"If we are not creative, we will not get a good world, and yet creativity occurs without judgment." ---Nathan Coppedge
"I’m not sure there is a satisfying answer while we are unsatisfied. After all, only satisfaction is satisfying, just as only the quality of decisiveness is decisive. I call this relative absoluteness." ---Nathan Coppedge
"Paradoxical realism is the beginning of absolute realism." ---Nathan Coppedge
"Making people depressed should be the most elaborate thing, according to idealists, but the alternative suggests simple ways of coping." ---Nathan Coppedge
"Divination is like the evolution of sacrifice." ---Nathan Coppedge
"Sometimes I believe in artificial artificiality: every substance is plastic, so nothing is plastic. This seems to be one key to the fourth dimension: a universal standard of miscellaneous meaningful substances."
"Much of progress is catch-up from a different perspective" ---Nathan Coppedge, wisdom of the new ancients
"To die might be to live, if to die is to die! While I die I am dead." --- Nathan Coppedge, wisdom of the new ancients

"If we do not argue that rationalism falls into coherent and incoherent categories, we are forced to adopt a non-relativist position, because we cannot argue for absolute (coherent) relativism, or subjective (incoherent) relativism. But, both coherence and incoherence render relativism in a trivial form. In coherence, relativism must be universal, contradicting multiplicity, and therefore existing in the form of measurement. Incoherence also measures relativism, although through irrationality. Thus, both uacceptable forms of relativism consider it to be merely a form of measurement. Now the extension of relativism requires the extension of relativism's triviality, and this leads to no assumption of relativism in any major systematic category. The conclusion is that relativism is trivial."
