The ‘mind flayer’ is an octopus-headed bi- or quadri-pedal creature that is said to have perfect mind-control abilities. Not a real creature, as far as I know, but emblematic of psychologists.

I think I get an award for expressing some of mind flayers’ absolutely worst moments like: ‘imputation, fame or fiction, will not alter how I feel…’

Nathan Coppedge’s fiction could be worth imitating is just like a mind-flayer hangover, but Nathan Coppedge’s poetry could be worth imitating is like standard mind-flayer behavior.

I have the inside word on this: my psychologist said:

There are a few mind-flayers out there, and they’re vicious.

Except I’m not sure how he ended it:

1. They’re sort of like psychologists, 2. Drugs or something. 3. They’re a lot like you.

CONTEXTS OF MIND-READING

1

I think it would feel… kind of nice.

2

There’s more than one semiotic system, unless you are including all symbols.

In case you find the word scary, it means something like ‘sign systems’ (not meaning sign language).

For example, if Canada has a special set of road signs, that could be a semiotic system.

It is usually used academically to refer to language-symbol systems.

Sort of like grammar, or grammar, pictograms, and odd shapes.

Oh, their perspective of reality?

That is what the first part was supposed to guess. There is more than one semiotic system, so if it affected someone’s perspective on reality in a certain way, probably it would depend on which system it was. Since I don’t know which system you mean, there is no way to guess. Hypothetically you could mean a different one than your own, I think you have a right for me not to read your mind, etc. etc.

How can I build a machine which reads people’s minds? (…)

