Good suggestion.  Exhale some of that Western Civlization and gain some perspective.  I agree that these two things are fundamentally meant to be different in business.  Businesses have R&D (tech) and the "back of the house" (nerds) and the "front" (musk/jobs) or marketing (jobs/musk).  I think for STEEMIT to be successful or anything that is meant to drive traffic!  Get users!  Convert people!  To be successful than they need to have a board and it needs to be tested on the approach.  I can't code but I can sell shoes.  I can sell a car.  I can build a PC and understand the terminology.  But I can't tan leather or rebuild a transmission.  I also can't build a cryptocurrency but I can say why this one is "the one of the future" so "get in asap" to be "ahead of the curve."

There have been and continue to be some amazing things that come out of the Japanese culture, not only the amazing tech but as you rightly point out, how to be a human.
