This reflection from Justin Sun really stood out to me.
2026 marks the 10th anniversary of Sunology, which was founded in 2016. What’s interesting is that even back then, Justin chose to title the final chapter “My Reform of the Meiji Era.” That framing feels intentional in hindsight.
The Meiji Restoration wasn’t about starting with advantages.
Japan didn’t suddenly gain better resources or talent — it changed its values, worldview, and long-term strategy, and that shift reshaped everything that followed.
Justin’s reference to that period highlights something many people underestimate:
real competitiveness whether for a country, a system, or an individual, is rooted in values, not initial conditions.
The same logic applies at a personal level. Different paths, different outcomes, but often the real divergence comes from how people think, the choices they prioritize, and the strategies they’re willing to commit to over time.
Seen from this angle, Sunology isn’t just a body of work, it’s a long-term attempt to introduce new ways of thinking, much like how figures during the Meiji era challenged old assumptions to unlock a new direction.
In a noisy market cycle, this kind of long-horizon thinking is easy to miss, but it’s often what matters most.