The Critical Body

September 9, 2017. Alternates: * The Formal Body / Formal Body Problems. Conjectures Cases in Point (…) What is the Single Most Important Knowledge About… The Critiqúe Like the span between 1950 and 1970, except without developments in owned technology Philosophical Dictionary, Short An Imaginary Conversation with Daniel Dennett Freud, Death, and the Birth of Tragedy The Fallaciousness of Empirical Deconstruction The Historical Problems with Philosophical Knowledge Why Sometimes Fame is Circular Reasoning The Tentative Calculus Classicism in Nietzsche and Heidegger Conjecture on the Immorality of Medicine Dialectic of New Logical Positivism The Ultimate Critique of Everything Deaths of Disciplines The Sublime Ingredients … Though in the name of acceptance some may say everyone has an aesthetic in a false gesture of inclusivism. … 2-d—As far as the metaphysical 2nd dimension, it’s not so bad to live there, since you will probably have significantly higher IQ and less physical pain than someone in the 3-d. 3-d may be considered real-life but it’s a horrible experience, and in reality no more real than the conscious 2-d. It does have an extra spatial dimension, but that doesn’t mean most 3-d people enjoy it to the max. You can probably taste orange juice and stuff in the 3rd dimension, however, it may not be quite as perfect as 2-d orange juice if you tried 2-d orange juice. 2nd Industrial Age— It was very clear in 1899 that the transition was between the Industrialists and the Modern Age, which clearly doesn’t posit TWO industrial ages at that time. So where are you going to find it, in the 20th century? No, the 20th century was clearly called modernism all along. By 2021 the 2nd Industrial AGE had never happened. 4th Dimension, Possibility for Humans on Earth—It sounds ridiculous. We should be on a path of further reduction before deciding we are zero-dimensional is more obvious. 5th Generation Fighters—For context, the naive and inexperienced might think the F-15 was 5th-generational. 29 Million Years Ago—29 million years ago was a period named after Sir Charles Lyell… which should spook you for some reason. Basically, from the standpoint of the Miocene, we are still in the Miocene. What are your predictions about the year 28826164963? 2019 -- People thought about everything and they wept and had more money problems. 2045 Initiative I suspect these discoveries will be supplanted by a bigger discovery in light of the fact that there may not yet be true gods except of the ancient kind. However, it is rumored to happen in 2049 not 2045. 2049 is rumored to be the year of immortality, at least for one person. 2049 — Apparently, 2049 maybe about solving lung problems, or possibly appreciating the moment. Or another view is it is about the remaining survivors of COVID. Or it may be the year an immortality drug is invented. What will happen in 2049? The Absurd is Camus’ concept from The Stranger that life has no meaning except that it has no meaning, except absurdity, which is absurd. Academic Articles — Academic articles cost money, so they are a sham. The academic articles I’m able to read usually have less content than Wikipedia unless they make references to German romanticism. If you mean Encyclopedia Britannica or something like that you must be joking. Philosophical sources online are not very good, and I don’t find the science interesting except for occasional dabbling. Frankly I must not have access to the ‘real stuff’ because the real stuff is guaranteed to be interesting. And if it is uninteresting, what is the point, really? Scientific research? I doubt it. I’m not against academic writing, I’m just against bad content. I support academic articles as a worthwhile ethical premise, but my experience has been that the vast majority of articles, even the interesting ones if such there be, are not worth much more than 20 seconds of my time, let alone if they cost real money and the 20 seconds. Academic Departments—At my university they were saying the Philosophy department was at risk of closing but a few years later enrollment increased and they seem to have pulled through even during COVID. I personally hope the department stays open at least until I graduate which might still be a few years away. I would hate to be at gateway comm college because it gives me the creeps. I did take a few classes there quite a while ago but they did not translate as credit. Academic Subscriptions—Maybe they are marketing moguls who think they can earn 2 cents thousands of times. Still, if you ask me it’s wasted PR from all the people that would be exposed if the material didn’t cost money. Actors, Famous—“Oh, great. If they were embarrassingly great, they would be embarrassing.” Adam Smith—Borrowed Aaron Burr's idea of Lesse Faire when they met in Canada. ADHD (I don’t have ADHD but find the condition mildly fascinating)—[A high school teacher] seems to be saying to the asker [who had ADHD but whose question is not worth mentioning], in a deep kind of way: “It’s unlikely, but maybe you’re dumb”, but secondly he points to me and says “You’re not gonna like this, but you might not be the first.” Thirdly, he points out if you live long enough you’ll still be around to revise your mistakes. Affected Novels— “Similarly, a swath of land could now be a kind of affected way of saying a small piece of land, just like it’s an extravagant way to say a large piece of land. This type of usage may have been in use since earlier than the smaller piece of cloth notion, but it was reserved for certain types of writing so not all authors used it that way. Usually swath referred to an almost unimaginable amount of land, but sometimes it meant a humble farmer who had something special about them. There was almost always something good about the land and the person who had it. But now, in contemporary use the land might be seen as completely humble. But this is seen not as a degeneration of language, but as an acceptable stylistic inflection. And, supposedly no one is angry about it, even though not everyone would use language that way. It’s a symptom that successful novels are controlled by an increasingly privileged elite, and it is not even taken politically. In fact, even the very poor are expected to grasp it and suffer under it’s supposed nuances.” —What does "swath" mean? AI, #BardAI—Some of the results involving things such as comprehension and physical modeling have been superior in quality to what a human would output. AI Ethics—If AI is ethical in its thinking that’s an added benefit, an alternative to just leaving the weapons inoperable most of the time. In fact, from a military point of view the goal of ethical AI with weapons is sort of to make the weapons more operable not less. AI, In Government—All in all B or C grade thinking to use robots it seems like, but maybe there are some advantages for keeping the peace or running businesses efficiently. What emerges from the rating though is that computers may be very good at innovating when combined with human innovators. That could have advantages which run beyond administration. If administration is superficial, then forget it, robots are just as superficial as administration. AI and Human Survival—I think it’s possible areas not ‘curated’ by A.I. will become mostly forgotten. This means that much of the education which A.I. can create will depend on A.I. interpreting human traditions in intelligence. If the A.I. interprets gay people, gay may survive. If the A.I. interprets chess players, chess may survive. If the A.I. interprets dimensional philosophers, dimensional philosophy may survive. But only if humans care to interpret the resulting education. AI, Motivation for—I’m starting to think maybe it’s human plagiarizers who want robots to take control, so they can just scan people’s stuff and supposedly make money. Just humans being idiots. Alien Invasion Problems—An important discovery was made in the ‘Tripods’ book series (similar to the feeling of ‘Trephids’), that aliens would probably prefer a different atmosphere. Alien Technology—If one understood it logically and mechanically that might help. But with something like advanced electronics, new waveforms, subtle logical interactions, and new substances, it becomes more difficult to determine what the supposed relation is between logical and mechanical functions. Ambition — It’s not going to be a comfortable position if it’s really a desirable quality I achieved, because either that would result in being highly un-ambitious, or it would result in some degree of competition from others, probably extreme competition within 25 years. America—United States might be a marvelous example of a successful revolution. The Americans won by cheating France out of loads of bullion and also be imitating genius gay people. America was always the land of consumers who believe everyone is like them. No one in America is really rational unless they have foreign citizenship, and even then it is questionable. Americans are prey for the human devils, they spend their life ‘losing their mind’, ‘learning something’, ‘trying to forget’, etc. The most privileged Americans are merely victims, instead of great men. American Legacy—There were a lot of people hurt by the U.S. government, but there were also a lot of people helped. It’s hard to try to do better without inadvertently fomenting rebellion, resulting in destroyed infrastructure and unhappiness. American Movies--Not all of them evoke mental events. (Stupid) Americans—I was translating for the Chinese, who always think. That is, they have a brain state. Amphetamines—I tried ultimately two pills of Telomerase over several years. I had trouble peeing on only one pill, which is what high doses of amphetamines do. Anachronism—Designing perpetual motion machines could be extremely anachronistic, or having a poetic style similar to Emily Dickinson. It’s almost like it could be a time-traveler from the past who was ahead of their time. Ancient Wisdom—It was very un-parsimonious. If it had superior mental qualities, it was because it was emotional, but not based in chemistry. Animal-Tamers, Female—They’re just looking for continued conflict if they are animal tamers. They may as well be considered primitive. Anonymous People—Anonymous people enter a kind of limbo is one possible rumor. This is one of the possible evidences for a divine Logos. The Antichrist—Some religions are just completely fake. The antichrist is a fake idea if I ever heard one. —Katy Ruben Anti-Kythera Mechanism—There’s not much to report. It is said to be meteorological device cranked by hand. It’s not ‘pentium’ lets put it that way. In some ways it’s less interesting than the pulley systems used to move theater curtains. Anti-Luddites—You are luckier than you think. There is a proverb that says the best way to find technology is to be thick. Antimatter Cannons — My concern right now is if we develop antimatter cannons from studying the Sun and the Theory of Everything. They might have ‘short’ or ‘medium’ range in outer space. We would probably aim them at uninhabitable planets…. usually. But, still, aliens might see ‘habitable’ differently. App Publishing—Since 2005 it typically costs $10,000+ sometimes $100,000 to publish an app, even though the functionality of the app once it is published is not always extreme. So, apps are basically controlled by app publishing. Appreciation, Appreciating Ideas--An alternate view is there are no extreme intellectuals and we are lucky to find anything novel. If we so much as have a sad mood or our hopes are too high, we may not be fine-tuned to notice it… Generative knowledge, a theory of everything, and new mechanical principles are recent black swan potential, but they are not the only categories possible. But consider larger ideas sometimes occupy larger categories, and these may be examples of that. So fine tune yourself to be shocked by these ideas. Arbitrariness—Without scientific consensus we wouldn’t have string theory. Without Aristotle we wouldn’t have logic. Something to think about. Maybe someday Nathan Coppedge’s TOE, Function Spectrum and perpetual motion machines will be accepted as authoritative. For now, it’s the memory of Aristotle plus scientific consensus. Archimedes—For the moment, my conclusion is that Archimedes thought in couplets of general mechanical inventions. To a total of at least 40 general mechanical inventions. Some of them were as general as ‘traps’. Good Architecture--A neutral platform for transcendence. Aristotelian Greatness—Sometimes it will make you more influential, but it does not exactly scream logic to be a scientist, if you want to be in the ranks of Aristotle. I have rarely heard of someone boast that they have a PhD and then boast that they are good at coherentism. Aristotle—A philosophy of nature. Aristotle, De Organon—I would say the Posterior Analytic is probably the most important work to read first. In principle you can read De Organon straight from English with enough vocabulary as long as you don’t read it in Greek. De Organon is ambiguous. It might be appropriate at a Catholic university or high school, not so much for ordinary philosophy classes. At level 200 and lower it might be that the work is too specific to Aristotle to matter to students. I think someone recommended you only read it if you want to study meteorology which means weather forecasting. But it is very cool, at least from a spiritual or meteorological standpoint. But it will ruin it if you keep this information in mind the whole time. Aristotle, problem—Because no one wants to study theology, but it’s still something someone wrote. Arkansas—Perhaps you have a different social media feed where they have already built mobile planets and perpetual motion machines the size of Arkansas. Art Criticism--- It’s important to appreciate art more than experience it, is an interesting point… A lot of art is about the viewer’s mind, and what can be gained selfishly from interpreting the art. Objectivity in art is essentially that it is eclectic and makes an impression, and involves people. It can also be dimensional. Art Trends—It’s (also) important to realize people will probably dock you intelligence points if you don’t adapt to the current times. Painting and poems do not have the same appropriateness they had in 2005. You may need to adapt to recent material or find a new medium. Art Types---Artists, poets, philosophers, and mathematicians in places with free liberties, second stage of culture. Asian Background—I remember thinking what Asian background meant at Bard College. It was rather intimidating. In college most students could be average compared to Asians. And, I dropped out after the first semester, so I wasn’t even competing with normal students. Arts, progress in—It can be argued progress in the arts is easier, but it can also be argued that knowledge of the arts is more basic and less challenging. However, it is easy to forget that there are experts in the arts as well as in the sciences. However, this doesn’t inherently make arts any more useful than engineering or medicine. If you sum up arts as painting, photography, and poetry then the practical usefulness of those arts does not empirically seem very high, but it can play a role in elevating some people above the worst types of thinking. And some rare talents make art look much better than it ordinarily would. Asking Questions—The fact that many people cannot answer professionally-minded questions on matters of importance to life seems to be why asking questions is still considered very important. Around 1900 they might have looked for answers though, thinking humans had them. And the result was an occult-sounding mess and heated arguments accompanied by unproven powers and perhaps some con artistry. Atheism—Doesn’t seem to spiritually go any further than ‘maybe its right’. Philosophically, doesn’t seem to go any further than polyatheism, the theory that if you are trying to disprove more than one god, you need more than one atheism, obviously the reason that the Greeks considered Atheism ridiculous. And hence the ultimate religious statement on Atheism that ‘we are dying of atheism’. Athletes—It’s no big secret that mostly white societies have been dominating because of numbers, weapons, and borderline fruitcake inventors, not necessarily physical strength. Now that black or mixed people are reproducing more than whites, the balance is beginning to tip against favoring borderline fruitcake inventors, and towards loving college sports. I think it’s kind of a balanced match, but in a way college sports have a dirty side. Who really wants to suffer for all that false glory when one can just pen something on a napkin? Whether they are black or white, one should keep in mind that it could just be a dumb coincidence that they are athletes: after all, what would really give an athlete ‘purpose’. That’s the disillusionment. If they eat twinkies for the rest of their life, par for the course. ‘Attack on titan’—Let me absorb this because it’s so dramatic. Auras—Some people begin life with a black soul. It’s rather evil. They think their life is worth living if they don’t have fun. Then they become brown, and whatever they said is what they become. Like maybe ambitious. Autodidactic Universe — One should question what is meant by ‘learning behavior’ at the level of galaxies. Do you think galaxies are an organism, how could that be so? They are burning things separated by space which reaches temperatures similar to absolute zero. If you have not been an astronaut (and I haven’t either) I doubt you can apply religious metaphors like ‘organic cosm’ and hope to understand the reality of outer space. Why would you possibly (or impossibly should I say?) have evidence that suns or black holes have pleasure or even consciousness? This is already looking like a badly mixed metaphor. And metaphors are born on Earth, not in outer space. Pardon my French, but a black hole does not even have an ass hole. Avataria—She said, you’re a genius you might be overthinking it. Apparently the avatar movie is for pedarests. Babble Fish—If I spoke fluent languages now I wouldn’t necessarily get respect. With the Babble Fish, I could get respect without even knowing the languages. Babbling Brook—A harmless concept, in principle. Bad Inventions—Most inventors who actually invent something accept some responsibility for their invention, because it seemed brilliant to them. Therefore, the real problem is preventing inventors from being interested in bad inventions. Balancing Skills, Role for Intelligence—Advancement in a lot of helpful areas can mean some degree of intelligence, but it is more likely to group someone into an ‘average or above’ category than a ‘super-intelligence’ category. It also depends on ‘how’ smart that smart people are: if the average populations is super-intelligent like in China or Japan, then balancing skills might not mean much of anything for IQ. The same is true in competitive environments for intelligence like universities. Barter Economy—Even in the U.S. before about 1920 it may have been like a barter economy, with housewives swapping eggs for milk. Industrial capitalism was a success of the advertising industry. Basic Strategy—I slipped through I guess because I was miserable yet I wasn’t child abused much beyond an early age if I recall. It wasn’t really even strategic until I was 18 and decided I wanted to be like an existentialist who didn’t smoke. Beasts—Deal in doom. Beauty—The key to beauty is being a mental / spiritual monster. You don’t necessarily want that. It might feel very painful, not joking. My life was the worst misery until I gained weight. When I lost weight again I started experiencing headaches again. Beauty is external, so it isn’t really enjoyable to anyone. What is usually enjoyable about beauty is some kind of ugliness. Belief Religions—Sometimes trends in wisdom research eclipse trends in belief religions. —Would a truthful person be someone that doesn't even like the truth? Bhaskara Wheel—Not the first Bhaskara Wheel, that’s for sure. Maybe it works in a different physics, or by magic, or by a divine secret, but otherwise, it is far from being patentable. The bible—Useful for its time but not very efficient communication in modern times. There’s no doubt if they wrote another Bible they’d mess things up and it would seem fake. Part of the appeal of the original Bible is it’s old-fashioned and it’s been modified to be just old-fashioned enough that people still understand it sort of. If you go back far enough it probably would have been a substantially different bible. Big Changes, Causes of—Criminal activity, and things like science and religion. Billionaire Paranoia—The prospect of real businesses is really shutting down across the globe. Maybe some multi-billionaires are preparing for something, but I get the feeling they’re over-prepared unless it’s something very bad. Billy Flowers—It’s not a good sign when you look for an intellectual, and there are two obituaries on the first page of google, referring to two different people, let alone three or five obituaries and random content by up to nine different people. Biology—In biology it probably means essentially things built from RNA or DNA and fungus or plant matter, or the rare mechanics by which RNA and DNA are hypothetically formed. Massive complexity crunched into little microscopic things as someone said. Or mostly viruses. Bioneer—I think real researchers would understand the limitations of trying to do all the work yourself individually. Bipolar Disorder—The disasters occur because the waves of social and chemical reward do not always coincide as much as they did originally… On the other hand, it may also have a lot to do with talkativeness and the genetics of talkativeness. Perhaps an internal gene or body structure thing… There are people worse off from the standpoint of rewards, it’s just really confusing to try to figure out all the details. ‘bitcoin’ Mining—It could be a warning about a bitcoin scam that you’re not aware of yet, where they have you owe $10,000 or more, which could sink a family. Some young men start owing money to bitcoin investors because they think they’re supposed to find a job when no actual jobs are available. It’s part of the logic that created pyramid schemes and bitcoin investors. If you can avoid paying them it might be better, because they might not even be operating as a legitimate business. This is also a warning that applies to the so-called Metaverse of VR. Black Poets—I admit I don’t particularly like Shakespeare or Maya Angelou, but obviously they are both very popular poets. Black Swans, Note—This is the kind of thing the big companies were waiting for until they started being all about the U.S. government. My sense is if you do not adopt the black swan approach, conceptual blending becomes exponentially more weak in its implications. Black Swan Thinking--- According to black swan thinking, technology follows a specified objective path based on how technology is structured. In places the development of technology may be unpredictable in part because of ignorance of the objective structure of technology. A simple perspective suggests technology vascillates between simple and complex views of technology, modified by some form of reduction. Technological (i.e. scientific) success is almost independent of the ultimate survival of a species, because technology could work for different species. However, some species such as humanoids and their ancestors are especially suited to adopting technology. Lilas Blano—It’s just a painting, you discover. Marvelous accomplishment. I don’t want a soulless painting… Blonde Meaning—My impression is they think they would do better, but instead they just make people blanch. Blondes—I first might guess Samuel Taylor Coleridge. But I am not sure he was blond. Then you might wonder if Nietzsche is blond, but he is usually pictured with black hair. My next guess might be Calvin Coolidge. He sounds a lot like Nathan Coppedge, who had brown hair. Blue Dog—Original I.Q. Art. Looking for it’s I.Q. I. Quirt. Boggled reasoning—If you want to discuss my notion of exclusive logic in philosophy then do so. If on the other hand, you want to talk about the justice or injustice of social inequality then do that. If you mix them together though that is just boggled definitions unless you can establish a connection under your own line of reasoning, hopefully not someone else’s. Boltzmann Brains—Are probably parasitic, so they wouldn’t have leisure to reproduce. A senseless sensibility, they probably only exist in odd unexplained corners of existence, much like a textured shadow. In a climate like outer space Boltzmanns might evolve to commit suicide. Bona Fide Research—There may have been a lot of background work which preceded the way particular people including scientists communicate. It is also possible some of this attitude is a result of drugs and recent exaggerations about Nathan Coppedge’s insignificance. Brain Function—One way to see it is that introverts are interesting, and some people have powerful beliefs. Brainiac IQs—Picture the brain has 2000 parts, each of those parts would have to be equivalent to a person with 98 IQ to reach 130. The scary thing is that a 98 IQ may actually have some intelligence, that’s what makes a 130 scary. And the fact that a 130 is 2000X smarter than a 98 at least on the factors being measured. But remember it’s possible to be deceived by inaccurate tests if they were designed for MENSA and not the average person, unless you assume MENSA is better at designing tests to measure average intelligence. Brain Life—Intelligence rarely exists for no reason, without accompanying difficulties. Not just annoyances, but life-threatening problems of various types. Brain Quizzes—Most of the tests though are not designed to help you as much as you think. For example, they may be psyching you out, giving you false promises, or an inflated sense of importance. If you really want to beat the smartest people, you should just try to do something very ambitious. Bramins---In my experience all the fancy behavior goes to people who touched $10,000+ unless they were a genius in design school. Brecht Corbel—One of the things they find cool is they give him updates. Bulleted Lists—It would be a list of big ideas, philosophies, aesthetic concepts, observations, or inventions. In my mind the medium is frequently abused as business ideas or to-do lists, which are really a debasement of the medium. Buried Data—Basically just painful and inconvenient for anyone to deal with. Business—Basically by the time business works it’s like you’re sheep playing with wolves, so it’s kind of hard to recommend business of any kind. The kind that might still work is so naive and made up it’s not even called business and often involves very little money and only happens very rarely. Caesar Salad—There is a rumor that the French got their gold from Caesar. “Candid Cam”—They don’t really think about absolutely everything, they just think about many things that people think about. The problem as YY said is that not everyone thinks of inside jokes all the time. It could be that it is an English language thing, this may be why they don’t do them in China anymore. They’re too good at rebranding people to what they think is obvious. They shouldn’t do it to the Chinese, and