--- excerpts from HEAVEN & EARTH ---
Vietnamese woman : God is not cruel, just practical . .
In this life, without our knowledge,
we are paying back for a lot of bad past lives.
. . .
I too was a soldier in past lives

I thought Hindi was the religion of reincarnation. In this movie
Buddhists apparently believe in reincarnation also. Perhaps someone can
straighten out the facts. True or not, both Hindi and Buddhists believe
in reincarnation?
After I watched the above movie I wondered how I would use it for the
purpose of VietMath War. This is a war of the math community and how
stodgy, how ultra conservative and not yielding to any change from
status quo. A community that has total grip over its members and is
enforced by access or banishment of access to math journals. The movie
above was well done and was a story based on a true story of people.
After watching it and seeing the past traditions of some cultures and
the technology advancement of another culture. I have this to say in
relation to the Vietmath War. I could not have picked a better analogy
than the Vietnam War for all of its depth and ramifications.
And, importantly, it is a sad realization that the math community at
present feels they have unlocked the math secrets that will be in
existence for 10,000 years , nay a billion years into the future, and
unchanged. That in this century alone, most of physics was overturned
in the passage of Quantum Mechanics, a thorough and all pervasive
revolution. Yet the mathematics community has only seen a revolution ,
a smaller one than what physics saw with QM, in the tune of
NonEuclidean Geometry. Never has the math community seen a revolution
in Number theory, and if you talk with virtually every math journal
editor, all of them will say that they can prove the Peano Axioms do
not manufacture Infinite Integers, that they can all define precisely
what a Finite Integer is, and that they need not have to prove that
Finite Integers are distinct from Infinite Integers. Math people are
some of the most stubborn and hypocritical and illogical people that
walk the face of the Earth.
If the US people had watched the series Vietnam TV history and had
seen that the Vietnamese people were struggling for their independence,
away from colonial barbarism , then, then I feel that no stupid
president Kennedy or idiotic LBJ could have led the US people down the
path of unrighteousness, and the US would have never gone into Vietnam.
It took a brainwashing and "keep the people in the Dark (US people)" in
order for the stupid political presidents to have foisted the Vietnam
War on the US people. Same prejudice, darkness, journal presses
propaganda is keeping the math world in the dark. Fight, I must, for
that is the only way to move these math colonialists.
If capitalism is so great over communism, it will win by itself, we
need not attack poor societies in the name of communism. How do you
tell a communist person apart from a noncommunist? How do you tell an
Infinite Integer apart from a Finite Integer? Math is supposed to be
the science of precision, but our modern day math is so screwed up that
it is no more precise than telling apart a communist Vietnamese from a
democratic Vietnamese.
