Very original post <| sep |> I think chemical engineering is one of the best majors for research . The depth and span of knowledge is unmatched . It is enabling especially in nanoscience which is the huge interdisciplinary field of the future . With a few graduate classes in physical chemistry and computer science , we are uniquely educated to control and design matter from atomic to bulk scale . <| sep |> The Japanese government turn a blind eye to the Yakuza even letting them form proper business licenses because they recognize that when you eliminate organize crime , it tends to spike crime rates rather dramatically . Since Japan is such a small densely populated fragile environment they put up with the Yakuza because they recognize that a more volatile changing crime market isn ' t a better alternative . Great chapter about this further explained in the book McMafia .