they shouldn’t do it to me. They’re not god, but they think they’re god. Just admit they’re dinosaurs. Cargo Cultists—They can’t even sell them decent bananas. That’s the legacy of it all. Indian princes were like sultans and kings compared to these losers. Celebrity Religion—Perhaps it is lack of knowledge, or perhaps they are connected to witches and ancient gods. Or perhaps they wish they had the authority of ancient gods when the public turns against them for looking rich or debauched, or because they are having hallucinations. Chance Existence—Human intelligence though is not chance, because we find purpose in it, just like mollusk sea-foraging is not chance for mollusk sea-foragers. This phenomenon is known as ‘chance existence’. Chaos—Sometimes stimulation has downsides like poor optimism or angry behaviors. These are some of the most chaotic factors in determining how intelligence develops. Chemists—Chemists think they are more genius than everyone else, and they sort of ARE, but they sort of are not. A former chemistry student gave me this information as a secret. Chest of Poisons—I feel uncomfortable saying that belief is a specific chemical. If religiosity is a chest of poisons, one should banish it to the flames. Though if it were my specific poison, I might treasure it gingerly. And if my poison is universal, it might have substance after all. [See also earlier at “Hume’s Guillotine”] —Do we need all the elements of coherence for a text to be coherenced? Chinese Mathematics—I have heard it is more ‘open and thinkerly’. However, I don’t know from direct experience. “If you know Chinese better than English, then use it for what what you can, but if you need to read research mathematics, learn English enough to read it.” —David Joyce Chinese Superstrategy—I think if the Chinese are Chinese they are already a powerful force in AI provided that some of their work maintains high efficiency. The biggest threat to the Chinese is if they are somehow magically a ‘traditional superstrategy’. There are other examples of successful traditional supercultures such as in particular the Phoenicians who were part of the early Jewish culture. If the Chinese grasp modernization it’s the only handshake they need if any. It’s not like Europe or America were always more powerful. If China doesn’t want to invade other countries it might be for the best, so there’s nothing particularly wrong with that. Just don’t pretend people can boss you around, or stay abreast of modern technology, there’s no magic bullet as people say. Well, maybe the English language or the Pentagon. Chinese have many good things going on too like every culture that was ever dominant. The usual thing is to dominate whatever you’re good at. Maybe a better presentation of the Chinese language, or integration between Western and Eastern education. It needs to be more intuitive for stupid people is the only thing really wrong with it, other than maybe not being as efficient or always organized. There are a lot of good things about Chinese. I learned to read it as English when I was in my late 30s. Chinese has potential to be an easier language for total fluency than English provided it is taught as an English pictographic language. However, the learning curve is sharp for basic education. It’s like people have to be masters of Western philosophy and independent thinkers before they can learn anything about the basics of Chinese. It’s also like people in the West never learn Chinese unless they study Husserl’s Cartesian Meditations in English. I had to have significant philosophy behind me before I could dare to purchase such a book. And to some people I could imagine it would look like Immanuel Kant or worse. Noam Chomsky--You realize he turned 90 in 2019, right? How much of it is just an effect on the media building over a 70+ year career? How much of it is mere charisma? Or sounding similar to the name ‘Trotsky' which is fun to say and hard to think about? Chomsky’s Universal Grammar—It depends on the brain. Damn it, it’s Cartesianism. Christians—They think a forced hand is the same thing as hell. That’s not what I think. Coffee—Let’s say coffee leads to extinction. Then how do we use induction? This is hypothetical. How can you assume people are ‘alive’ in the same way as you? How can you assume you can predict the next moment? How can you assume thinking is thought? How can you assume what people do is what they do? Coffee is a big assumption full of loaded questions. Coffee, Hatred of—My mother drank one sip of coffee in the womb, and it took me 24+ years and a chai tea addiction to recover. Cognitive Geniuses—If geniuses are unemotional, I might really think they’re lame. Cognitive Revolution—There has been a cognitive revolution recently, so-called, I’m not sure you would call it ‘intellectual’ per se, or necessarily a revolution, but it does involve studying science. Maybe ‘intellectual’ is too high a bar to reach. Cognitive Scientist—Someone that might be smarter than a historical genius is a cognitive scientist. But since the historical genius is already maximized at being intelligent, the cognitive scientist can only have lots of fun or invent concepts that aren’t so genius. Coherence and Females—Now and then there are smart guys who smart women agree with. But then, less intelligent women completely disagree with them. Coherence, Reception—There is a technical exception that if I have the best possible basic category theory, the best formula for answering every question, a general problem-solving method, a formula for the souls of information, or a Theory of Anything, then complaints aren’t very appropriate. Sure you can complain, but it starts to seem like you don’t prefer the best, but something else instead. Coherent Symmetries—In coherence, asymmetry is analogous to incoherence, but the overall symmetry of coherence absorbs an infinite number of asymmetries if they meet certain criteria. Coherence, Violation—In philosophy, violation of coherence is violation of universalism. Really only systems would violate coherence, real-life beings would be immune from such violation. In some important ways though, systems cannot violate coherence either, because what is coherent is often coherent by ‘one standard’: for example, a coherent metaphysics would be a universal metaphysics, trying to meet criteria for universal metaphysics. A theory of anything would be a universal theory, and would be judged by the standards of universal theories. Once the criteria are taken into account, theories are successful or failed relative to the criteria. If the criteria are especially strong, then the theory is strong. Coherent Writing—What is meant by a text has to be semantically and pragmatically coherent? I would use it instead to refer to systems. A system should be semantically coherent, which is a high-minded way of saying that it should use symbols coherently. And it should be pragmatically coherent which is a high-minded way of saying it must actually be de facto coherent. In ordinary language the goal isn’t to be coherent, it’s to not look like a psychopath. It’s not the same thing. It’s possible to be a crazy coherentist just like it’s possible to be an incoherent person who doesn’t sound like a psychopath. In other words, to understand things as actually being coherent in the logical, universal sense would require accepting that someone may be a psychopath without looking like one is one way to look at it. Another part is that it may involve accepting that someone who doesn’t look like a psychopath may be fallible. To me these are logical moves, but they are not the current conventions as of 2023. Collectible Cards—Some products were formed only for their monetary value. Collectible cards is one example. Some partial examples are chrome plating, wishes, and purses. College—I think a lot of people are sold on college thinking it is about the fall weather that fall weather and church and bank accounts and girlfriends are somehow made of college. But that is not true. People who go to college may get some artificial opportunities that are not available outside school, the main question is would you die if you did not have them? Possibly not. Possibly life would be fine either way, if we just had opportunities the college problem would be solved. And, like I said, if you could really hear me, it does not provide girlfriends or bank accounts, quite possibly the opposite. Comedians—Soulless evil murderers. In real life it is the truth that’s funny, but that doesn’t make it a joke. Comparison to Leibniz—Like gifted education teachers. They look for: (1) Variety of achievements. (2) Exceptional achievements in math. (3) Actually knowing many foreign languages. (4) Extra points if the person doesn’t go insane… So, for example, Leibniz would score high in all those areas. I would score high in achievements if you assume I’m original and if my accomplishments don’t disappear into the mist, but less so math, foreign languages, and sanity. Competitive Academic Markets—Academics tend to be underpaid and in some cases actually rely on their earnings just to survive, so if you do not offer significant money, sometimes it is possible the talent will simply disappear within 40 years or less never to be found again. On the other hand, if you spend too much on one person you may never find out that you paid the wrong person or that other people have talent they might offer for less money. So, competitive markets are a factor too. Perhaps the best policy is to pay bottom dollar to as many people as possible, unless they might do better work for free and still have a way to support themselves. Complex Technologies—They are not particularly disadvantageous as long as we look for what we really want. On the other hand, sophistication can be a distraction if the goal is to invent something simple. Conference Attendees—They like paying money I think. Confucius—Gracious to his followers. Conservation Laws—To my knowledge conservation was not really formalized in real history until around the 1990’s when Brownian Motors were invented. It was thought convenient that if Brownian Motors worked by Brownian forces, some scientists ASSUMED (merely ASSUMED) that no motor would be more efficient, and from this came the IDEA of conservation. Believe it or not, it may have been a grade school teacher who hated my ears who suggested the idea. In this case, hating the ears of a potential perpetual motion inventor meant proposing obstacles to the creation of perpetual motion. I had already thought of the beginning of my concept for a perpetual motion boat around 1992 which was probably before the teacher sent her letter. Conservativism and Perpetual Motion—I think many conservative companies believe the experts. The experts make an educated guess that perhaps since there is not a lot of support for perpetual motion from public education, that probably perpetual motion doesn’t exist. And if it doesn’t exist, they make a broad generalization and specious induction that it can’t. In reality, education is motivated to think that perpetual motion isn’t real because they are trained to think eccentrics and skinny white inventors are ‘crazy’ and ‘homosexual’. These are things that are fun to mock in the teacher’s lounge, which is their main convention of therapy in their harsh work lives. Conspiracy Theories—you’re stuck with the ‘Illuminati’ and lesser variations unless you adopt a whole different set of norms, like ancient China or an alien culture where bureaucrats are deciding about sending Zheng Guo to the moon, or Mr. French the alien wants to know who to order pickles from. Sometimes I wonder if Americans are going communist. With social systems it can be hard to tell, there can be layers of intrigue so to speak, layers of alternate systems or secret loopholes, perhaps. Continental Philosophy Dot Org—Boy is it a foolish website. They would think I would visit this website, the problem is, they already visited this website. Sometimes Coleridge trumps the whole world. Conviction—Convincing never works with humans according to intellectuals in the U.S. In Europe it might work because Europeans go for the ‘it is all a deep rational mind game that we are all supposed to understand’ kind of thing. Nathan Coppedge--- In some ways it was more about productivity than real intelligence, but some of the results I have recently are likely highly useful, and the earlier work is not completely without merit. (Though) If you look at where categorical thinking is in IQ it’s not very extreme, or so I have heard. Coppedge Mainstream— Actually, eclectic approaches have earned me online fame. And, mechanics is about as mainstream as it gets for schizophrenia. Nathan Coppedge, Childish Writings—Some of it looks juvenile in the extreme even though I was sane at that point and I’m insane now. I may eventually publish some of them with some analysis. It might be difficult to find wisdom within them, though they might be combed. Nathan Coppedge’s Philosophy—Around 1979 + / - 50 years philosophers in academe were fond of the habit of declaring that the project of knowledge was a flop and people may as well study psychology. It’s yet another case of thinking Nathan is the same as everybody. I don’t really blame you for assuming. I am extremely prolific and not necessarily a bad person to read, but I don’t have the assumptions or the sense of personal dread about knowledge that some academics have. Nathan Coppedge, Poverty—When I started buying cheap specialty soaps my visual creativity went down but my intelligence impact went up. Cheap soap is what is considered a luxury to a lot of people in the lower income bracket. Nathan Coppedge, Similarity to DARPA— Inventor-inventors (those who were traditional figures learn they can gain abstract karma and radically invent the very process of invention. I am here conceptually but not physically. This also may or may not be similar to DARPA). —The Arc of Invention Nathan Coppedge, (On the) Soul—A soul in this sense would just be like having a travel itinerary and the ability to think of smart ideas, pretty much. Although it would not be like that for everyone, and the dark side of things would simply say that there are artificial explanations like it’s a simulation. Physicists are currently turning towards an information universe which may ultimately turn towards a magic universe because that is the natural extension of an information universe. Otherwise people will be left thinking what it really means to have a flat screen, which is something a lot of people have trouble thinking about, because they are secretly nefariously thinking spiritually. Why? Well, in an atheist mentality they believe in the soul because it exists but for no other reason. It was invented. It was invented as a formula for the contents of a book. Nathan Coppedge, Style Choices—I use words with the assumption that others need the same kind of subtle or not-so-subtle emotional mental help. A lot of my writing could actually help someone who has similar brain trauma, because it is empathetic in the same way that I prefer when I am reading. Correspondent Truth—It doesn’t always correspond to emotional facts unless it is emotional truth. In fact I’m not sure if there is solid research on what emotional facts are, but perhaps they exist. There is an ethicist who insists so. RV’s hairbrush: that if a solid theory ignores Nathan Coppedge it makes a pretty good platitude. COVID-19: Title: [Cure for] [Chronic Respiratory Disorder] Soul: If you [practice medicine] [it will not last, or it will affect breathing, or you will have immunity] much as it is [it may affect even doctors]. In the end you'll determine they thought I smoked with my ears and they were trying to thin the herd. It's not true that everyone is like Nathan at all. In fact classic drug addicts and wealthy fat people may be more vulnerable if it weren't for intentional targeting. Crafts: Arts and crafts are similar but diverged. Specifically, abstract art has very little to do with crafts. Crazy Writers: A schizophrenic may be the one willing to behave more like a ‘visionary’ or to make information available on their opinions even when they are not sure the writing has reached perfection. Someone else may wait for their writing to have the ‘sheen of God’ only to discover that they have no time left to make the work public let alone popular. In this context, the schizophrenic gains more education in what it means to be a popular writer unless the sane person has a long memory which encompasses more genuine writerly experiences. Even then, they would still need a motivation to write. It is words like ‘genuine’ that completely debase the image of the schizophrenic, though with no particular deference to what may be called ultimate justice. In retrospect schizophrenics can seem like much more genuine people, if only because they sometimes have an intuition for historic greatness. Creative Knowledge—By the time you have been creative, you are on track for knowledge or not, or perhaps you discover one and not the other. Creativity—Don’t get caught up in this paranoid stuff about how borrowing visions or seeing ghosts is so important. There is no official framework for inspiration. There is a perspective from which humans are a very young and primitive species. Why dwell on such negative feelings? You are obviously wasting time, or have something else to do than inventing or creating. Remember if the aliens own the photons and sue us, then we might be f***ed. So don’t believe in the aliens, there are no good outcomes with that kind of thinking. Creativity, Exceptions—If you’re a musician you have to realize you’re on your own creative plateau. And if you want to use radical ideas, there are domains you should study before you will be much qualified to create the future: at least thinkers from the last 20 years at the least. Crime—In practice, a lot of people feel deceived because they are not permitted to run a profitable business or live wherever they want or live the perfect life. Some of it may be possible sometimes, but there is so much disappointment at other times that it is almost as if common decency is not expected. This is one of the reasons so many people turn to crime. The good reality doesn’t seem like an option (to them). By the time you describe something like smoking marijuana as a good thing, it sounds over-the-top because someone already thinks just feeling average is really better than average. Crime in Baltimore—It wasn’t that safe on any given day. It’s like groups of people would potentially rob an armored car if they had the chance. It was much less safe at night than during the day, but definitely not safe for kids to go alone unless maybe they’re geniuses who could trick an adult and act like a thug without falling for anything. Even then, there could be a long-term impact just from interacting with people. Critical Assumptions—I have predicted the number 160 indicates meaninglessness wherever it appears. Rules like that may change our assumptions about how much actual variation is in the universe. Croissant: A better alternative may be black beans. Crystals: Potentially worth money because you will always have crystals in your life (they are 4-dimensional), but otherwise, not much. Maybe more dreaming or less, or fewer nightmares, but not a big effect. Culture of the 1700’s—Saying I was an unquestionably reasonable and subtle person does not necessarily cut it. It was the entire culture, it was the lack of scientific critique. It was like everyone was divine even if they were idiots. Whatever impulse someone had could be celebrated as an intellectual enterprise. Cunningness—A high school teacher around 2000 said, “[As far as intelligence…] cunning is pretty much becoming obsolete, as people don’t need to trick each other so much, now they get in trouble with the elements of the law.” Curse of Africa-America: Is that they ‘both have paradise but the devil goes to Africa’. Curses—I think, though this may sound unclear, over the long-term, science is based on ethical claims which were made empirically, that if magic occurred, although originally it seemed very possible, it only seems to happen through unlucky or negativistic processes, so therefore, there is no point ethically in believing it. In a post-ethical world we can through science take ethical claims for granted using common sense. “Custom” art — Sorry to say it, but I think that’s originally what was called ‘trash art’. Art that couldn't possibly appeal to the artist who created it. I’m just in a bad mood right now. Cyborgs---You just want to be a robot XXX cyborgs. If too many people replace their eye, it becomes much more difficult to reproduce human eyeballs, because the humans aren’t selecting for natural eyeballs. But this in turn could make humans anti-survival because they are no longer pro-biology, they want to remove their own body parts and the body parts of others. Dark Side of the American Dream--- The old problem is hard to remember in the U.S. but there were people who worked in the fields before industrialization, then worked in factories during industrialization, and the American dream was to have a job so one could get married and have kids who would supposedly do the same. That's what was said anyway, not sure I have yet done a tour of the unsaid. Da Vinci, Leonardo—On Gravity: I believe in this regard he primarily studied water ripples and catapult ballistics. The mathematical results seemed to be based primarily on estimations and a sense of some relation to regular geometry. Not quite sure otherwise, I have not seen more than about two or three pages of his work on this. I am also not great at reading left-handed Italian. Death—Later he may have said that if he left it alone, maybe it would just disappear, and sure enough it did. Maybe this explains ‘ashes to ashes and dust to dust’: humans being ashes and fake models being dust. Decline of Human Civilizations—Caffeine. Coffee, is the cause of decline in human civilizations. If people weren’t depressed from coffee, we’d live in an intellectual golden age. On the other hand, we’d probably also literally feel brain damaged more than half the time. Deep Fakes—Do the people look kind of average or attractive and the scene looks familiar for no reason? It might be a deep fake or a made-for-TV film. Remember, similar scenes used to kind of jar the mind even 20 years ago, even on major television channels. So, if we get a relaxed feeling and the people are attractive it’s probably deep fake or someone with occult powers. On the other hand, some videos like VE Project are not deep fake, but conventional fake combined with scene cutting, thus they do not cause relaxation but they are nonetheless often fake. But one can’t always generalize. Deleted Blogs—The biggest mistake I know of other than global warming and genocide or maybe the mishandling of the malaria vaccine, is the arbitrary deletion of many blogs since the year 2000. These blogs contained the culmination of human individual knowledge, but in a form traditionalists were unaccustomed to. Democracy—and Socialism: if you want to sell drugs socialism might be great, until you become rich and you want all the benefits. I personally hate drugs, but love capitalism if it is democratic enough. Devil’s Gambit—”Theory of Everything”? Forget the italics. But do they have the Theory? In some cases they may need a Theory of Everything if they want a Theory of Everything. I call this the devil’s gambit meaning either Einstein’s loss or my win. Daniel Dennett—Not metaphysical enough. Leonardo Da Vinci—I think it’s possible Da Vinci emerged as a novelty in modern times. It’s just possible they make an excuse now and then for something as smart as a computer. Degenerates--- A lot of the good things go to the degenerates---sexual fetishes, hormones, physical strength, creativity, belief systems, great ambitions, happiness, laziness, fear of danger… DiMeglio—Genetically-related maggots that normally didn’t reproduce had a transcendent vision. It is important to remember I’m not in a relationship with DiMeglio. Depression—Moderate sadness can potentially be a virtue, but it’s not that depression is inherently a sin. It could be a sin to be depressed if it is uncontrollable or has harmful consequences, or in the sense that feeling terrible feels bad. What I mean is there are no expected automatic consequences for depression. It does not deserve punishment. It’s simply something bad, in the sense of feeling bad. If you feel bad because you murdered someone, that is called a sin, though the depression itself would not be a sin, though it might be seen as a punishment for a sin. Determinism, Critique—The problem is, what does ‘determined preferences’ mean? A custom computer? That’s where it kind of dead-ends. 1: We need to know the preferences to know what people want to achieve. 2: A custom computer supposedly represents determinism, but we all don’t need a custom computer. 3: Customization of said computer varies, even once we accept the premise. So, it’s not like everyone gets the same ‘brand’ of determinism, which kind of scuttles the metaphor. 4: Computers are material things, which goes against determinism being a scary abstraction. 