Japan abolished intelligence tests and nationwide academic assessments under the guise of political correctness, creating a society unable to distinguish true genius from mere exam-trained elites. This vacuum allowed unqualified mediocrities—academics, media figures, and political commentators—to shape national policy, contributing to declining birthrates, cultural decay, and political misjudgment. Postwar ideological legacies driven by the Asahi Shimbun and figures like Chizuko Ueno accelerated national decline, while genuine talent in culture and the arts remained unrecognized. Reinstating intelligence and academic testing is essential for Japan’s revival, ensuring leadership by individuals of real ability rather than self-important exam prodigies or ideologues.

The first-rate recognize the first-rate.
Geniuses recognize geniuses.
My close friend has heard this phrase from me many times.
The confusion of the Umeda North Yard was the catalyst for my appearance in this column.
At that time, the late Hiroshi Shimozuma, who became chairman of the Kansai Economic Federation, was perhaps not a genius, but he was a true elite born in Sapporo.
I, a genius born in Sendai, corrected his great mistake precisely because he was my senior.
I wrote about that process when I first appeared in this column.
Recently, I had the opportunity to have a thorough conversation with an excellent young university student.
As I expected, he told me that he had never taken a nationwide academic achievement test or an intelligence test.
Because in a world dominated by hypocrisy and political correctness, such tests were abolished as “discriminatory,” matching the foolishness of the age.
Therefore, those born afterward cannot distinguish whether they are true geniuses or merely top test-takers.
Taking advantage of this, foolish mediocrities who possess nothing but a University of Tokyo degree, and flaunt it while misleading the nation with misguided rhetoric—such as Shinichi Kitaoka and Haruki Wada—appear endlessly.
Recently, there is Yoichi Shimada, whose only asset was perhaps graduating from Kyoto University, though as a scholar he is a complete failure.
A man, who tags along with him, conveniently forgets that he is merely a “偏差値38の権太,” and—despite the fact that he has become a kind of impersonator of Haruki Murakami—seems to describe himself as a “great writer.”
Hearing his statements, my close friend, who informed me of them, is without doubt a genius.
His lifelong love of reading since childhood is so extraordinary that even I, a genius, am left astonished.
Masayuki Takayama taught us that the true culprit behind Japan’s declining birthrate is GHQ, and that one of the leading agents was Shidzue Kato of the Socialist Party, who drafted and passed the Eugenics Protection Act.
He also taught us that the media, led by the Asahi Shimbun, supported all of this.
This structure is strikingly similar to how Ken Sakamura’s TRON revolution was crushed by Bill Gates, who ultimately moved the U.S. government to act.
As I have written many times, this directly led to the severe crisis faced by Japan’s nine proud electronics manufacturers.
Among those raised on a steady diet of the Asahi Shimbun, both geniuses and mediocrities, there are women who end up never marrying.
In other words, the Asahi Shimbun has been the primary cause of Japan’s declining birthrate throughout the postwar period.
It goes without saying that one of the key masterminds behind this tragic reality was Chizuko Ueno—an utterly foolish mediocrity and nothing more than a mere exam-taking elite.
I have already written about the circumstances in which the path I should have taken was cut off from me.
It happened at the very beginning of my third year of high school.
After that, as I have also written, I spent my days listening to classical music on NHK FM.
My genius found solace each day in the music performed by geniuses in the world of classical music, in resonances that only geniuses possess.
Through the undeniable super-ultra-genius Natsuho Murata, I came to know a pianist of exceptional talent—also one of the geniuses.
I attend her concerts whenever possible.
Last night, matching the program of her recital, I released to the world the photographs I took yesterday—taken by me, a genius.
Perhaps because of that, I had an extremely valuable dream this morning.
A true genius was born into a family connected to me, and despite being a small child, was conversing with me in the dream.
Intelligence tests and nationwide achievement tests are essential.
They are essential if Japan is to advance in every field under the guidance of the truly first-rate, the truly intelligent, and the truly gifted.
Amid the deflation that Western nations despise like poison, Japan’s once-proud apparel industry is in severe distress.
In truth, a company that once sold low-quality clothing that quickly pilled and was unsuitable for going out became a global corporation thanks only to “HEATTECH,” the crystallization of Toray’s traditional Japanese technological excellence.
And yet, completely misunderstanding the situation, the head of this company declared that Japan must push forward with immigration, or else it would become a second-rate nation.
His only good deed was donating 10 billion yen to Professor Yamanaka’s research group at Kyoto University.
To prevent people of this sort from making careless statements that mislead the country, intelligence tests and nationwide academic tests must be reinstated.
For knowing one’s enemy and knowing oneself is the only way to win a war.
A society in which mere exam elites or “偏差値50以下の権太” raise their voices without knowing their place has only decline and collapse ahead.
Most recently, the two “権太” who launched the Japan Conservative Party nearly drove the nation to the brink, enabling the rise of Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and even making possible yet another nightmare—another Democratic Party administration.
The editor-in-chief of WiLL, the excellent Mr. Yamane, revealed on his YouTube program that a University of Tokyo professor had made the unbelievable claim that “Japan-U.S. relations will collapse if Sanae Takaichi becomes Prime Minister.”
The harm caused by exam elites—mere test-taking machines like Shinichi Kitaoka, a graduate of Nara’s Todaiji Gakuen—interfering in Japanese politics leads directly to a national survival crisis.
This fool was likely influenced by someone like Ambassador Emanuel.
Such is his level of foolishness and mediocrity.
Let alone the “Gonta” types—and those who are in fact Mata Hari-like figures—speaking on politics without knowing their place is utterly outrageous.
