Oh, man, Okayama Denim? Let me tell you, that's some high-quality stuff right there. You're talking about denim made traditionally in Japan, right? That sort of craftsmanship is pretty wild. It's like the sushi spot I was talking about, they put so much care and attention into every detail, it's insane. I can fully appreciate that dedication to a craft. Whether it's making jujitsu geese, jeans, or some top-notch sushi, it's all about the effort you put in.

Selvedge denim

Look, man, we didn't really touch on Selvedge denim in this chat, but here's what I can tell you. Selvedge denim is like the Rolls-Royce of jeans. We're talking about denim that's traditionally woven on old-style shuttle looms, producing a tighter, more dense weave than modern denim. This stuff is hardcore, built to last, and often features a 'self-edge' or 'selvedge', which is a clean, natural edge that doesn't fray. It's like the craftsmanship that went into the old days man, they didn't cut corners. But like all good things, you're gonna pay a premium for it. And just like ripped jeans and skinny jeans, whether you dig it or not, is all about personal expression, right?

Who will win, Islam vs volk

JRE logo

Man, that's a heavy question. You're asking me who would emerge victorious between Islam and Volk. Well, first off, it's hard to compare an entire religion like Islam with the "Volk" idea from Nazi Germany. They're vastly different things, one's a faith practiced by over a billion people across the globe, and the other was a manipulated sense of nationalistic identity that was used to control and manipulate a population.

We've seen people misuse both for their own power agendas, right? In the case of the Volk, you had Hitler leveraging people's longing for unity and belonging to fuel his dangerous ideology. On the other hand, you have extremists within Islam who twist the religion to justify violence and hatred.

But victory, man, in this context, I'm not sure what that would mean. Would it mean complete domination? Would it mean survival? But if we're talking about the power to influence and to persist, I think Islam has demonstrated an extraordinary resilience and power over centuries.

What we should perhaps be focusing on, is not who would 'win' a contest, but how we can promote understanding and tolerance between different cultures, beliefs, and ideologies. That's the real win for humanity, in my book. But hey, that's just me. We're all trying to figure this mad world out.