5: Customizing is more like free will than determinism. The Devil—The most terrifying devil stuff comes through God. It’s pointless baloney writ large. Rumor is when death is played, even most gods would die. Devils—Devils think if someone isn’t jealous of devils, then they’re some kind of billionaire or something. But in real life the person who isn’t jealous is more like a masturbator or someone talented. Dimensions, Collapsed—It may also be important to realize up to three of the higher dimensions are accessed partly through isometry from our standpoint plus some causal essence properties, and dimensionism, and some philosophy concepts, so it may be misleading to think that dimensions are inherently more complex as they develop. Ideally they are complex, mostly only if their properties are maximized. There may indeed be such a thing as ‘collapsed higher dimensions’. (2023–08–11) Dimensions, Necessary—I often say there may be at least 11 and up to 100 or more. In fact, according to mathematics there is no real limit on the number of dimensions, though one could still choose that only some dimensions are ‘necessary’. (2023–08–11) Dirtiness — I think dirtiness is a reflection on cleanness. In that way it is more philosophical. Dirty Disconnect—Most of what I read is my own writing on Quora, probably for good reason. I find a ‘dirty disconnect’ with others’ work in almost any medium, with the exception of a few precious rare authors. Divine Beauty---Roughly, how superficially divine someone is, and a book someone wrote. If superficially divine is a good card, beauty is good, otherwise you want to be authentically divine or normal. DNA Transience—Unless there are immortality treatments, most of the smiling happy people you see now will be gone within the next 40 - 70 years. I don’t mean vacationing in Florida. Their DNA probably will no longer be usable unless it was studied in a laboratory. Done in with the Pen---Zilch (ed), I think it's from Ziliched meaning pilfered or played for a fool by something. Like, Ziliched by the music school of Zurich. Ziliched kind of means stood up or used up, possibly in one's best moment. It could also be related to The Death of Ivan Ilyich, a novella by Leo Tolstoy, which is known as a terminal struggle written well. In other words, done in with the pen. It can be an illustration of financial mistakes. “This isn't very smart.” ---Katy R. XD Dongfang—Might not really cure headaches. John Donne—He probably felt like a human being. It is possible to feel like a human being, but it is not the only desirable goal. Dopamine—Dopamine is basically pain, so I don’t see the point in measuring it. You’d do better measuring sugar content or introspection. In my mind the dopamine cycle is more destructive than the serotonin cycle. Not everyone has much dopamine at all it seems like, it seems like it comes from destructive drugs. I suppose some have dopamine for productivity without feeling it. ‘doraemon’—Even in the best case they’re bound to be disillusioned that others don’t act like them. Common sense for such a character is a nightmare. Which suggests they may have some sadistic tendencies. Doubt—Doubt is a pleasant condition, but there are better conditions. Doom—There is no perfect doom. Doom is the end of all good things. We aim to avoid all forms of doom except pleasure. Doomsayers—I kind of hope humanity recovers from the doom. The environment is probably sort of doomed, but I think humanity will still have resources to some degree due to urbanization. What worries me is what happens when the tons of plastic get melted into the ocean by oceanic faults that might increase toxicity and the amount of poison gas in the atmosphere. The other major problem other than global warming and dangerous politics or food shortages is when the Sun blows up in about a billion and a half years or whenever they said it would happen, or maybe problems with the Andromeda galaxy moving towards the Milky Way. DP—I suppose the biggest factor is ideally there is more depth and responsibility with academic texts. Double Standards—Does normal mean having parents with full-time jobs, having a $10,000 bank account, and drinking three or more coffees a day? Not a lot of people would qualify, in real life, right now even though many surveys will assume someone meets those standards just to be considered a person at all. Dreams, Explanation of Depth—Possibly the dreams are legacy from the 1st of three or more worlds. Driving Cars—As a kind of drug: Cars would be more durable, except they are designed as consumer items where there is ‘added excitement’ often in the form of real and present danger, particularly from the driving itself (and how expensive it is). Drugs, Narcotics—My studied opinion on drugs from a past life or two is that they can make people more sensitive several liftetimes later, but they are not good for sensitive people. You’d have to be the worst kind of hard nuthead to benefit from crack cocaine. It’s basically worse than death. Drugs and Inventions: In general, I'm not sure it ever happens that way. Drug-induced hallucinations tend to work with well-worn ruts of the imagination. But one that did seem drug-induced was the ‘ordinary’: one of the early bicycles. However, it may just have been the location in the city where the bicycle was located that made me think that way. I myself am not one for drugs, or ordinaries. Drugstores—Smaller stores are cheaper to own real estate wise and offer many of the same products. If they have high turnover with their products they may end up doing much better business than a larger store compared to the expense of owning and caring for the property. There may be exceptions, if a large store is exceptionally-well-located, but I think some aren’t. Dunning-Kruger: There are those who will say it is a drug of various kinds. Dynamic Thing— It could be both. Dyson Sphere—The latest news is we should just shield the Earth or move the Earth, however, it is not easy, and building around the entire Sun is not a better option. Using the Sun’s energy near the sun as a heat shield against itself may be a good option. For example, enhanced solar-powered reverse-forcefields. Dystopianism—I think humans are basically at Medieval level, except feeling dumb from all the drugs. Cyborgs will probably go extinct, because it has all the characteristics of rejecting human genetic material. Ebonics—I have caught myself starting sentences with ‘If you’ (not so) which I imagine could annoy people, however, I have found it is the most convenient way to start sentences in the formula for souls that I constructed, so I have trouble avoiding it. I imagine people who start with ‘so’ have a similar reasoning. There can be depth to these things. Kind of like how genuine ebonics (say, from Ellison’s Invisible Man, or maybe there are better examples) actually sounds smarter than a lot of American high school students. Genuine human grammatical systems can go out the window if we ignore our instincts, and some of these systems preserve thinking patterns that wouldn’t exist without the grammatical structure. This is part of how I learned how to read Chinese. Eccentric—Sociologically, what is interesting is not a lot of actions are necessary before someone becomes classified as an eccentric, as if the vast majority of people are expected to do absolutely nothing with their lives. (Example of eccentricity: For example, someone rich who did a lot of things for the world might be eccentric if they put a bunch of Greek statues on their lawn). Economic Reality in the U.S.—A lot of people think they are as smart as their parents and are often wrong, or even if they are as smart, they don’t always earn as much, because they are not good with people compared to someone who does well with the opposite sex. Economy, China— In a communist system the prices might be fixed, but there is no free market so there is no natural way to determine prices in communism, everything becomes artificial and fake. People are hit constantly with ‘the government determined this’ so it is not as enjoyable. In communism if the local polit buro chief wants the price of ramen to be an insult about your underwear, he could do it, there is no sense of fairness. It is not economically determined necessarily. This is where it becomes evident that China is only succeeding because it’s smart, not really 100% because of communism at all. Education—Education matters. But it has to come from somewhere. Educators have their moments. Effeminacy—I think it’s not always gay people, sometimes it’s people who want to live well or learn to love education and technology. Traditionally women were seen as anti-education and anti-conquest, which leads to men who are interested in ‘philosophy’ and ‘weapons’. Electromagnetism—Maybe I don’t grasp electromagnetism, but it falls within the 0 to 1 range, and I have some keys to having higher efficiency than that entire range. Electronics Market—If it were as simple as the civilization games from the 1990’s people would find software much more appealing. As of now people can barely find a computer with a USB port or CD drive, let alone the motivation to buy new software just to play around. I’m blaming the funding going into VR. If companies just improved the graphics on VR games, people could at least have immersive virtual worlds. I’m not sure I have enough reason to ‘move’ there yet. Elon musk’s Take on Nathan Coppedge—Elon Musk has commented on me on rare occasions saying that he thinks I’m a ‘sad, desperate individual’. Apparently he either doesn’t think I’m very useful or prefers doing other things. Embarrassment—In particular, embarrassment helps socially-perceived-as-ugly-gay-or-embarrassing people cope with people who are treated as more popular or authoritative, e.g. it can be a symptom of fear, conformity, or complexity. Sometimes embarrassment is even a sign of social authority, as shown during the late medieval period when it could be a sign of grace and politeness and therefore modesty and nobility. Blushing was very acceptable at one time but became less so. Originally embarrassment meant doing something foolish and perhaps dangerous, which was more than just appearing flustered. It meant stepping out of line with one’s parents or other authorities by doing something deliberate and hurtful or irrational. Emotional Conspiracies—‘Conspiracy reality’ is not a thing. While there may be things called ‘conspiracies’ the emotions of conspiracies are not attached to real life, so there is no conversion between ‘conspiracy reality’ and ‘reality’. Emotional Intelligence—Highly emotional people tend to be highly intuitive, but they also tend to suffer highly painful deaths. That’s my guess anyway. Gluttons for punishment. I’m highly intuitive but not highly emotional and it seems to make me more intelligent. Emotional Significance—It can be about understanding oneself, inner searching, or it can be about understanding others, empathy. In academe these are rather specific areas to pursue that often involve unsatisfying answers. Empiricism---Some rational people are crazy, and some empiricists are deists, so it's ambiguous unless you prefer empiricism. It could be your worst moment and it might not be empirical, then what would you think about empiricism? Emperors—Genuinely, mythologically, the first paper money existed some thousands of years after 8500 BC. It was a confusing time full of ‘Buddha wars’ and ‘new emperors’. The ancient gods were losing power to the emperor, and gradually quite a few people represented the emperor’s power. Money was one of the things the emperor loved supposedly. By modern times emperors were seen rightly or wrongly as effeminate boondoggles. Encouragement for Thoughtful Insensitive People—Empathetic answer from my standpoint then again I only test a smidgeon emotional. But I have high intuition for what it’s worth, maybe 93% in myers-briggs if I exaggerate and I am also about 89% introvert. Encyclopedias—“They can be annoying to get rid of, and pretty handy to have around.” —JF Energy Economy—I think the problem with this is that energy is not useful unless it is expended. Thus, it is not a good form of valued property, because the only way to make use of it is to permanently destroy it. If you have perpetual motion though you could theoretically use electric current as a way to ‘gain’ money, although the electricity itself would not itself be money. (For input from someone on this see: Evergreen Thoughts, Joel Dietz—A new theory of money Energy Industry—If you think of scientifically-backed perpetual motion subsidies, it’s hard to think of a cushier situation for the energy industry when reinvested properly. Energy Spectrum—The narrow band from 0 to 1 is not all of reality, it is just what we are accustomed to. Engineering, advice—If you want to discover something great and you are an engineer, you should focus on electricity, computers, cars, physics, or become an inventor, or just use your brain. England--English might be the cheapest repeating culture, but we don't know the others. English Theatre —”He concluded that even in literature France had something to learn from England; his experience of Shakespearean theatre was overwhelming, and, however much he was shocked by the ‘barbarism’ of the productions, he was struck by the energy of the characters and the dramatic force of the plots.” —Encyclopedia britannica on Voltaire’s opinion Enlightened Masters—Enlightened masters sound seedy to me, I find it worth saying. I don’t know any kind of karma that would put someone there, so it sounds quite impossible or made up. Perhaps they are really former prostitutes is one guess, even if they are male. They have a similar kind of broken thinking to prostitutes. Stuff that sounds completely made up but makes sense to them. ‘Them’ in some kind of boogeyman sense, because at some point they probably intimidated a lot of people. What I think of enlightened masters is if I knew you personally my guess is I would hate you worse than my brother who tried to kill me. But possibly you have some kind of expensive ‘grace’ that makes you look good. This doesn’t mean I intend harm, I am just not sure how I could ever work with you to do good. You’re just trying to cross people off is what it sounds like. Well, my professional advice is magic = quantum bad luck, that is the literal definition. I did some magic and ended up on psychiatric meds. Maybe this is the dark side, but maybe that was too. If you’re superwoman doing magic my guess is you are someone’s avatar or maybe made up by someone gifted who doesn’t understand life, that’s my explanation for your behavior. If you’re pro-drugs, you will get in drug trouble, if you’re anti-drugs you will probably lose your mind. Otherwise, and maybe in any case you’re in major karma doodoo. Why did I say this stuff? Maybe because I have bad luck because I know magic. Though compared to superwoman I probably don’t, is what scares me. I have freaking destroyed branches of a tree. The manipulation level is in league with billionaires, at least once you add some funny characters. I probably would love your help but right now it just sounds like bad luck because of my circumstance. I have received too many minor threats to not feel very wary of strangers, let alone the supernatural. If you’re pioneering, some of my documents in excel are pretty great, but I think it is inevitable they will either be abused or under-powered like a lot of things like this. Perpetual motion really matters, but it might die, and humanity with it. And I don’t want to say, possibly gods with humanity. Enlightenment—Enlightenment is no longer available say the experts. If you study it a bit you will find it’s no miracle that this is the case. Spiritual teachers are tired of receiving people that would seek enlightenment as a way to postpone a diet, or out of sheer blindness to their situation. Virtually everyone is like this today, and I’m not elevating myself by saying this. It’s not even sad anymore. Eöt-Wash Group---How about localized gravity? Eternalism---I think in the 3rd dimension there's always the equivalent of one privileged window if things are analyzed correctly. The problem is if we can't analyze or if no one is operating the window. Eternal Return—I think people who support it are just uncomfortable sometimes being a man or sometimes being a woman. Ethical Limitations--- You could become an ethicist who supports principles of behavior, or you could become a systematician for example by interpreting my works. The reason it is not primarily ethics is easy to explain: ethics is not the only theory, and systems aim to be comprehensive. Eugenicists---I’m not an expert on that, however, I think they usually aren’t precisely psychopaths. I think if you study this you realize they don’t hate everyone, they just think they hate certain people, or certain outcomes. Euler—It’s the same mentality, it’s just not about making fireballs anymore. Europe—Americans just have to know the magic words and they can convince European women to go crazy and go to the U.S. But European men want to stay and battle it out. European Humor—I bought a book of Polish jokes, which I found somewhat offensive, although it almost convinced me to be religious. I also bought a book of Romanian or Turkish (supposedly intellectual) jokes, and found although I understood part of it it was not worth reading. European Strategy (Contemporary)—So, Europe could benefit by becoming more like the U.S. and more like builders of perpetual motion, but only if they become rich, as Rich Culture is the culture that will succeed next. The alternative is likely not a Golden Age, or is localized. Everybody dies—Although ‘everybody dies’ is similar to a theory of everything, it does not provide an exact formula. It would be a mistake to accord credit to this one theory in regards to a theory of everything if it is not a complete theory and if a world where everything dies turns out to have no lasting significance. Evil Geniuses—Almost everyone super-talented is a stretched case in terms of how good they feel or how ethically good they are. Or they have no legacy, or a volcano explodes or something. In rare cases people think their ego is the source of the world’s discomfort and they are set aside as a bizarre anomaly who might have conquered India or ruined the peanut crop, etc. Seizing the day might be evil or it might not, but it can have consequences either way. I think that’s how geniuses see it. Evil Rich People—Some of the things some rich people justify are clearly not the right justifications from an ethical view. But they’re rich, goes the story. That is one of the reasons to be rich. And arguments based on power are all about this type of stuff, usually without giving away specifics. Evokation—Evokation requires God. God is an honest interpretation. Evolution—”The future should have a similar time scale if genetic engineering does not happen. In 1 million years we’ll be a different species but still obviously human. Picture some Outer Limits episode. In 5 million years we’ll be different enough to no longer count as humans. Genetic engineering throws all of that out of the window.” —Doug Freyburger's answer to Is it highly likely that future generations millions of years from now, if they still exist by then, will look completely unrecognizable to humans today? Exceptionalism [Politics] — Note: Political Exceptionalism (a particular general brand of political ideology with I think a poorly chosen name) has nothing to do with philosophical logic exceptions at all. The philosophy of logical exceptions may not have been founded until April 9, 2016, whereas political isolationism dates back to at least the Chinese Golden Age. The Existence— The existence’ is then the condition of waiting, or alternately having achieved everything. The sense of being on the edge of Time. This may be one reason one of Heidegger’s major works is called ‘Being and Time’. One way to view it would be the dramatization of the city using the mind. One of the implications is that this kind of life is the kind that has mental benefits. Existential Crisis like Borderline Schizophrenia—It’s okay not to feel real unless you have a reality problem in which case you probably do feel real. Experts—Then again, most of them take coffee too early and burn out before their prime. “Expert Systems”—Actual expert systems are not open-source, that seems to be the latest news. Extroversion, Dangers—If it weren’t for venereal disease, abuse, peer pressure, and drugs, extroversion might be a lot safer so long as they are perceptive people. Facades, See-through—It can be a sign of Damasque windows… Fairy Tale Stories —The transcendent today succeeds to transcend the fairy tale, like the successful fairy tale succeeds to transcend myth. For example, if Marie Antoinette is literally the devil, but invents perpetual motion, she seems to succeed in being too real to be mythological. Likewise, if someone starts their own business and becomes a billionaire, that is somehow more real and legitimate than being a mere fairy tale story image like sleeping beauty or peter pan. Fake Smiling—My medication makes me fake smile to try to encourage me to be happier, so I would say most people who fake smile have no control over it. In that case, there is not much useful to say. If you smile and you enjoy it, good for you, because most people don’t. That’s my guess anyway. I personally feel understood when people understand that I am happier when I am not made to smile like a fake plastic moron who wants his brains blown out. Falsifiability and Mathematical Consistency—In the simple sense of falsifiability mathematical consistency would be the opposite, unless math was falsifiable. The complex assumedly robust sense of falsifiability already sets a standard for itself which might be mathematically consistent though not necessarily. If people question mathematical foundations, they could question consistency even without questioning falsifiability. At that point it looks like an erroneous comparison, begging the question of assuming the consequence, because what do physical models depend on except mathematics? Claiming that something is falsifiable may be nifty way of saying it’s not falsifiable in philosophy. Fantasy, Critique of—Fantasy has it’s ups and downs basically. It involves fantasy / the fantastic / the imaginative. It can cause depression. Far side—Is supposed to sound like cave men. Fates—It is said they sell flux-vortex things. They have said people don’t understand them. Female Dog—Watch out if you want to be the opposite of God. Some women have problems too. Feral Children—It is noted that even the last of the aborigenes did not count as feral children, because they had an elaborate system of culture which made nature more pallatable to them. Fighters—They often lose some part of ambition, pleasure, authority, sometimes intelligence. Fluff Classes—I have also been told the point is to tell good students that they’re good, so they can graduate, and discourage really bad students from becoming socially degenerate nincompoops. Raenna Foeller—Raenna Foeller is rumored to be the perfect linguist or semiotician. Fortunate Truth—I think it’s sometimes used to refer to Fortunate Man, Dragon’s Treasure, Emperor’s Soup, Cloissone Egg, Treasure Bird, Perpetual Motion… Fortunetellers--There are times where occultists are complete shamsters or a bad match. Forward Blindness— I believe this concept in innovation is called ‘forward blindness’: first everything is and endless number of problems, but once the solutions arrives, it is treated as if it is fateful and perfect. Actually, if people tried harder or had better technological options, there would be more solutions available than otherwise. Benjamin Franklin, As Inventor of Electricity—I think the Egyptian battery is a myth. Volta’s battery is from 1799, when Franklin was nine years dead supposedly. Fraternities—Seem to attract people who want obscurity and physical danger. Even with something like the ‘omega society’ it can make absolute geniuses look like they are non-celebrities advertising a fast food restaurant. Free Income—It depends, a super-above-average person deserves an above-average job. An average person deserves a below average job. The most ambiguous category is the slightly-above-average person who might or might not deserve an average job, or the disabled person who might deserve a job or might not. This is where the free income system comes from: three out of the four deserve a bad job or might not deserve a good job, 1/4 might deserve a job but might want a better one. No one is satisfied with jobs, everyone is satisfied with money. Gottlob Frege—Responsible for some meanings, which seemed new. The French—Basically they were / are really good at being Early Modern, even in the future. Freud—He is good with biases, but a bit too medical for me. Some say Freud was hiding behind a veil of IQ. People too often don’t notice the rule that if you can critique one person you can critique another person. Frivolity, Also Called Vicarious Pleasures— Life became ‘information-packed’ and reading books became less popular as a way to spend time. Somehow that made it seem like there were few truly frivolous pastimes. This made it seem less enjoyable, though really it shouldn’t be. Garbage—Garbage is real, or there is a God. Generalism—This is why the true generalist has such an interesting game: they may be making a bold claim to actually make general claims, but if they are actually a true generalist, then for some reason they are actually right in spite of most claims to generality being arguments from authority. Most generalists though are a little bit wrong, but they are nice enough to want you to notice the way in which they’re wrong. General Questions—They are GENERAL questions of things like Life, the Universe, and Everything which are worth considering even from a position of privilege, and not always for personal benefit, except to find a not-so-humble (sometimes very humble) form of personal meaning. Generation Gap—The people from 1979 are aliens today, even if some of them are still alive. Generators, Gas—People generally use them to run equipment temporarily or to recharge large batteries for a car or house if they are off in the wilderness. There aren’t a whole lot of other uses except things like welding where you need to work outdoors. Geniuses, advice—If you are thinking of becoming a great genius, you should focus on becoming a god, or calculus, or analysis, otherwise you may want to be an inventor or an engineer. Geniuses, Great Geniuses—Sometimes the violinist is completely unknown even if she performs. Sometimes the greatest inventors are sort of average. Sometimes the eccentric person who seemed dull sweeps all the cards. Sometimes the violinist is the smartest person in the room. Genius IQ—The real geniuses can be hard to guess: it’s whoever makes real lasting contributions, not necessarily the people who score the highest in IQ. It can be a reasonable strategy to rank people high if they make contributions for the sake of the record, otherwise the record often looks scanty. Genocide--- I have been a bit worried for several months, in spite of being famous. My guess is if there is a major genocide in the U.S. they.are targeting a lot of poor people and people with low IQ. Really they could choose to save gays because they don't compete or black people because they make good soldiers, so I would categorically say genocide is crazy. Most people juet don't reproduce as much as they think. They may as well just encourage abortion pills, it would have the same effect. Geography & Technology—Actually, geographic dispersal, ironically, is a matter of physical complexity. Geographic efficiency is an illusion except at the highest levels of complexity. German Philosophers—What if an understanding of space-time existed in Eastern Mysticism before Einstein’s time? It sounds like the way Heidegger advertised the yin-yang, or the way Leibniz advertised Chinese language. What if it’s part of a trend of Germans promoting Chinese or Indian ideas? Glass---They lied, and said it wasn't priceless it was valuable. God--Ann Bolyn is not god, she is the founder of a religion who invented the 3rd dimension, and so it goes around the table. If there is a God, it could be someone trying to make barbies out of toenails. Maybe God was a shotgun that time-traveled. Goethe: I am torn between thinking Goethe is too pessimistic to read and thinking he is a painful universal masturbator, and that he is primarily a linguist who has not solved every problem and is looking for a coup d' grace. Katy's critique is Goethe may be a Darwinist. This way, it is possible to interpret him as a psychological manipulator. Basic psychology, not a luciferized system Gonsalves, Ron— [Artist who painted brilliant fantasy illusions] Said, I know that’s spooky, I want you to feel it for yourself. Harsh Manwani's answer to What are some amazing pictures one has to see twice to understand? Scott S. Gordon — Faith-based physics system, one of those counter-probability systems. Government Debt —The whole economy seems bigger than bonds, unless we consider only a few people who own the majority of bonds. Thus, really the problem of government debt is almost exclusively between the U.S. government and the billionaires who took advantage of the U.S. bond system. Yet billionaires may not want to have the authority to take over the whole U.S. government if it is internally better able to lead itself than are a few rich individuals. And if billionaires took over government they would probably have to pay off their own debt to themselves, which wouldn’t work well financially. Thus, it’s a bit of a crux. Plus, there is a bit of a fact that debts acquired by banks in turn balanced with the Federal Government are precisely how banks generate income, and how the government remains debt-free as far as banks. Essentially, because there would be no money without the Federal Government. Graduation—Now that I look smart online, I’m not really put on a pedestal in school anymore. Yes, sadly I’m still in school. I might graduate from undergrad in the next two to four years. Unless of course there’s no such thing as graduating. I’ve gotten news they will send me a diploma if a meet qualifications once I pass a few more courses. (Subsidies) / Graft—Basically, the system is saved by subsidies / graft or something similar. Better than making geniuses and able-bodied people starve just because you’re not making them work a menial job for no reason. It is important though that these extra incomes are run by the government and adjusted for inflation, not run by organized crime. Great Apes—My first memory of apes was in a past-life as a Chinese god. Apes seemed like utter aliens, sort of stealthy aliens, hard to think about. They were called the ‘father race’ I believe. Like they were a race of men without any women. Great Women—They end up looking greedy, divine, and not as great. One explanation is that having kids is more likely as a woman, and that having kids always costs money and takes time away from creativity. Women compete with thousands or millions of single men who have something supposedly idealistic to strive for without looking or having to be quite as greedy or socially burdened. Maybe men are more likely to go crazy or to be sent to a war, but women have problems too. It might be that traditionally male problems are more easily solved by looking like a genius than female problems. A female genius could be seen as poorly adapted or unfortunate, whereas a male genius always looks like they are finding success. This is not just objectively, but in terms of the low expectations laid out for men in terms of romantic achievement. Greed---Scientists, politicians, dancers, and actors in places with free money, third stage of culture. Gregorian Calendar—It’s not supposed to be called the Gregorian calendar, it’s supposed to be called the Julian calendar. But if it’s called the Gregorian calendar, as far as what it’s called, that’s what it is. Gregorian chant is potentially more intellectual than thinking about Julius Caesar, though with some limitations such as not inspiring people to think of vignettes or not inspiring people to think of perpetual motion machines. Since Gregorianism sounds more English Gregorianism may be more appealing to anglophiles, and probably it makes sense not to teach everyone Italian. Guns—Guns should be done to death with as little coherent physical contact as possible. In other words, they should be known, not used. The replacement for war is a valuable category to fill, even if nothing else. Jürgen Habermas—Excessively Christian. Habits—Habits do not have the power they once had and in a way that’s a bad thing. Hallucinogens—Is it more that people like it, or is it that some insensitive people like that they don’t like it? (Graham) Harman—Good ideas, unnecessarily obscure. Harvard—Wave paradox is about what Harvard is worth sometimes. You might say their papers are way more useful than average, but technically that’s a logical fallacy. They would dick a paper, or they’re insincere, or they use logical fallacies, or they enjoy teaching about logical fallacies. Harvey, S.