@clacke about Korea split, my point is to not judge on what's wrong, but look at aggression from one to another.

but your view has been mostly to judge whether the bad warranted us involvement.

i understand your perspective. That is common western perspective. What am saying, is to accept, that there's a view point, where judgement is not considered, but only aggression of one to other.

@clacke ... Mao was good. He began very good, winning people's hearts, mostly farmers or poor people, peasants, that's how he rose. But after WWII and Chinese Civil War ended, he became very bad. The millions of deaths, cultural revolution, is due to him, as side effect of his political struggle. The deaths are mostly due to famine, which he resulted.

that's afaik from what i read, my interpretation. I never been to china myself.

@clacke Deng began capitalism in china, that brought chinese prosperity. But the political system is still strictly lead by the communist party and they r strict about that.

taiwan, since the Nationalist arrived (and pretty soon i was born there), is absolute authoritarian (with us backing and US fleet in Taiwan Straight), dictatorship. Until in 1970s or so the taiwan Progresive Party thwart that... and it turned into the sjw kinda situtaion.

@clacke
you probably knew,
Chomsky is a leading US critic, holding the view that usa after WW2 is basically ruthless empire, getting its hands in wherever there's benefit. he wrote lots books. He's 80 or something now, very old, but still have youtube vid or article now and then.

do you read him? what do you think?

@clacke when another nation is practicing cruelty or complete fucked (such as china, cultural revolution period), whether another country gets involved (such as us, the usa), is a good question. I don't think there's right answer.

but i think what's missing in typical american mind, is a complete blank of other side's point of view. That view is what i was trying to say in the beginning of the post. It just won't fly. In most other places or with other people, i'd be called a troll or ban'd.

@clacke so from what i see, your responses, is very typical of American (or white men), before the rise of the worse, the sjw.

@clacke but maybe, American wiping out the red skin is justified, because, we brought them god, technology, rid of their superstition.

right?

and imported blacks from Africa by the shiploads and heroically freed them.

there is however, one way, to judge right and wrong. That is, those who live and let live.

US's involvement in korea, vietnam, and since, and iraq war, was never about that.

@clacke and we are not even getting into American history of entirely wiping out the native Americans, which is the biggest genocide in human history.

@clacke
my dad escaped to taiwan, because his dad (my grand dad) is some sort of high ranked sordier of the KMT, the party fighting the communist. We "escaped" to taiwan.

and taiwan today, since 2000s, have gone into what usa is experiencing now with the sjw. With some of the "natives" minority claiming massacre etc. then their Progressive Party president turns out r involved in high corruption and now in jail...

i'm trying to understand how complex versions of sin, cos, exp functions, are defined, intuitively from the ground up or historically. Can any point me to online sources or if you know the subject well?

to clarify: am looking for why, via history or intuitive explanation.

@clacke i was born in taiwan, from parents from china. My dad has told me, it is USA the scum, that stopped we chinese being unified country. (and us soldiers raping in taiwan etc)

you have to see that point. Because, the billions of chinese, or vast majority , think that way too. You don't because you are not Chinese.

it's very simple point. Outsiders, usually, do what they can to benefit themselves. If one agree, then one must see that too, in usa hand in korea split and china split.

@clacke i see you are cherry picking and theorize thing after the fact.

if korea did not split, the North today may not be bad like that. Maybe the whole Korea will be prosperous.

same with China/Taiwan split. Taiwan was prosperous, and china was pretty bad like N Korea today, but now shanghai is more expensive and rich than New York, and they sending space stations.

@clacke and who knows what might happen.

i haven't thought about this much, but instinctively, i wish no split. Am American.

(china/taiwan is my birth mom, usa is my teats mom. The sjw scums in usa, is fermenting racial problems, and it is a problem, because half of american are immigrants.)

@skypage without trig, one can't even draw a clock.

for any math u do, or programing graphics, most critical is 2 thoroughly know trig. Do it now, u coding ignoramuses
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometric_functions
unstand trig is actually part of understand civilization. It is the most ancient, necessary, math. Sans, u can't have bulding or farming.

@clacke to see that US involvement in splitting Korea and China, as justice and right, is common, to American.

but we should not fail to see outsiders are thinking exactly the same when usa is on the verge of split.

@clacke when we exert force on others, we see help and justice.

when we have internal split, hate each other, outsiders are thinking exactly the same, help and justice.

any family, clan, nation, always have internal problems now and then. United We Stand, is the common keyword, regardless of ideology. The view point can be swapped.
