Said Yale economics professor Yusuke Narita, quoted in "A Yale Professor Suggested Mass Suicide for Old People in Japan. What Did He Mean? Yusuke Narita says he is mainly addressing a growing effort to revamp Japan’s age-based hierarchies. Still, he has pushed the country’s hottest button" (NYT).

Dr. Narita, 37, said that his statements had been “taken out of context,” and that he was mainly addressing a growing effort to push the most senior people out of leadership positions in business and politics — to make room for younger generations....Appearing frequently on Japanese online shows in T-shirts, hoodies or casual jackets, and wearing signature eyeglasses with one round and one square lens, Dr. Narita leans into his Ivy League pedigree as he fosters a nerdy shock jock impression. He is among a few Japanese provocateurs who have found an eager audience by gleefully breaching social taboos. His Twitter bio: “The things you’re told you’re not allowed to say are usually true.”... 

At a panel hosted by Globis, a Japanese graduate business school, Dr. Narita told the audience that “if this can become a Japanese society where people like you all commit seppuku one after another, it wouldn’t be just a social security policy but it would be the best ‘Cool Japan’ policy.” Cool Japan is a government program promoting the country’s cultural products.... 

We discussed the "Cool Japan" policy on this blog 9 years ago, here. At the time, I said, "Isn't government the antithesis of coolness? Getting government on anything makes in uncool."'

I think Narita is using humor to open up a discussion about serious policy changes, and I won't venture to guess how notions of suicide play out in Japanese culture. But here in American, you're expect to be vigilant about saying or doing anything that risks generating suicidal ideation in anyone. It's emphatically not a topic for humor.