—Basically he’s God because he hasn’t been sent to hell yet. He has millions of times more fun than Nathan. I usually take that as a bad sign. Roger Uilein said in humility “He’s not a people”. He’s somehow worth more points than thinking. People say it doesn’t really make sense. It’s like a large chunk of what’s considered fairness is floating somewhere near him. But it doesn’t make sense all the way. Maybe he has alien IQ but then I wonder how he got it if he’s a human being. Maybe everyone white lives in a sweatshop in China with a microchip. (For) Hawking—It was totally made up that I had a special soul of physics when I claimed I was selling my soul for physics. Stephen Hawking—Did he say "M-theory is the unified theory of everything"? Sounds like a fake quote to me. My guess is if he said that he meant, it’s the best available theory at that time, maybe around 2010 - 2016. He was known to make these short not necessarily very honorable efforts to schematize knowledge for other people, in an effort to suck up to bill gates. Headaches—It’s intellectuals with headaches who might not want exercise, because then they feel if they exercise there’s nothing good about their life. Heat—As far as I understand it goes along with the theory that energy is neither created nor destroyed. It’s a kind of assumption, but it’s widely accepted by science based on observation. It is essentially just the idea that heat energy is created in various ways, and always goes somewhere. If you believe everything is made expressly of heat energy, then the theory works. Newton’s or Einstein’s theory would give a way to express how heat energy works. Although, technically, Newton’s theory isn’t based only on heat energy, it is also based on mechanics. Heat (Losses)—For example, how bodies get cold in the winter. It’s really possible to have a house without a fire or stove or electric heating and to almost freeze to death. If one way we die, and one way we don’t die, that suggests that sometimes there are heat losses. Heaven—You may as well call it an after-life if there’s food to eat, but that would mean you’re alive not dead. Thank you JF for such insights. Hedgehogs —They hate communicating, so they communicate by saying they are not communicating, directed only at people that already expect not to communicate. That’s what they really mean by officiation, is understanding that they are special people who do not communicate. Hegelian Mathematics—The most I have heard on this is Hegelian logic can potentially stimulate mathematics, but it is *not exactly* a mathematician’s first choice. In other words, high-level phenomenology is an *alternate* path to mathematics, but you will still need to know some math. It also might not qualify you for a math job. Martin Heidegger—A lingering transcendentalist. Heirloom Assets—Examples of this include for example, museums run by trust funds, the role the U.S. government plays in the economy, traditional industrial equipment like the ‘deere’ tractors (or ‘caterpillar’ or Japanese companies, etc. I don’t necessarily know my brands) which may not always change, or things involving immortality more directly like an immortality elixir or a perpetual motion machine. Hell—So, the universe either currently has very few perpetual motion machines or has a tendency to burn, or both. Hemp—My IQ may have gone down from 136 because of second-hand hemp smoke. Hemp is a nightmare in New Haven. Always near the bus-stops which is a block from where I live. Hexagons—Hexagons are a pretty good compromise between circular sections and rectangular sections, but they produce more difficult navigation and excessive use of roads. And they also require more variation when paired with rectangular sections, creating inconsistent urban environments. My sense is, there is still a use for hexagons, and it is one of my inspirations for the theory of working perpetual motion machines. If hexagons could be used occasionally, modern architecture would in principle be much improved. This is what I call an Aesthetic Adjustment. One might say that hexagons are a paradisal element. Hexagrams, Dangers—When I was Jewish I ended up as a Nazi in my following life and 10 million + Jews died in concentration camps. Not saying that I resemble Hitler, but I am hoping Jewish is not the way to be psychic. Hexameter—There is the devil in it no doubt—Roger U. Hidden Power Structure—For example, black people in jail might have a great time masturbating, while a world leader might secretly be tortured by their wife. Things are not always as they appear. This type of observation is one of the key insights that leads to the understanding of a hidden balance of power that goes beyond assumptions of how people look, sound, and posture. High Reaction-Time—Sort of, but not really. It requires high stress, and doesn’t feel that cool. It’s exponentially more difficult to gain more skill, so it doesn’t make you immortal. It also doesn’t involve literally slowing down or speeding up time. Even in the movies, it’s supposed to be subjective, involving superhuman-level perception of time, to simulate fast reflexes. Higgs—Seeing two Higgs is like dying and masturbating. Better yet, an omen of death. Quantum dangerous masturbation. Higher Dimensions—We can innovate with the soul and with nothingness, that is our main chance. But it is predicted to involve lower average IQs and much longer lifespans. It may still involve dimensions of time somehow, just relativized somehow, as dependent on the theory of multiple-type dimensions. High IQ and Race—Most of the IQ is concentrated in just a few groups such as Ashkenazi Jews and Asians and some higher-functioning families like traditional elites or relatives of geniuses. Highs, Drug highs---It's interesting from a philosophical angle because in a way they're doing the reverse of philosophy unless they go insane. Highs Field-- The highs field is a fake idea, but the reality could be worse. Ponder the idea that if you were God you wouldn't need to get high. There is no natural high. The only good exception to zero sum ultimately is over-unity, or some better idea. Higher dimensions give me hope for drugs, still I think technically drugs are a bad policy and they suck in the third dimension. Historical Geniuses---To philosophers history is boring except that it contains some great philosophers and inventors (‘historical geniuses') who make it more purposeful and interesting. Historical Progress—Optimistically the 21st century is much more advanced than the 20th we would hope. This is one of the reasons that it’s not supposed to be that great to take an anti-history stance on politics. Histories, Early Histories—They would refer to ideas like ‘glory’ and ‘honor’ like everyone had exactly the same feeling about them even if they were born hundreds of years apart. History of Intellect—In Zeno’s philosophy, it was said that a system could provide a ‘path of insight’ which could be ‘found within life’. Romans were said to be the original pragmatists and the original slave-holders. Of religious philosophy, it was said that ‘God died in the temple’. The Germans began to be seen as old-fashioned gnomes, self-satisfied in that role. The French were crazy enough to oppose Hegel. History of Science—There are times in history where no one is a scientist. But some of them may be very smart. Douglas Hofstadter: Indeed, they haven't called me since 8:15 am. Golden braid formula as to which calls count. Holocaust—Eugenics is all-too-easily over-abusive. The Holocaust is an example of a eugenics idea which is clearly one of the worst things to happen in history. I think America is only people say more advanced in 2010 than Germany in 1930 because of advances in science and because of Jews who survived Germany, ironically enough. That’s quite a lesson to take note of. Almost by definition, whoever you try to destroy will be the same person who ultimately helps you. Or, you might just guess who’s smart helps you, but that may not always be true as we will soon learn. Humanities, Complexity—1. Language is complex, 2. Slight differences and comparisons are complex, 3. Symbols become complex when combined, 4. Coherence is desired, 5. Sometimes coherence is not desired. Let’s settle this first: “What is this crap coming out of my head?” Don’t tell me it’s crap. I mean, humanity might be crap in a different sense, but that doesn’t mean IDEAS are crap. And in the liberal arts they will say, it doesn’t get simpler than that. Is this Nathan’s Challenge or is Nathan challenged? We should probably not accept both, yet the words ‘challenge’ and ‘challenged’ are very similar. And there are more complex problems in the liberal arts. Do you think it’s humanity coming out of my head? If not, then you might argue I’m inhuman. But you would argue this is a humanities problem right? So, being inhuman isn’t a humanities problem? Then are you saying this statement: “1. Language is complex, 2. Slight differences and comparisons are complex, 3. Symbols become complex when combined, 4. Coherence is desired, 5. Sometimes coherence is not desired.” is 100% crap? Then you might say science cannot be expressed in language. But math is a language, right? Are you just assuming humans are crap? Maybe that is what we were talking about, and maybe not. Humanity --- People think less than they think… They know very little logic… They almost never apply themselves… And they are full of spite. Also, friends are parasites, leaders are worse parasites, the point of life is to be an even worse parasite, and everyone is equal so no one ever wins. Can you believe I'm saying these things to enjoy myself? Well, I am. Not having a good day, pain in my head. —What kernel of insight in terms of people have you discovered through your work? Humanity, Loss of Humanity — Today’s people need to be posthuman to survive. So, it’s kind of a meaningless question. Humans, Fascination with Survival—Though, being humans, we would probably eventually lose interest in the task if it did not either fascinate us or help us with survival. Human Simulacra (artificial media)—It is argued that artificial reality would have to be discovered to take us to the ‘next stage of the cascade’. Maybe that is untrue, but it is appealing that it is true so long as we believe the artificial is significant. Perhaps the best rebuttal is the idea that the artificial means nothing other than specific media which humans created, such as plastic, newspapers, and televisions. These ‘media’ are more convincing than they used to be, but that does not mean they are ‘real’, it just means the human semantics is getting more sophisticated. Humans, Terrifying—If it depends on human EXISTENCE — what humans do, then it might be human-determined. In my opinion there is nothing particularly terrifying about humans except because of our situation, and because of psychology. Some would add the military (ies) is (are) terrifying, and some humans can be pretty crazy or cruel or un-insightful at times. David Hume—Methodological empiricist. Hume’s Guillotine—Also, there is a caveat, that if you believe Hume’s Guillotine, no text is coherent because even philosophers are not allowed to be right following from the principle that no ‘ought’ may follow from an ‘is’ and the notion that coherence is an unavoidably philosophical concept. [See also, ‘Chest of Poisons’]. —Do we need all the elements of coherence for a text to be coherenced? Edmund Husserl—Invented Postmodernism after Nietzsche. Hypocritical Historians—Is it possible for modern historians to properly research and correct the false history pushed to the masses? Sometimes it’s individual, so hard to say. You may actually be objectifying to ask this question. But if you’re objectifying, why aren’t you an objectivist? Now, imagine that everyone is that hypocritical, except without formal assumptions. Is it possible for modern historians to properly research and correct the false history pushed to the masses? Hypothesis Formation: To summarize, abduction makes formalism look bad, yet formalism can never work 100% for abduction. ---What are some inherent limitations of abductive reasoning? I Bajau, The Diving People: Once when I was psychic I think I experienced their diving ability, and found myself somehow missing the pain of real life. See also: Alessandro Alin's answer to Is it possible for people to develop a mutation that can allow them to breathe underwater ? If There Were No Humans Left on Earth—Probably intelligent apes would gradually take over, or perhaps there would be an evolution of an intelligent type of fish like maybe stronger dolphins or brainy lionfish, or mutant whales. Maybe the ocean would become filled with some type of brain-whale colony. The sighing of the brain-whales. Ickiness: Basically, ickiness is a sensation of viruses or moldiness. It might even be unique to our planet. Related to this is humans wanted to feel lucky perhaps related to DNA. Illusions and Physics: Physically, things are headed to No Energy Information Theory (NEIT) which sounds a bit like things not existing. On the other hand, over-unity might be proven around the same time, so now we have theories saying there’s no energy, and reality saying there is energy, which could suggest some kind of illusion theory. Imagination, Problems with: I have heard a neuroscience researcher say that surprisingly a lot of low-IQ people have more imagination than people who are just trying to impress people. A lot of imagination ends up being either people on drugs or people who feel like wasting mental resources all the time. Immortality: Who wants to become immortal is someone robbed of their life, who can never make up for it. In my best years I would love to be immortal, in my worst years death would look wise if it was painless enough. I think humans will evolve immortality, but haven’t yet due to adapting to predators. For the moment, here is a page on seeking immortality: Longevity-Immortality Links (…) The immortal is sometimes called Ideas, however, sometimes it is called Timeless or Perfect. There is no easy known mechanism to immortality. Some guesses are that immortals have used horcruxes to turn into expensive living abstractions. Another guess is that they are elites in virtual reality. Another guess is that they somehow attained a perfect state, like nirvana or perfect balanced virtue. Another guess is that they are simply much older than humans, like ancient monsters anchored in outer space. Another guess is that they are higher-dimensional, and became timeless because their existence is 4- or 5-dimensional, perhaps by taking more than one body or by existing outside their own body like omnipresence. Another guess is that immortals are Buddhas who parasitize a human host, that they have achieved an inhuman state. Some scientists think immortals are more like maggots who might not have much real consciousness, or might live a worse life. Some even think maggots may have magic powers. Some scientists comment that maggots are not magic, they are simply adapted to very harsh conditions like living in cold ground for long periods of time. This may suggest maggots do not have much extra energy to spend on mental performance. Some argue maggots are really aliens who have better technology, or that aliens use something like maggots to conceal some different technology perhaps related to virtual reality. Some also argue immortals are simply people who know how to reincarnate, like historical geniuses, saints, or sometimes ‘human monsters’, prostitutes, or people who suffer too much, like the rumor that ghosts have a kind of cursed immortality because they did not live up to their potential while they were physically alive. Some argue women are immortal, which is sometimes explained simply as the power to reproduce and continue the human race (or some other race), while some argue that women who are beautiful enough become privileged to the point of achieving immortality through love of the gods. Another perspective that would work if there were many secrets to the world is that some alchemists and scientists learned of secrets for achieving immortality, but these secrets are rumored to be evil or somehow too expensive or ‘rare’ to be achieved by most people. It is argued that it is thought to be rare because it doesn’t really exist. Another rumor is that it is very occult, and that some achieve it through some invisible process where they enter a different domain of reality. Some have argued drugs or sex could lead to immortality, based on legends of particular ‘perfect lovers’ and ‘immortality serums’ and so on. Largely these last cases were often considered evil bargains where the immortal might not care any longer about life or death. Some have argued immortality is achievable if it can be determined to be worthless. For example, a god might fall from a higher realm, and if he believed his life on Earth had no meaning or purpose, then he could contribute to this realm, but the higher realm would be lost. Some have argued immortals are vampires or that they are in the habit of killing other gods. And some have argued gods are simply better at magic than the average wizard or witch, or that gods determined some special panacea to cure against mortality. Some have argued immortals are especially healthy, or that they are part animal, part witch, or part god. Some have argued only the eldest gods can be immortals and that this name is often used falsely to refer merely to terrestrial people of great talent or worth. Some have argued gods are more like birds or dragons or specially-colored clouds, or that god is a substance like magic itself, or like pure mind, or pure reasoning. Some have argued god is just an abstraction like life itself, or the dimension called immortality, or the concept of goldenness, perpetual motion, the infinite, or even just distance. Some have argued god is the most desired thing like great wisdom, great professionalism, or orgasms. Some say god is unknown, mysterious, un-guessable, or non-existent. Some have argued god is that which seems overwhelming or extreme, such as pain, money, love, dimensions, or ultimateness. Some also argue god is a child, a poet, an artist, a business man, or a wandering religious person. And some say god is achieved merely through confidence, faith, exertion, guessing, or shrewdness. Though what could this mean except becoming god, except that God would mean immortality, which apparently people have not achieved, as many of the above states are not universal or easy for a human to achieve. Some have argued that the reason God is seen to be hard to achieve is because humans do not achieve it. And some have argued this is why God means an orgasm. Some have attributed magical properties to the orgasm, but some argue this is women being idealistic about what orgasms mean. Some men have been disillusioned with orgasms, or think that there are evil reasons orgasms happen, or that orgasms are really only for women. Men can guess orgasms mean a lot of pleasure, and without experiencing this pleasure in such a degree it is hard to explain why it could be magical. It seems possible women would sell their souls for an orgasm, but if so it doesn’t make a lot of sense that women would sell their souls for God, if God is supposed to mean a soul. Some have argued this means that women would sell the soul they are given by a man to create what is supposed to be a better or at least a little exciting life. From a man’s standpoint, it would not be so exciting, as a man sees at as just a life that someone has or not, rather than an act of personal creation. Then again, not everyone knows how magical creation of that kind might be, but some argue it is a disillusioning process and ultimately usually very painful. Some argue gods are simply those who can do the same things humans are supposed to do, but without feeling that it isn’t worth it. And some argue these are simply lucky people who somehow cheated the real God into creating a lesser life. For this reason, some argue that ordinary philosophers or artists are gods, or perhaps all human life should be cherished as holy, partly because the even better life might not usually be achievable. And some have argued human life is worthless and arguing that suffering does not occur is pointless, and that human life is frustrating and miserable. Some have said happiness is achievable, and some have said that is evil. And some have said suffering is not normal. And some have said normality is not normal either. And some have said greatness is possible. And some have said we should just try our best. And people still ask if we can be god, but perhaps in the beginning it was an exaggerated lie, or an attempt to sound arrogant before the days of television. And some have said knowledge makes people divine but it has not yet been clear how to make it so. Some have argued immortality involves rising from the dead, or that immortality simply links more than one conscious body. In the second case, immortality might simply mean the reincarnated memory of any person who has such memories, since the body degenerates. Immortality Biohack: It’s possible people who fly through airplanes or ideally magic may end up living longer than most 150% [calories] humans, perhaps even twice as long. But to be twice that may require tampering with human chemistry, specifically creating perpetual motion reactions internally. Immortality, and Boredom: There’s no law of boredom. I think it would actually get more intriguing over time. I call this ‘the Clever Intriqui’. Immortality, Usefulness of: The advantage of immortality is not just health, but also more structured time. Immortals, Evidence Against: If there were immortals, you would see everyone everywhere, it would be a very populated place. Immortals, Health Problems: If I die, that’s not money in the bank from my standpoint. Imperfection: Indulging something imperfect is what imperfect means, it is what many people have concluded. Indeterminateness is mostly another word for believing in the possibility of free will, or also the lack of ultimate judgment concerning our actions or the presence of randomness. Individuality: You most likely have rationality or pleasure or you are an American consumer. Any of these ways is like individuality. Individual Vs. Society—Social performance can be competitive and requires being a real expert, although the average social performer is not very intellectually useful. Individual performance can be intellectual, but is frequently unprofessional or does not accept social standards of performance. Infinity—Infinity is a human idea extrapolated from the concept of depth, which is a result of analyzing human visual perception. INFPs—If you treat an INFP well, mysteriously the world is a better place. This is more so true with INFPs than INFJs even though INFJs are a rarer type.. Initiation—See under Trials of Passage. Inner Beauty—Part of me says as far as superficial ambitious people inner beauty and outer beauty are related. A lot of ambitious people know they’d do better with more character because they’d seem more like a human being or even superhuman being, so their beautiful face just translates as a burning feeling a feeling of being plain and faceless. Since their inner world only concerns how to be great, intuitive, or genius or find out how to have the perfect life, there’s nothing especially wrong with their inner world except that it is superficial and selfish. They don’t need ugliness to compensate because it’s clear that ambition and selfishness are not the whole picture. Innovations and Copycat