A thing I like about Japanese corporate culture is you’re allowed and encouraged to non-ironically write “We will change the future through chemistry” as e.g. ad copy.

I'm betting it's more an issue of Americans inferring many of those words as pandering platitudes, but natively (and culturally) the original words carry sincere meaning.

As a Chem E, I appreciate everyone who gives me the tools to do my job. Skilled craftsmen are far too hard to come by these days because so many people degrade it. Bullshit. These are the things and people that make everything else possible

I don't know about Americans, but many Israelis do feel pride of having a job which does something *good*. Doesn't have to be curing cancer - can be producing a chemical that improves people's lives. The opposite of working on things that people *don't* want (spam, ads, etc.).

I like how Buddhists incorporated the need to choose a "good" livelihood into their religion. Doing good for people - not finding any legal way to part fools and their money. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noble_Eightfold_Path#Right_livelihood …
