"Think of it this way: free will is a type of determination, with a standard that may be present or absent, and on top of it all there is no determinism without determinations. All free will is slave to the preferences. There is no free will without preferences, and so perfect fulfillment of preferences is the maximal concept of the will. So, in a sense, the ultimate concept of will is... to live the dream of arbitrary behavior. But really we cannot get more than we want, if we are being honest." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Relatively speaking, all the potential of life comes from immortality." ---Nathan Coppedge


"Sometimes at times, the metaphor of visual contrast is the nearest thing to magic." --Nathan Coppedge

"There used to be these great, classical, roller-ball pens that were all-black except for the steel clip. These were great pens for drawing abstract art, and I used them for years, never really doubting how great they are. The abstract art I produced led me to be more ambitious, philosophical, and ultimately take more interest in subjects like mathematics and science than I would have otherwise. Partly as a result of these pens, I gained confidence to invent perpetual motion and formulas for absolute knowledge, in effect solving all practical and abstract problems. They're the pens that saved the world! At the time they may have cost about $8.12 for a set of six."

"Note that I am basically just indulging my fascination with disciplines." --Nathan Coppedge

"Just analyzable origins being obscure and creating relationships. If we don’t become very complex or dimensional we are literally just analyzing how we came from obscurity and we probably aren’t going anywhere, whereas if we do become dimensional new facts will have relevance. The stuck situation is related to the fallacy of inadequate relevance. When we recognize relevance, we are necessarily pre-occupied with an adequate explanation, or something involving obscure origins." ---Nathan Coppedge, response to Paul Conway


"If you don’t have friends, you probably don’t need them." ---Nathan Coppedge


“Mozart came before the paperclip. Einstein came before the slinky. I'm not even sure simple things will happen anymore, but some interesting things might happen. Can all the great things be done by one man?” ---Nathan Coppedge



“According to the law of non-contradiction, if you believe in infinite possibilities, this is a possibility you can infinitely believe.” —Nathan Coppedge


"In a certain functional sense I exist, or I can think I exist, or what appears to be the world tells me I exist… however, I cannot necessarily know the limits of my success, unless it is an application of my individual experience, or the individual or social limit really is the limit of what it is..." ---Nathan Coppedge