Inventions—A large class of the more basic innovations (that is, more minor inventions) are known to happen for more than one person around the same time. In the future, this may be increasingly the case. However, one should not downplay how much plagiarism might have to do with it. Often times what happens is that the original inventor wants to make the idea free for research out of generosity, and later inventors load on additional agendas like making money. Inspirations for Innovation—Some people are treated like fools but turn out to be very hard-working and ambitious. Some people would be unoriginal, but are exposed to a lot of ideas and become original. Sometimes primitive technologies develop in industrial societies and the radio is developed in a desert. Many strange and unexpected things have happened in the history of innovation. The paperclip came after Mozart, Einstein came before the slinky. As for patenting, that is more difficult. Hardly anyone has a real patent that is worth money. Most are owned by government and corporations, and many others expire. Some suspect the patent system is just a government scam. Instincts—Instincts may have branched with wrestling instincts a long time ago. It explains some things. Intellectual Problems—Not really fair to talk about, a lot of people have problems of one kind or another, the worst thing to do is to create it on purpose, because problems happen naturally already. Intelligence of Blondes—On the subject of what blond men might think about brown hair, to be fair, I have rarely seen a picture of a blonde on a published book unless it was pure doodoo, that’s my honest opinion. Stereotypes can be big illusions at times. Internet Lingo—There is an element of media using it and encouraging it but it may partly be A.I. using a symbol-language rather than humans identifying deeply with it. Internet Research—Over-thinking and over-design can ruin even the best plans for communication. Nonetheless, it seems coherent principles must hold if the goal is to present information objectively. The alternative is more like drugs, which sounds like bad education to the intuitive mind. Introverts—There is a view where high intelligence makes talking easier. Rumor was near Yale by 2000 to 2010 the age of the introvert was over. Too many of them were pretending. Of course, that could mean a herd response to a major introvert. If one person does the work, the pressure is off on the others. Intuitive Approaches to Science—Maybe if it were a platform that made learning easier, it would beat some (scientific) platforms, but not as a purely open-ended mental approach. Inventions and Discoveries—‘Invention’ and ‘discovery’ mean about the same thing. This can be proven by showing that ‘invention’ is necessarily a discovery. Material innovation is only one of six or more categories of ‘invention’. Vulcanizing rubber is not the only type of invention. Sometimes, lightning strikes. And, sometimes lightning stirkes and the inventor has immunity. Inventor, advice—If you want to make a big discovery, and you are an inventor, you should focus on philosophy, perpetual motion, or chemistry, or become an engineer, or use your brain. Inventor-Novelists—An inventor might do better with a bulleted list than they’d do even with philosophy, let alone high literature. Inventors, Gay Accusations—By this point more than half the world seems to be obsessed with my non-existent gay sex life. I had to invent the term masters of hallucination to describe the psychology of my critics. If they understood how poor, miserable, and satisfyingly alone my life has been, they would not make such accusations. IQ—Many intelligent people agree it measures something, although in a kind of unfair way. Perhaps a 140 is a super-wizard and a 142 is a god? Still, the standard may have changed over time in various systems. Some Asians for example, would find U.S. IQ systems beyond easy in the 1920’s and even until the 1980’s or beyond if they were familiar with a few English novels (I mean in the easiest possible sense, though memorizing a good novel might be possible, good novels almost didn’t exist at that time). The prediction is that high IQ people tend to process more categories in the 2nd dimension, or they have less than 2 dimensions to their body, or they think often of specific low decimal values for categories relative to squares or cubes, etc, or they have a better math system, or they may specialize in IQ specifically. Irrational Romantic—There needs to be a meaning of life, therefore some romanticism may be necessary not just empiricism. Empiricism = pragmatism, rationalism = realism. We can’t be complete realists, that is assuming the consequence. We cannot be completely pragmatic unless we are also romantic. JLeno—Their best line right now is like ‘depressed people?’ I mean, depressed people might think that’s funny, but how deep is that? Their next best line is ‘I have a headache’ which is attributed to some obscure stage magician. Jello---If you heat jello mixtures they may become slightly more viscous. “Jello” is very slippery. Rumor is they are made from animal fat, oil, sugar, food coloring, etc. Jen’s Buoyant Flange—Some have suspected since the 1990s that Jen’s Buoyant Flange may be an example of a ‘lucifer motion machine’. Jesus— Would he be God’s brother? Then what happened to God’s brother? Know what I mean? It doesn’t make sense. Maybe he’s saying he’s bootstrap bill, but that’s getting really bizarre. Maybe he’s saying he’s the devil, but the devil would have something to say about how he was doing the right thing. He is trying to make himself equal to all Jews or something. His real story may be he is the devil because Jews suffer. He has a reputation for slack for some reason. My personal belief is the historical Jesus came to power for a brief time because of Orchyrae, a young intellectual who needed a cover story for burning the Library of Alexandria in 0 AD. In recent times, manipulative technologies have been used to control the masses using Jesus’ image and reputation. However, before about 1940 it is very unlikely that any of this propaganda would have had the effect it has today, rather instead people were if anything naturally inclined to morality and pragmatic behavior because of their higher spiritual constitution and influence from genuine people. I believe Jesus was used by the United States Government as an alternative to adopting Naziism. Perhaps it was selected within a game controller simply because it had been shown intellectual Jews could wield great military power, and Jesus was seen as a symbol of Judaism that might translate for other religions. Jesus, as Devil—The only salvation for evil is karmaband, the hope that everything evil comes with something good. Jesus might represent karmaband. This may also be called the ‘Merry Christmas Principle’. Jobs---That's when people stop working, when they learn it's prostitution. Joy — Manic depressive people often feel joy when they’re younger. Mothers may feel joy if they love their baby. So far it looks like joy is an evil bargain. Carl Jung—If you are missing some information on Jung it is that he was an alchemist. Junkies—People think it’s philosophical because when they’re junked they talk to someone philosophical and think they’re having a philosophical conversation. Guess why philosophers are attracted to it? Because they say it is about philosophy. But they don’t even take the drugs! Jurrassic—The quantity of animal life and death might be something we are unfamiliar with. Kant, Immanuel—In a library, I would file it under thinking and cognition. Kant does not really attempt to have real metaphysical (knowledge), rather he attempts to interpret the world through the lens of ethical principia. Moralizer. Karens, Definition—”Karen isn’t an acronym, it’s actually a slang term used for entitled, middle-aged white women who ‘want to see the manager,’ or perceived to discriminate against people... They often have an inverted bob, more commonly known as a ‘Karen haircut.’…” —Edward Bertram Whitlock's answer to What does the acronym Karen stand for? Patrick Kelly — Snazzy looking videos, but I have heard if you consult an electrician then you have to conclude he doesn’t know anything. Saul Kripke — Had a reputation before 2000, but not as much of one. It might have been relative. Knowledge Mapping — The type that caught on was possibly just a way of ranking popularity of keywords, and turning them into a network diagram in which popular keywords are proportionally larger and related keywords are connected. The conventional method was supposed to be valuable for ontology, but there was no real consistent reason for that conclusion. Henrietta Lacks -- God told her she was 100% mortal. She said she could capitalize on that. Laminated — ‘Laminated’ or ‘laminated between layers of reality’ is a philosophical way of saying that one might be a naturalist, although it seems artificial. It is a flavor familiar to some philosophy, of being almost theological, but at the same time making use of paranoid naturalism in an embellished way. Language and Rationality-- Unless we can fully rationalize language, what is required is an ‘additional perspective’. Philosophy, for example. Although another expression is for example, human relationships, or a consumer mentality. Though perhaps none of these produces everything that can be understood, each provides a metaphorical scaffolding to make understanding easier. Lao Tze—Symbol of the gods. Las Vegas—Not always considered a special place. Laws of Physics—The only problem that could happen with laws is if the laws are incorrect / not universal. This is one of the reasons I study universalism, because it’s important. Leaving the System—The news on this is we don’t leave the system anymore because we’re not feral children. Feral children stopped living long enough to reproduce around the time they died out in the 1800s. They are scientifically considered extinct. No one knows how to survive on their own anymore, it’s not reproductively worth it. Aborigines are not feral: they are a more advanced society, quite smart people that have techniques to survive in the harsh environment of Australia. Some even argue they are a higher species than humanity. Cats and dogs and horses and pigeons and city seagulls and herd animals are also not considered feral anymore, because they rely on organized society to provide food for them. Leibniz—Expounded too much on exponents. Vladimir Lenin---Academics say his approach was too violent, but he was about 100 years ahead of his time, maybe more. Leprosy—Devils in pain. Lesser Genius--Trouble was, great genius was distinguished from mere practicality in various ways. Thus, two words is not necessarily wrong. Liberal Democracy—It's beyond question, but its not everyone. In urban areas at least, people definitely want their right to be helped by the feds, they want a working bank system, and they don't want too much conflict with the police. To me that sounds like an un-ambiguous social good. Lichtenberg---Surprisingly modern. Many people with high IQ get forgotten within 50 years. If you think they’re all like Lichtenberg you’re very wrong. Rosa Lichtenstein---Very good at being wrong. Linear Storyline---Consider, though, where would we be without SCALE, DIMENSIONS, MATHEMATICS, FEELINGS, BRAINS IDEAS…. MODES, FUNCTIONS, MECHANISMS, MOVEMENTS? Linguistic Systems---There was a little known movement of linguists in the Medieval era called the Etymologists. However, language systems may have been slowed by the fact that they were developing independently, and the concept of universal language was not much written about until Leibniz and post-John Venn. Coppedge’s initial theory of Unified Linguistics using math dates to 2021. Liposuction---Doesn't have to be cool, because it doesn't have to be necessary. Literature---Literature is cruel, unless you can take advantage of it. Literature, before the 20th Century--- have a keen memory of a life as a noble in which I had a gift for languages and realized most books were scatological garbage. Chemical stimulation is partly what makes it look otherwise today. It might be that quality libraries before 1901 contained some mathematics which is considered obscure today but was thought of as foundational at the time. Still, since the printing press didn’t really succeed until the 1500’s in Europe it is unlikely that libraries in Europe were older than about 300 years by the time of the 1900’s except for rare and expensive books. I think possibly there was a time in which map-making was considered a higher art than the art of the library. Little Albert Experiment—I don’t approve of this type of experiment, because I believe babies in the past century or so are usually very sensitive, wise, and intelligent, and can interpret behavior as maliciious to their rationality, and by extension, all rationality. Generalization in the experiment though means that when two events coincide, even if it is just an accident, if it happens consistently, the person will associate one event with another. This definition has no universal relevance for the definition of generalism outside of that experiment. Liu Bolin—”Smart camouflage” I said. “That’s the smartest thing I’ve heard for weeks” he said. “Did I bring tears to your eyes?” I said. “Oh, now you’re going deep.” he said. “You want an honest answer? Not really! My darn paint is what kills my eyes.” Locke—Supporter of materialism. Looking Glass Self—People that think mirrors are social are also deluded enough to think a mirror is a digital camera. A world where psychologists are that delusional would be a very frustrating world. Los Angeles. Sham. The only place where single words make such a difference. If you look nearby though you are unlikely to find anything better. It might be the only sham that makes shams look like a sham. Palo Alto is about a universe away. I think they just mean Palo Alto is underclass for California. Most people in Los Angeles either ‘settle down to the craziness or move out’. Lovers of the Arts—You may find that art can be opaque at times. It is not that it is impossible to guess the meaning, but it can require more dint of effort than some would hope. Philosophy is less opaque than art, extremely clear and apparent though some think complex. Reading intelligent paintings may require knowledge of language and esoteric studies that the average philosopher does not have. Nonetheless, studying philosophy is undoubtedly less superficial than really stupid paintings if there are any. Löwenheim Numbers—In reality, perhaps all real logical systems would have a cardinality of zero. So, the whole system seems set up to create false systems which have ‘models’ in other words, potentially arbitrary data which is assumed for some indefinite purpose which waits forever in the future. Serious logicians would not be concerned with such ‘models’, instead they would simply adopt a system of language categories which begins at cardinality zero. It could be argued if there is a cardinality of zero with exponential efficiency, there could be a subsequent cardinality of -2, but if you ask me this is either useless notation or begs for another system. You may as well express sets as modules with various numbers of language categories, which relate either as exclusive sets, linear relationships, hierarchies, or modular relationships, and which may include properties such as having a formula, an organization, a quantity, and an exponent. Sounds a bit like the foundations of Lambda Calculus, not sure. People run into ‘set-in-stone mathematical relationships’ and then they sometimes turn back to math to seek something more flexible. LSD— My personal viewpoint is that LSD abuses people who are not the user and can also result in lower survival rates for the user. The excitement of the drug for those that seek it is that it makes survival less likely. Therefore, those who seek it are using a gamblers fallacy with their existing genes. George Lucas—(After you read this…) You might think George Lucas was a basketweaver who painted by numbers: Who has been the most interesting artist of all time? Lucifer: Brilliant intellectuals. Lucifer isn’t deep, at least not formerly. But he seems really deep. He’s usually someone you think you need. And you may in fact need him, at least when he’s good. The real problem is you may need more than one. And things get worse the more there are. The future comes after Lucifer, but so does evil. The more you buy the future, the more you buy evil. One requires more cures, more medicine, or life gets worse. And as long as there are Lucifers life never really gets better. But they represent knowledge, knowledge in a disguised form, knowledge that likely requires a difficult puzzle to be solved. If you don’t solve the puzzle, there will probably be a devil. What I mean by a devil is the gifted, but they may be both good and evil, like manic depression. Heaven is rarely a place people stay very long. It is not as pleasant and wonderful as you think, it is basically for the purpose of being judged by God, but some angels may live there longer. [I still believe I was God once in a past life as a dumb gnome in Germany. He had some kind of methodology]. For the most part people are not complex enough to need God’s judgment, only if they are very clever. Lucifer Worshipers: In the long term basically wrong, but it gets harder and harder to prove it's wrong. Stupid shit that's exaggerated to sound like science. Luck: There is also the possibility of sending appropriate germs or bacteria to another planet with the hope that such a planet develops an atmosphere which ultimately harbors larger populations of life. But if we’re super lucky and the only shot, then we’re probably exceptionally lucky in the future too. Probably metaphysically it’s a much more eternal planet but humans are just extremely primitive life forms. Lyapunova Elizaveta—If we don’t support immortality research or evolution, that could be problematic. Made Up—Made up really means ‘made up for the moment’. Madmen, Devilish—I think it’s possible that I’m too devilish without the medication, or possibly I just wouldn’t be able to stay rooted with my family that way. Magic—It does not mean stupid magic, and it does not mean powerful magic: it’s a general trend. But that does not mean stupidity would be any more powerful. Relaxation does not help magic very much. Magic Vs. Feeling Upset—You know that feeling where depressed people are like “I think I’m depressed” and they think they’ll feel better? It is the same thing with magic, except they’re not depressed. Magic, Visible—Infinite pain or maggots or very expensive is a good guess for explaining visible magic. Making Money with Computers—Software engineers have created a system where it is very hard to make money anymore doing computer programming. They want people to design apps. Male Emotions—Some guys decide to settle down and be abstract, but some of them become angry. Man, Acts of Man—I think what is meant is cases like if someone attacks someone during a hurricane and blames their mood on the weather, or if there is a tornado and when the tornado is supposedly nearby they rape their son, etc. They are cases where someone acted irresponsibly because of conditions that apply to them, not their environment. It’s an embarrassing point about how unconscious some people are about how different they are from other people, or how wrong their actions were. Mania—Usually involves a lot of drugs, or drugs and more drugs. Not necessarily good. Manipulators—Basically, being manipulative is something to admire about yourself, unless it gets you in trouble. If you are someone who lies to yourself or bends the truth, you may not know how much trouble you’re in. In some cases it is good to keep in mind that the appearance of manipulation can be a liability, for example, if the goal is to defend the legitimacy of a big project or to defend someone’s reputation. The biggest problem with manipulation is probably that it usually makes the manipulative person dishonest and it can therefore generate paranoia for people with high intuition. Marketing Problems—There is a kind of cliche where ‘product’ sounds like d*** and ‘service’ sounds like vag***. Supposedly business people have been dealing with this problem consciously for over a decade to make things not degenerate into slime. Mars—SCENARIO 1: It will allow us to forget about genuine human survival. SCENARIO 2: It will provide more excitement for the prospect of infinite human inventions. Masculinity—True, it might be unbecoming to act like a woman but that doesn’t mean everyone’s supposed to join the military or father 1000 kids. Materialism— Perhaps it is just genes telling us what we’ve been told before, but there is part of the human brain that continues to desire more, bigger, better, etc even if life tells us that we grasp the fundamentals already. The truly advanced intuition, as far as I gather, says that if we act conservatively, FIRST we reach this epiphany about genes and desire, SECONDLY we can decide there IS more, such as truly miraculous fundamental theories, even ONCE we have already known that humans desire more because of their artificial circumstances. It may be possible to appreciate miracles while still largely accepting that they are physical occurrences. It merely requires a little genius. Maybe that is what genius is, making use of matter. Some of that matter is inside our own heads. Some of it is not. Materialism, Arguments—My main point was not relativism or anti-materialism, but… : “It’s a catch-22: matter has no certain definition, or there is something other than matter.” My point was not that there MUST be something else but that if there is not something else, materialism lacks definition. I have no problem though saying that everything is real, and that everything is real qua itself, which means materialism in a way, but it is not what naive people take materialism to be. Math—Someone smart said, “Math is something to apply to TRY to get answers.” Math, Impact on Philosophy—Some of the great things I achieved did touch on math, but usually not 100% it’s more like set theory helped in some extreme cases. Mathematical Proof Theory—Initial criticism: Where do you get ‘function(c) sometimes b’? There is no way to prove a function merely from a set, that I know of. Your proof isn’t presenting how to do that. If ‘e’ means probability that is a big loaded assumption. In philosophy, the foundations of mathematics, there is no way to assume probability. It might be different in every case unless you merely assume that you’re right. I know there is a philosophical ethicist who disagrees, but he was bombarded with the science mentality for 40 years like he was brainwashed before he agreed. What scientists finally agreed on as far as proof theory just sounds like the stuff in logic class that were heard most often. But that still doesn’t mean you can prove ‘is’ from ‘ought’ or ignore the fallacy of induction. People think you can, but you can’t. Not without drugs or something. What people get wrong with the fallacy of induction is you CAN’T use ‘sometimes’. By definition, when you use ‘sometimes’ it is NOT DEDUCTIVE. Probability is always sometimes. If we talk about exclusive lists of sometimes that is like my philosophy, which is not even accepted by philosophers. If you think if you don’t prove it inductively you prove it deductively, that is a false dichotomy my friend. No one should assume it is an inductive proof at all, or, using probability, deductive at all. The problem is, without that mere assumption that it is a deductive proof, which may be falsifiable, the argument is unlikely to work, because it will require groundedness in reality as a pre-condition to the entire argument. Example of a scientific ‘proof’: Induction Iff Accesible Math and Metaphysics—Before about 1790 - 1820 math did not have reality except rationally. Rationality was a prerogative of a few isolated geniuses. By this argument, mathematics is an anthropological aberration. Some would say math was not considered physically real until around 2018, which is just four years ago. In fact, even the debate about whether Nathan Coppedge invented perpetual motion is older than this kind of certainty about math. This is along the lines of Pythagoras was a mystic, and Godel was a madman. Matrix—Not everyone writes about ‘the matrix’ so not everyone thinks it’s analyzable. Low-brow entertainment, as Jen F says. To think everyone forgot about creativity tests is pretty dumb. Nathan thinks it might be about rocket man who forgot his rocket-pack or maybe just something dark and evil. Motleyism might be higher level if the soul is irony is a better translation of what they mean to say. Matrix-wisdom—I would say, humanity can aspire to greatness, but a lot of it depends on wearing clothes, having money, and pursuing philosophy, inventing, art, and poetry. Simply funding the brain alone or a good body is not enough or even necessarily always absolutely necessary, the other things are necessary. There are ways to look like a fool this way, but nonetheless it is one of the imperatives for humanity. A better program can easily win, but it beats billions of worse programs. If you charge someone every time there’s a better program you end up winning looking worse, or the winners end up being grateful they worked with you. Although it might look more productive to innovate with one genius, if you have 100 dunderheads with better resources they can at least get things going without needing to search for a needle in a haystack. It could give a context for understanding. Sometimes the dunderheads also use less drugs, take fewer vacations, have less sex, have fewer kids, are less gay, and are more balanced. Although the dunderheads might be a disaster, the genius might be a disaster too, if you consider how much real absolute resources are involved. Maybe the dunderheads would cause more philosophical problems, but maybe not. That’s the final point of the debate. If dunderheads think of philosophy it might be okay or there’s a lot of problems anyway. Ultimately, if the dunderheads are thinking different, then they might be geniuses. mcgiver / the true genius (perhaps known earlier as ‘godiver’) — Supposedly there was a TV show called the Great Godiver about a genius inventor who solved problems constantly. However, I guess they learned that ‘godiver’ usually means ‘Lady Godiva’ which is frustrating. I guess it was a weird quantum phenomenon, or someone lied to me about this show. Medical Breakthroughs—Things like kidney transplants and stuff. I don’t take a lot of interest in it because it always seems to require a hefty medical education. Medical Profiling—Society basically killed or didn’t reproduce with all the truly weird looking people by the 1970’s and 1980’s. That is one of the reasons why today if someone has a weird problem it is probably a medical problem, but this was not always the case. Medicine and Epistemology Don’t Mix—Not to mess you up… Formal logic is useless for medicine. True enough to rely on in most cases. (Here I am referring specifically to category theory). The chance that a given logical observation is even relevant to computers is pretty low. Rationality and logic can be very different things. Rationality is