered some opinions. Other students were interested, but their frequent response was, "What if we fail?"
Defeatist talk before the battle has even begun could be considered a deep-rooted weakness of the Japanese people. It's not just at school; it's the same in society, whether it's about digitalizing identity systems, increasing surveillance cameras, or digital currency. There's always someone who raises opposing opinions, and their thinking process is always the same.
What if it fails?
For example, will digitalizing identity systems lead to identity theft?
Will digital currency cause harm?
The most important question is, if something goes wrong, who will be responsible for bowing and apologizing and stepping down?