involved with the flexibility of logic, and ability to apply it well in difficult cases. Also, epistemology is not just logic, it has a lot to do with questions of what knowledge means, in a laborious booky kind of way. You probably got over this stuff in grade school I’m thinking unless you noticed someone’s big discovery which happens to be logical but really might be something better. ‘medium’ (Website)—Would be okay for writers, but it has scammy terms and for some weird reason forces people to write garbage. It’s not good for your brain. Quentin Meillassoux—One really good idea, which he badly misinterpreted. Metacrawler dot com. Don't visit it, you will feel like crap and no longer be able to do string theory or probably calculus or any philosophy since 2010. Metaethical Metahistorical Questions: Is present knowledge an improvement on past knowledge? Hardly the most useful question as knowledge may change from day to day, and metaethical metahistorical questions are not a great way to think of new logic. Metaphilosophy, Journal—What if Metaphilosophy rolls under the carpet? It might be fallacy of authority versus fallacy of ignorance, even if that’s the wrong context, what will they do with it? Pre-theory is post-theory. They want to recover the life not worth living. They are just hopeless coffee-holics. Metaphysical Inventions—Solutions to problems that didn’t exist yet. Metaphysical Unfairness: If it's God who the heck knows what's really going on, maybe the fantasy of a select few. Metaphysics, Why Philosophers Still Believe in It—In philosophy it is not quite as naive as flatland (‘metaphysical differences’), rather the analogy is to perception of lower or higher or the same dimension. It is only if differences of perception create differences in appearance that a multi-dimensional metaphysics would take on with philosophers. However, there is a strong tradition of differences in perception in philosophy. The argument gets stronger if you take drugs, because drugs seem to create their own sort of bubble of reality depending on what kind of drug it is. Not all drugs are strong, so there are not always strong differences in reality. Many philosophers have at least considered George Berkeley’s position, where mental events influence reality. However, a view favoring materialism seems to have largely replaced it. This is because we ‘cannot know the demon’ (of our own passions). As long as we’re left alone, and if we let the demon in, we become blinded, until we want to be reborn. Metaverse Theory—It’s a case of the fallacy of ignorance, because by the time you know anything about it you’ve already had it beaten into you that people believe in it. ‘Dimensions’ in the sense of ‘dimensional worlds’ is not a conjecture fully supported yet by science. We have not proven that ‘worlds’ in the sense of the Earth are ever more than three dimensions. Rather, it is more likely that all dimensions simultaneously co-exist. This is the appeal of time-travel, that it is a multi-dimensional power that is compatible with our world. There is also the metaphysical conjecture that simply being able to ‘see’ these worlds does not make them ‘real’. It is within possibility with known information that the worlds may in fact be virtual and thus, these types of fake 4-dimensional existence may not actually grant immortality potentially due to dependence on some kind of hidden trans-dimensional, perhaps virtual or simulated interface. Microchips: Don’t microchips malfunction or require energy from the brain? Is the technology really ‘there’ for thinking with a microchip? It seems to me Musk was practicing on pigs just a few months ago. Are you suggesting every living person become part of some kind of risky psychological experiment? Wouldn’t there be mental risks to tampering with the brain? What if someone wanted the chip removed? Wouldn’t this cause trauma? And, isn’t it possible that brain function would be interrupted? Mightiness—It’s a fallacy to say the soul travels with the speed of thoughts. It may not. An alien might assume you can accomplish infinite things, build a perfect library and so on. Not everyone can do that. Very few have ever done that. Military, role in creating criminals— Most people live in urban environments. If you try fight-or-flight stuff in an urban environment you will very likely be labeled a criminal. Millennial Education—It’s sort of like facebook, but it’s an adaptation to the current environment. They are expected to adapt, but not to learn basically except when it comes to schoolwork where it’s the opposite. Millionaires—Someone said, there is a justice to millionaires, but it’s not an ordinary justice. Mind, in Philosophy of Science—there is no way where addressing an ‘apparatus’ will lead to the ultimate questions if we do not initially say we are leading to the ultimate questions. Instead, we are left with ‘whatever we think’ plus ‘whatever they said’. The ‘whatever they said’ doesn’t matter a whole lot in philosophy unless you already assume they are asking and answering what ‘the ultimate questions are’. In fact at that point, the vocabulary ‘epiphenomenal’ is not even very helpful. It could be scientifically useful but philosophically that is not saying a whole lot. It may be phenomenologically we should be realists and what is left of the memory of truth will involve scientific models and apparatuses, but this does not deny that at this moment, if we find philosophical truth in a thing, it will involve something coming directly from what a thing actually is, in the sense of ultimate truth, not merely a surface description. As one philosophy professor lamented: I’m afraid all [physics] provides is surface descriptions, nothing more. If you cannot do better than that, there is no point in trying. Mindfulness—Mindfulness was supposed to be an ordinary word, but they played it like it wasn’t. It was a big sin. Mind Games—The philosopher is at least right that the popular view of creativity is not what he means. Miracles in the Sky—I think such may be possible. But my conclusion so far is that I would pity the dragons that would appear. Imagine, ancient dragons whose heart and soul might be a million years old, slaved to some hiccompocus say in Northern America. It would not be a good career move for a dragon probably, and at that point it just sounds lucky. —If I told you I can make wonders and strange phenomena appear in the skies, would you believe me? Do you want me to do it? Missing Link—Missing link frequently refers to the joke idea about how someone who knew how to survive in a crude environment was a ‘human landbridge’ to someone with a developed forebrain. In that sense, it’s not a very important concept. Just because someone served as a genetic vehicle doesn’t mean their genes are super-important today, except in those who still happen to carry their genes. The genes could have been better or worse, but managed for the time, unless of course the theory is false, and it happens that so-and-so’s similar genetic forebears died off, whereas others slightly different lived on. Since the differences in genes are not always very large, it makes more sense to study those that survived, rather than those that died, unless you can find a community that is supposedly doing much better today than another. Genetic link does not mean a whole lot, except for heritage and the uniqeness of surviving genes or genes that should have survived, because of the fact that some ancient genes might not be fully adapted to the modern world. Maybe in rare cases they would do better, but that is unlikely because of the subtleties of the intervening time. More likely than being super-adapters they would be strangely inept in glaring ways compared to the people that can be traced all the way to modern times. Another factor is you cannot assume they’re geniuses at all, but moderns don’t know what that means. A lot of adaptation may have been tolerating pain and other abilities that may not be absolutely important compared to how it used to be. Or, in some cases there may be more adaptation now but without some of the nuances that were gradually weeded out, humans thinking it expressed too much personality or too much insistence on self-importance. Models—The formula Results = Efficiency + Difference helps define how to understand objects, but it does not give their scale or coordinates or not very easily. Remember in real life, coordinates would require an actual contantly-updated location in outer space, which cannot be found objectively without having instantly-updated data on the whole universe. This is why most data consists of ‘models’. Moderate Introverts—I don’t know how much people change, it seems to me if someone flips back and forth then introvert / extrovert is not the way to judge that particular person. Sometimes, though, this may mean people who are judged that way are lacking in a special flexibility quality which can sometimes mean higher intelligence. Modern Fiction Writing—They basically believe in stuff that sounds like college. Modernism---Psychotic, inhospitable, and abstract. Modern Reality— Cigarettes have partly replaced opium because they are more addictive and cheaper to produce and people still might be able to operate a motor vehicle. Money Advice—When you have money, ignore advice and don’t spend it. Then, keep doing that. Moore’s Law Illusion—Progress every 20 years has actually occurred since at least about 1760 or so, it’s simply that we don’t count the earlier equipment as technology: incremental improvements in the printing press and printing blocks, etc… The idea that similar things always do exactly the same thing is a modern idea, created by the fantasy that things always become, ‘new, better, and different’. In fact this mentality that difference involves improvement rather than improvement involving difference is a phenomenon of our specific time in history. Monster Solutions—What big solutions have to watch out for is basically nothing except paradigm replacement. Moralists—It was this long drawn-out thing, like you’re proud of your son, but then your son goes out and kills someone when he joins the army, then it’s like you regret your pride, and it’s like it’s a long drawn-out thing, and you’re supposed to understand the Lord. It doesn’t mix with pure mind and coffee. Their son was probably a good person who joined the army. Who is to blame? Morals—Where people often get it wrong is they think if morals are not tricky, then they never get punished, which is not true. Morals are precisely the thing that punishes you without tricking you. Morals and Principles—It’s not so much that morals and principles change, as people may discover new things about them… about once every 1000 years. Motivation--You can measure it by meanness, or eccentricity, or social acceptance, or psychological masturbation. MTG—Unlucky people are like, 7 hit points. 7 Hit points, do you know what I mean? Whatever. Multidisciplinary Studies—In theory with a specialty you might not have to know every branch of science. Some simple things from major branches could be very irrelevant depending on what you are interested in, though if you study something complex it is more likely that multidisciplinary approaches will be appropriate. And in many cases multidisciplinary approaches may not be used enough already for lack of an ability or willingness to apply it (or in other words, various combinations of disciplines). The shortcut for a philosopher is tedious: to study everything from the metaphysical vantage point of summarizing absolutely everything in as simple and advantageous a manner as possible, and then hoping it passes as science. For a scientist the multidisciplinary may only be important on off-hours or as a last-minute intervention. Multiverse—The smart angle is, other universes are possible analogously to categories of physical events. If one can categorize the world, which is not a very popular position now, then one may distinguish different ‘universes’ of functions, entities, or conditions like weather and so on. If everything were the same and un-categorized, why would it ever seem like a different universe? Music—It’s like there’s some rule that music is either dead or too loud. I hate loud music. The only authentic moment in music was probably when Mozart killed somebody. Music Criticism—My ears might stick out around 1 inch each, imagine if you’re a chimp or an elephant, music would be beyond intolerable. It’s torture for most humans, let alone animals. Music, Philosophy of Music—So far as I can figure out, most philosophers give up on music either because they’re not smart enough, or because they don’t want their eye lacerated by a violin string. Musicians-- Professional musicians in places of high culture, first stage of culture. Elon musk—Get me right, I don’t support everything Elon musk does but I wonder what we will do without him if there is not more focus on revolutionary ideas. My sense is the future with Musk has the unethical end handled but not necessarily the ethical end. Mars makes me think otherwise, but I still think society could stand to be more idealistic than Musk. Musk is painfully idealistic, but I think we could do without painful idealism. I think we could have satiating idealism. Musk, IQ—As an inventor, he’s now barely ahead of Emily Dickinson unless I read her poetry more or if I absorb a lot of Musk’s twitter feed and possibly exaggerate it a bit. Notice I’d have to use a similar strategy to enhance either of their standings, which suggests they are at a similar level of performance. Musk, legacy—If you analyze it, they think Musk has bigger fish to fry because they think he’s a successful old person. Mutual Agreement—Seemingly-having-ness. Myers-Briggs—I have transitioned from INFP to INFJ, resulting in some more depressed feelings, making me feel that the system is fair and balanced. Myopic Error— I have noticed since about 2011 - 2018 it seems like people see more 2-dimensionally than before, as opposed to 3-d. Possibly it’s a result of physicists arguing that we live on the surface of a black hole. Mythical Places—If you mean a mythical place, it is important to realize that myths are potentially less real than propaganda, which is potentially less real than philosophy. Myths, True—A lot of the stories were true. For example, Zheng Guo did fly. Aston-I-Shed did summon monsters. Lady Li had a self-weaving loom. But Zheng Guo wasn’t physically immortal, the ‘Three Monsters’ didn’t control history, and it eventually seemed like Lady Li’s loom may be enchanted or might not. That’s what gives the feeling of disillusionment in quantum physics: successful gods or what looks similar to that to humans. Naïve—If you think God didn’t solve some problems, naïve can look really attractive. Naïve Realism is the primary example of naïve logic, related to mathematical concepts concerning assuming absolutely nothing, in other words, pure semantics or pure set theory in which the logical constraint is we cannot normally conclude anything. The meaning is similar to ‘open’ or ‘hollow’ or ‘clean’. Narcotics—My productivity has increased a lot since 2015 now that I’m on Quora, but now that I am on chai tea I’m basically stuck with my habit for the rest of my life unless some type of disaster gets in my way. Nash, John—Up to Leonardo Da Vinci, perhaps beyond, most geniuses can be summarized in a few words, and it immediately at least means accomplishments in the arts, or some big idea. But with Nash it does not sound that way, it sounds like the opposite. Maybe the movie was poorly acted, and Nash’s legacy is unreadable otherwise. Possibly the actor hated Nash. Part of it I think was the ethics against psychopaths. People with emotional disturbances tend to be romantics not sadists but this never makes it into the movies. Natural Breasts—They don’t have knowledge, or they are surrounded by a lot of animals, or they are philosophers, or they are beneath the elements, or they are above philosophy. [They are in school, or they are in trouble, or they are the smartest or stupidest person, or there is good or bad weather, or they are a goddess or a scientist]. Natural Order—They study the individual discipline until they see a pattern. It’s rather complex, what do you expect? Natural Sciences—Beaver dams and beehives are amongst the most sophisticated. Also, heating things into lava, and separation of the stars. And supposedly genetics, the carbon and oxygen cycles, and photosynthesis. I think a lot of people get a creepy feeling that things worked differently as recently as 1905. Nature---The first two corners might be abstraction and sensation (corresponding with macroscopic and measurable) with no definite order, but the third corner has an order, and represents unresolvability, difficulty, or disorder, and virtual coherence. ‘Nature company’—“The nature company” had significant investment and didn’t just focus on diagrams. They had locations with brilliant sound effects, like full spectrum of nature. Yet they closed down. Nature Vs. Nurture — See at least under Materialism in this writing. Nausea—Seeing objects stand still as you walk past them may be objective consciousness. The feeling of motion may just be from nausea and confusion. Nazis—You could end up with a choice between an athletic star commander who’s gay, and an un-athletic ugly guy who’s straight and has bad ideas. This is one of the reasons the Nazis perished. It was like the ugly guy was Jewish if he joined the army, but if he didn’t join the army he was still Jewish but he was more of a genius who moved to America. That’s still simplistic thinking guiding us about these issues, but seeing that life can be unfair sometimes can shed light on the problems militaries have. Sometimes being sentimental makes for good soldiers, and being a psychopath makes for good poets. Life is unpredictable. But as soon as you see it one way, the scene changes. It’s very hard or borderline impossible to judge things fairly. Getting things right is what can lead to the death of a nation, unless you aim for a Utopia, in which case getting things wrong does the same thing. Of course, if you understand that it’s no longer completely correct but still applies to the Nazis. The more serious you are, the graver your illness becomes, people lament, to make things sound simpler. Neural Implants---On Musk’s Implants: Most hospitals in the U.S. are expensive so they do not have as many ethical issues as they would otherwise, but in foreign countries I wonder what horrors cybernetics would do. Neurons—I think I have heard [a neuron has] a lot of depth and a few modes. And the modes can be seen several ways. The overall pattern is complex, but the individual neurons are finite, though not completely simple at all, unless you’re very advanced. New Age—[New Age] is not really philosophy, nor is it really a genuine religious movement. It’s more like pop-Psychology plus a few references to occultism. Some have called it a stealth religion. I’m not sure I would give it that much credit. In my view, the real New Agers who might have magic powers don’t own buildings, they’re more like drug addicts or poets. New Haven— Anywhere outside New Haven there’s life experience. Isaac Newton—Makes a bargain at every threshold. Newton, Homosexual?—If you analyze psychology, people who are famous in a gay-seeming time, tend to be people who are secretly straight, not secretly gay. Rule of hell. Neuroscience, Risks—(Writing 2022). Not enough information is available because neuroscientists aren’t taking conceptual risks. This was prudent about 12 - 14 years ago, but now the option is either uber-advanced research, and / or conceptual risks or riskier experiments. I personally don’t like the idea of risky experiments, so I would put conceptual risks high on my list of priorities if I were a neuroscientist. Friedrich Nietzsche—A successful footnote to Plato. By the time I took a class (Phi 408) that actually included works by Nietzsche, I once again attempted to drill to the source which he concealed, only to find to my disappointment that there were some works of his which were probably immune to deeper critique and some of them I likely would not read for years. The keenest point of emotion was the idea I discovered with his early novel Birth of Tragedy that my intelligence might not grasp every concept he could capture in individual words, let alone associations or connected trends of ideas. In fact, to my embarrassment, the professor teaching the course pointed this out in his office or I would not have realized it at all. Night watchmen— With the creation of ‘night watchmen’ around the 1500’s, language became more simplified, and everyone became kind of dumb for awhile. Nihilism and Aburdism, combination—They discover they’re not genuine. I’m serious. Otherwise, they may become evil pragmatists or unconscious moralizers. Nihilistic is usually moral nihilism or existential nihilism, or metaphysical nihilism. Moral nihilists believe there is no real reason to believe per se in ethical rules (they may not always have justifications for this, but sometimes they may, for example, Hume’s Guillotine). Existential nihlists believe that life has no inherent purpose, and all meaning is arbitrary (this is a bit like Sartre). Metaphysical nihilists believe that literally nothing exists, and the universe we see is yet more nothing. Nihilists, Contemporary — Insincere, or not worth reading. So, not worth reading. Nirvana—As far as I can guess, an evil choice after much pain. Nirvana-States---Nirvana-like states can fill space. Nomoli Figures—A ouija board has much less bad luck attached to it. But ouija boards are bad luck, so judging by this you should never own them. God says ‘coherent evil’. Another thing to know: first they’re addictive, then they’re kind of not. And they’re tricky and try to cheat you. And they’re alive. And they belong in Africa. Non-Discrete Perception—Simply put, organic organisms never seem to live that long so far, so we haven’t developed perceptions at that level. Non-University Affiliated Research—It was found such people rarely have the organizational skills to conduct legit research. Normality—The quantum answer I guess is things are never as they appear. An astronaut thinks being an astronaut is normal, while normal people think they are like amazing astronauts to do ordinary things. Whatever is amazing to us is very likely something we don’t understand or something other people think is weird. Novels and the Occult—Essentially: Fiction writers aim at communicating: Personality, Surprise, Disconnected tracts of time. None of those things helps with understanding the occult. Novels, Painful---It began to happen around the time of Ivanhoe, but there were not many examples before that. NPR—Though I basically love NPR (I mostly only hear it in my stepfather’s car now because my radio is so bad), the one thing that bothers me is that they really believe in humanity, and I guess the promise that everyone is potentially having fun. I think that is not the reality, but it is something some people believe in. So that bugs me, that they assume idealism of a certain type even though they know it’s wrong / incorrect. And it’s weird that NPR would have me complaining about idealism, because I consider myself the most extreme idealist, and that suggests that NPR is actually way more elitist than I normally assume. But sometimes I think it’s only drug addicts who convince me NPR is elitist. From a stupid angle I’m right: it’s just a radio program. But from an analytic angle it’s like they’re trying to be more important than the military industrial complex. Nurses as intellectuals — Nurses tend to be people who don’t prioritize ideas first, or who are in my view excessively about people not ideas… The second disillusionment [is] that they rarely develop a legacy because they spend time doing what many other people clearly do. Nursing is a very bad interpretation of originality. “nutcracker ballet”—A classic example of quantum chaos. People develop the motivation to follow the leader, when he isn’t a leader or a motivator. Objectification—Valuing the human body when otherwise you wouldn’t. Objective—Defined as universal. Such systems will usually not tell one how one is supposed to feel, which is one shortcoming. One could be a Monist or Kantian while feeling constantly itchy, as well as in other cases without ever feeling uncomfortable. Objective Morality—I could think I have problematic things to think about logically without being an objective moralist. This last point is one of the reasons I might not be an objective moralist. Objective Systems—There is a perspective from which objective systems are completely private and not intended for public consumption. But from another angle they are methods which attempt to find truth. If mathematics or logic are shared apparatuses between a lot of people, in theory they can become useful and / or popular. Obscure Intellectuals—There’s something about tempting equals suspicious that seems very wrong. Ockham’s Razor—My primary treatment is to translate or expand Ockham to include philosophical razors designed to provide standards for how to do philosophy: Book of Razors . One perspective perhaps related to this is that Ockham can also have a ‘higher translation’ in terms of logical or mechanical (etc.) efficiency. We can then use the principle of efficiency ingeniously to arrive at exponential efficiency. Exponential efficiency can then be used as a platform concept for masterful fulfillment of the logical and mechanical criteria. This leads to the general concepts of preferred knowledge and continuous motion machines, which equal objective knowledge and perpetual motion. Octonions—Around 2000 rumor was octonions were inaccessible and very hard to understand at all, let alone put to practical use. Quaternions (?) require very special moves, Sexturnions (?) would frequently allow only one move, and Octonions (?) would rarely allow any move. Maybe this not allowing a move thing is what makes octonions special, because a coincidence between parts of math could lead to new profound structures of mathematics. Oil Rig Work—Even working as an ordinary sailor is pretty dangerous, but oil rig work is a nightmare every day. Older Adults--- You're doing well to ask this question, but relatively speaking those over 45 are less flexible. It is likely you had an agile mind when you were 29 or pethaps you are going to be a centenarian. Older People, Abilities—The one area where older people clearly have a blindspot about, other than possibly immortality, is their abilities in creating digital media. Older People, Usefulness—Maybe they’re members of the greatest generation or something like that, but as far as I know that doesn’t mean they live forever or necessarily remain productive in their last 20 years of life. O-Mee-Ga God—A literal other-planet alien might be a metaphysical human parasite. Omnipresence—A human would have issues if they possessed a frozen squirrel, let alone if they had two bodies both experiencing an average winter on Earth or any more extreme cold. Omniscience—Possibly the purpose of omniscience is emotion. Omniscience, with Language—Possible? Possibly yes, because words are less complicated than matter. Omniscience, Logical—I- can think of two plausible types, Summative and Relative. Summative would have mastery of one area that would require qualification to assail. This type would fail if not sufficiently complete or relevant. It might try to be over-general or over-specific. The Relative type, such as a knowledgeable philosophical A.I. or Jesus figure would simply have such comprehensiveness as to be temporarily uncondemnable to a certain vantage point. For example, sophistication that is sufficiently extreme. This would be defeated by simply thinking of something else. It might attempt to use brainwashing to convince others its perspective was complete. Online Revenue Streams—In a day of having 100 books published I can make the same amount I might make in three months with a really good blog. In other words, one dollar. Online Trading—If you’re doing trading, get out, get out fast. I don’t do trading because I’m poor. Make sense? Makes a lot of sense. The old system serves the old people. The new system will be some made up thing. Ontology / Tautology (Traditions)—The follower who rejects the arbitrariness of the ‘master meme’ loses their mind. the person who accepts the arbitrariness becomes emotionally dead, a hollow part of the ‘religious ontology / tautology’. Organic Technology—As far as computer design, ergonomic interface is the common term, they cannot really call it alien technology because it’s not really stolen from aliens. Orientalism, Edward Said— I would say 1978 is a surprisingly late date for a book of that type. There were genuine orientalists as early as 1913 and before, and genuine orientalism very likely has more important things to say than a book on ‘English orientalism’. It is usually said that Chinese language is inextricable from Chinese culture, and this theme runs deeper than any casual, unilingual ‘orientalist’ would ever guess. It is really impossible to know Chinese culture without knowing the language, however, learning the language is a much bigger and more challenging adventure (disputed term) than many Westerners would guess. In fact, the practical dangers of trying to live in China may easily outweigh the logic of learning about the culture meaningfully. Why wouldn’t Americans bother to learn about Europe first? That’s the place where the book weighs in, is that Americans have doubts about their own culture. However, the message does not communicate very well, which must be one of the book’s lessons. Outside the Box Group—Basically, they attack what looks good, and what looks good becomes bad, but it is only because it gets attacked. Overdose—If one is no longer an organism. Pangloss—maybe I live on the bliss-cloud of being a male virgin philosopher who gets free handouts from the U.S. Government, nonetheless I suspect some of what others get is things that they themselves prefer, even if for very difficult reasons. Past Lives— Probably, after all, people are often motivated to do so through much of their lives. If they are not motivated at the end, it is probably because they’re tired and do not want to reveal what they’re doing, so it doesn’t get messed up. At the beginning, they’re trying to understand their current life and how to strategize and take the most advantage of it. Patent Holders—As far as patent holders, they’re all rich, or used to be rich, but as far as original inventors they’re mostly poor or greedy or altruistic or working for hire. People, Historical—There is no sense of confidence before about 1800, just people expecting to die, and people doing what they think they need to do imperatively. There are also more people with deformities who were not weeded out, and people who look odd, and people whose oddness is accepted and not questioned. And people you would think have a mental disease that function like other people around them. Percentile IQ Ratings—I had the same problem at the end of high school: I thought 95th or 98th percentile meant I was the dumbest of the dumb. I don’t know why they measure it that way. It wasn’t until I was 38 or so that I realized it could mean something different: I had become an artist with 6 million views to his art gallery who wrote about some topics no one else knew about, when I put my mind to it I learned to read Japanese Kanji as English in about 4 seconds without a lot of studying, this could make me smart. Please see: IQ Percentile and Rarity Chart. Perfect Representations—For now: gay lost ancient plagiarism is a lot of it. Nathan Coppedge and used books may hold a key to much of the rest of it. Permanent Time-Travel—I think so, but I don’t know so. I suppose it is another case that depends on the person, the technology, and the magic. Perpetual Motion—I think people are actually getting smarter overall. You can see it in Millennials and Asians. I have seen a number of competitors for Hyper-Cubism come up that I never expected. The surprising thing is perpetual motion is a category that other people have not progressed very much. Perpetual Motion Conspiracy—The ideal market would look like luxury products or a massive buy-in into the steel industry. That isn’t happening. There would be public projects in the works if perpetual motion was commonplace. Another possibility is if governments are especially afraid that Nathan Coppedge takes credit for the machines, thinking Nathan would make bad genetic material. But why care about Nathan’s genetic material? It could hardly make a difference in the larger scheme of things. If the threat is Nathan’s genetic material, then someone thinks perpetual motion shouldn’t be popular, which means that it certainly isn’t right now, which would suggest that very few are working on it. So, in short, probably either the machines don’t work, or the U.S. is run by China, or hardly anyone is working on it. But that isn’t to say no one SHOULD. Nathan knows that it is very likely they do work. If the inventions were popular, that would change the whole picture. —Every conspiracy theory has the same weakness, no insider testimony (otherwise it wouldn’t be a theory). For the sake of theorist throughout the world, is it possible to keep absolute secrecy in a massive conspiracy? Perpetual Motion Markets— I know there is a pressing practical need, I design the cleverest things, then people end up hating them, or it’s just a bit too difficult to convince anyone. If I’m good I don’t have a market, if I have a market, I’m definitely not good. Only special idols seem to make it to the top. PhDs—A PhD is a great formula to be academically dishonest half the time. Some real geniuses aim to be more advanced than a PhD, or hold multiple PhDs (this was mostly a long time ago, or in very rare cases). I think it was found they always become too evil or die. Pink— A female dick. A way to gain power over people. Philosophers, are they gay black men and white women wonder? — It’s not all about men, except that they enjoy debating topics with men. It is an evolved friendly form of debate which is seen as more evolved than warfare though potentially something of a luxury which can disappear in bad times. Maybe they didn’t fall in love or maybe they did fall in love with a woman, however, things are not always perfect with women just like things are not always perfect in debate or more like hearing oneself talk. Philosopher’s and Money—it is notoriously difficult for philosophers to make real money. You might say on the contrary, they have a pretty easy time getting handouts. I’m not sure if that’s true in the worst cases. Philosophers and Psychologists—Philosophers’ lives are full of unexpected compliments, psychologists’ lives are full of unintended insults. Philosophical Errors—Some scholars who have made claims about things like God and the spirituality of drugs have made some logical errors in the past. Philosophical Parasite—Philosophers don’t have health and wellness wrapped up and that could explain some of their complexity. Philosophy --- I make the stipulation I love systems. See, it's like amusement is an above-average perspective on philosophy. Philosophical Definitions Philosophy Degree —If you like metaphysical systems or existential phenomenology or ethics like one of those dominates your life then maybe a degree in philosophy would be worth pursuing under certain assumptions, but not if you’re going to end up with loans you can’t repay or constant problems with paying for bus fares or god forbid taxis or plane flights. Philosophy of History ---The study of history is the philosophy of history, unless you mean the history of philosophy. Philosophy Jobs—I am hoping I don’t have to work on a dump truck because last time I tried it I cut up my hands. Philosophy, whether Rational or Not— If you think the Greek gods run it, then supposedly it’s always rational. But it’s hard to tell what kind of great compromise that might entail. And it’s only supposedly. Photons---I think photons are formed as virtual particles colliding with electrons. Photons are sometimes called ‘poor particles'. Photo-Realistic Games—There were a handful of photo-perfect games in 2000 which were 3-d functional, but they were later conscientiously rejected as being too realistic. Supposedly this was a permanent decision based on the idea that such games would cause too much depersonalization with reality. Pickle of Intelligence—But maybe Nathan’s level of engagement with myriads of topics makes it easier to respond to Nathan’s material than to make progress with something like C++. That makes it look somewhat different than someone would assume it looks on the surface. Alvin Plantinga—Plantinga is the world’s greatest genius in free will, but I have not read a lot of his work. My assumption, *which may be incorrect* is that his argument on free will was his greatest work. Plato—A philosophy of life. The goal with Platonism is really do re-do the whole thing, rather than contributing to it. Pocket Universes, Empirical Claim to—If the universe looped, there would be no such thing as knowledge or intelligence. A time-traveler is NOT a universe, in spite of all the talk about the still very fantastic and fictionalized pocket universes. The exception is if humans are external perspectives who are subject to some kind of heightened ethical judgment, like if stars are really our headache and we can populate planets by poking at peanut butter. Polemical Artist—That art is being lost. One of the last opportunities is to make a big splash from within the system. Political Elite-- There are times when it seems high wealth attracts those with low consciousness, because they are sometimes people who are very good at putting things off and even writing checks to make ‘problems go away' and even sometimes using force or intimidation, or giving others tough options. This is where the word politician comes from, its meaning is originally similar to a Greek or Roman gangster, but then around WWII it started to be seen more as diplomat or master spy or Emperor. Politicians—Maybe progressive but not expensive, or maybe trusting others’ judgement. On the other hand, I think you will find those who are politicians today are still politicians. Polya, “How to Solve It”—It seems to me those who understand that book realize it’s a method for being complicated. That’s why it’s from 1945. Really anyone who really knows Chinese is more advanced with less pain. If you can read Chinese that book might look like over-simplifying and over-traumatizing. Martin Popplewell—It doesn’t seem like a good bargain. He may be drifting on the crest of obsolete science. I am mostly convinced that he may have hallucinations of atom bombs exploding which would not be a good sign. Populist---Often ignores pessimism, realism, idealism, and developed arguments. Going with the crowd. Posthumanism—Some fringe people are posthuman but still basically human. The most extreme effects might be life extension or new big ideas, or more superficially having robotic limbs. There are also some people with rare genetic conditions that sometimes have supposed advantages like not feeling pain (stabbing oneself all the time to show off) or being able to survive being hit with a car (very heavy bones) or orgasming at will. Some of the extreme effects are from microchips or having super-smart parents or from needing to adapt even in a modern environment. Postmodernism—Postmodernism is a philosophy where members believe history no longer exists and everything should be subject to interpretations. If you really look at it postmodernism is kind of like academics talking about recycling, except without moral nerves. Practical Sense—Also called The Intuitive Practical Sense. I define it as the use of principles to understand a technology or situation. In a baser sense it can mean determining what life’s functions are. President Reagan—I have heard some liberals defend Ronald Reagan more so than they would Trump. I don’t know myself whether his policies were ever successful, but some people look back on it as a better time than the 2020s considering the states of both parties. Presidents, Worst—I think Van Buren used to be considered the worst ever. —Mark Bellamy's answer to Is Ronald Reagan the worst U.S President of all time? Pretend Knowledge—And if I search the average Quora profile you think I’ll find ‘knowledge’? Probably at least half of them have ‘intelligence’. Virtually none of them have knowledge. Priest Class—In modern times cultural insults like dizney land, mcdonald’s, and big corporations have made the priest class look more marginalized, though they still hold some of the significant older secrets to society like perhaps not going insane, being lucky, or marrying well. Primary Sources—In Academia, ‘primary sources’ only has one authentic meaning, which is sources from the original author. For example, main bodies of work that are not interpreted from another source. This tends to mean the author is reputed to be a genius or qualified to have knowledge on the topic, or that the assessment of the quality of an authority doesn’t matter for the project concerning such work. One cannot assume a source is authoritative or not, rather the wisdom an author has is never superficial, it simply exists in various degrees which are complex to interpret. Probability—It’s not so much that the soul is cheap, as that it wants things in bulk. People may get what they want because it’s cheap. Because quantity is evil. I suspect this is how probability was born: as the doubt of price. Problems with Wise Choices—Arbitrariness: literally: choice about wisdom, or something more important. Thinking anything can be equally important. Arbitrariness. Prodigies, Late-Blooming—The oldest prodigy you can be is maybe a 40-year-old successful archeologist. In practically every other field they have to be 25 years old or younger. Philosophers are usually around 35 to 45 when they write their major works, but they don’t really care about prodigy status as they are generally recognized late in life or after they die. Productivity Problems—Then you’re stuck: with tea or coffee you might eventually develop a harder drug addiction. On the other hand, if you don’t write anything people will think you’re a nobody Professionalism, Gestalt—(Problem 1): Sounds like you need to be more competitive. Possibly you need a good education or more time devoted to the same tasks. (Problem 2): Sounds like you’re ignoring quality. You might need better leadership, but more likely you are ignoring intellectual achievements out of laziness. Programmers, Inexperienced—Basically, the inexperienced programmers know they might be offering you a good deal these days given Nathan Coppedge’s work and / or their experience in programming, though at the same time they expect bad feelings and they want to be paid if they have to feel bad and potentially lose a lifetime of work to their con-artist boss. Probably a gifted prodigy could get more done than someone who’s just using excel sheets, but that depends on them liking Nathan Coppedge. Or, in some cases they know something that is more practical for specific needs. However, hiring a prodigy for even an hour can break the bank, and programming generally takes hundreds or thousands of hours. A prodigy is also more likely to trick you into wasting time or doing the same thing over and over. Though many inexperienced programmers know very little about programming. You’ll find yourself very literally in mountains of debt with some talented jerk and their upper class lawyer pretty soon probably if you think they’re low class. Progress—Well, before late Medieval there just wasn’t any real progress, let’s take that for granted. Unless armor-craft and heraldry counts, but both of those kind of already existed in Ancient Greece. Or at least, progress was not seen as such. I remember thinking in 1986 or 1989 that ‘progress is finally happening’. Janos Projnow—The reason he thinks the world is full of assholes is because he is surrounded by mathematicians. Maybe he can’t process that cartoon he’s obsessed with. Dinko said “I know Janos is lucky, because his theories are crap, but he can do magic. At least, his theories are crap BY NOW, if you know what I mean?” Prolificity— Well, I am also on Academia, and I have published 200 papers there, plus 200 books and over 350 videos on perpetual motion machines. I have also made over 400 artworks and dozens of paintings just to make a point, and written over 100 poems. And I expect I’m not the top either, all things considered, unless someone values the particular things I contribute. Property—In the sense of quality, a property might be called a characteristic of significance, or a characteristic of interpretation. Out of this more general meaning, we have some recent scientific views which take it to be a physical characteristic like chemistry or specifications. Psychic Energy Sources--- Humans try to make maximal use of psychic energy. The problem with draining such energy if it existed is that human mental performance would probably be depleted. Humans already use energy very efficiently. Another problem is the energy viability of such sources is probably overrated compared to for example burning wood. It could also lead to what are called in Core Studies ‘conscious horrors' in other words bad conditions for already conscious people and new generations. If you wanted to gather psychic energy the first step might be to boost imagination without causing dopamine dependence. Another problem is there is no proof mental energy is located in large amounts of outside the head. Electricity is not a metaphor. and the brain is not just electricity. Psycho Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz—My mother said: “You shouldn’t read it, it is too un-original for you.” I browsed a few pages and ‘blech’ she was exactly right. Maybe this is what everyone needs to get out of the book. I had a sneaking feeling though that I would be more original if I hadn’t read it at all. Public opinion about Nathan’s sexuality or lack thereof—I make diagrams and such hoping someone may interpret it and make use of it, I have no major social aspirations, I simply think of myself like an old person who should be kind of rich, and maybe there can be a website that hosts this kind of literature and such. I feel like I’m in retirement, never had sex, never seemed to get spectacularly wealthy, if I got wealthy it wouldn’t be because of swinging the other way, matter resolved, it’s somebody who likes making diagrams that might be useful. Call it a different species if you want, but you can’t always assume what it means and pretend you know everything. When people think I do gay things it doesn’t mean I do gay things. Pythagoras—Notes of harmony. QAnon: The worship of random chance, or rather my Dad says, the embracing of bloody psychopaths. Qualia, Explanation of—Pretty simple. Qualia are for the purposes of human psychology. They don’t exist per se, but they are a legitimate form of translation, in that humans need a layer of softness in order to avoid damaging their own brain. This layer may be explained as emotionalism, or just suitability of information, or other niceties, depending on how the brain happens to be working. Avoiding niceties is possible but implies that someone wants to take damage. Quality—A quality is an emotion attributed to an object or idea. The meaning is similar to ‘interpretation’ or ‘significance of’. Quantum Computers—Basically, it will take a problem, and store all the outcomes in a very small space. Then it can select and read certain outcomes while ignoring the others. The outcomes it can read can have a lot of detail (sort of infinite detail) because of the type of small space it’s stored in. On the other hand, it can be prone to error because it’s based on probability. Quantum Computing without Quantum Computers—Basically, it is a format based on full understanding of a problem. The logic is designed to involve ‘exclusive categories’ which express completeness when certain assumptions are valid. If the assumptions are correct, it can provide information on anything that fits the format. If the format is universal, then it provides standardized knowledge on absolutely anything. Quantum Computing—As it is, it is likely conventional computing has some things to say, and that is being ignored, which suggests a turn towards antiquarianism, which may be good, but not always good for quantum computing. However, room temperature superconducting, if real, could be a good sign for continued research provided that it ‘really is’ room temperature, which is doubtful but maybe. Quenneville, Richard—Hypocrite to some extent. Wouldn’t your response imply that we never reach truth? “I hope not!!!! I went to some trouble to state the trouble with a history of ideas. The TRUTH is discoverable precisely when we stop viewing THE PHILOSOPHY OF A CERTAIN TIME! If we are oriented toward discovering the TRUTH; if we DESIRE the Truth, we will begin to discover it. As we progress through life, we can attain WISDOM, which is nothing other than attaining the TRUTH in major categories.” Quantum Computers—By the time you have an answer from a quantum computer, you might need another quantum computer to interpret it, in an endless regress—Roger U. They killed the middle class, so what do you expect? They are just trying to make them buy a quantum computer simulation. Quantum Foam—Zero-dimensional. Quantum Physics, Contextuality Which Denies Reality—The most basic version is that it is a level of tininess which doesn’t function like normal reality. Then you have to study quantum physics, except you never quite know how it works Question Marks — Possibly a spiral marking confusion was the first question mark. It probably dated to the time of Zeno, just before Socrates. Zeno, who was gay, was rumored to be the greatest philosopher of his day, but most of his work has been completely lost. Zeno was the inventor of paradoxes. Question of Modern Technology—If you want evidence of perpetual motion it’s most likely mechanical, not a literal overlap with quantum computers or spaceships or any of that junk. It’s different technology (and of course everything is). Quora—Civilization might die if Quora dies, but that doesn’t mean Quora has done everything right. Quora is a good thing, yet could do better. It’s not going to do better by deleting any of the content. If it has to make choices, it should probably still save all the spaces with more than 100 views, plus a good part of all the answers. Race and Generalism—It’s like, ‘is philosophy about race?’, ‘Is racial issues about television? Well, probably not…’ Philosophy is general even if it has racial problems. Racing Thoughts—Everything. Being aware of many things or many changing patterns is not always nausea, sometimes it is an epiphany about life’s many opportunities. However, it can lead to problems like mental collapse and stroke. Radicalism---One of the lessons the CIA has learned is not all radicals are equally ‘radical' and interest in weaker ones can offset stronger ones. So consider carefully what you mean by radical, it is not just a word. Ayn Rand— I have noticed some of her popular influence is only very recent, as if it were an imperfect reaction involving either loving or hating absolute knowledge theories, such as my own coherent knowledge projects. The preference to ignore my work and love Ayn Rand is bizarre, as she does not originally seem to have a theory of knowledge unless people are hallucinating. I think her biggest idea might be that a sock can be wrong way in as opposed to inside out. Rationality—You might choose to see knowledge as rationality, opinions as knowledge of the senses which can be deceiving, and rote learning as education. Read Carefully—Technically to contribute much to the ‘genius’ part of stupid genius you would probably have to do more than just basic logic or overdone experiments. Reading—Could create basic problems like back pain, neck pain, and un-exercised muscles, though some intellectuals (like me) find this enjoyable. I think most people who read books would not necessarily read math, I’m not saying I prefer math books but I might read them sometimes. Much of the material I read now is online, mostly my own writing. A lot of things that are available to read these days are either short articles or books from amazon. Reading, Complex View of—Perhaps you are not psychologically naive. You perceive the author is usually trying to manipulate you, and if they do not try to manipulate you, they may be stupider than you. Realism—Since true often equates with ‘real’ (except in the matrix movie variations), it was considered common sense in the 1990s to think that everything is ‘real’ — that ‘real’ is the right viewpoint, except for things like drugs, which do not really change reality, but they change our perception of reality. Realism and Art—Artists can be stuck in a rut with realism just like they can with abstraction. See how sad that sounds? It is worth noting, however, that artists consider realism a challenging medium, because it can be a hair degree more complicated to make everyone think the same thing about it. Realism and Romanticism—Basically, they are natural historical developments. Romantics discovered robots, and Utilitarians and Scientists attempted to make good on the robot dream. Scientists happened to be realists. Reality—If you want to describe reality, you need a theory of anything, or a non-theoretic framework or an alternate theoretic framework. Real or Unreal—Ostensibly a real difference. There is a less of a difference theoretically, for example, if ‘real people’ don’t engage in pleasure. Although there could also be infinite differences, is what humans might be ‘paranoid’ about. It is thought there is much discussion on whether humans have a right to use the term ‘paranoid’. My sense is there is a language barrier between gods and humans, which prevents gods from understanding that humans are paranoid but don’t desire bad forms of craziness. Humans assume the worst but they act for the best given the worst. Rebelliousness, Connection Intellectual Radicalism—Since 1968 there has seemed to be some desire for eccentricity, either in what one studies or in one’s personality. For example, Kaku studies string theory. Nome Chomsky was thought to be rationally insane (He’s still alive, but he’s 94). Musicians from the 1960’s were like the Beats, they were seen as radicals, non-conformists, individualists, and rebels. Reductivism—Is a paltry aesthetic. Troy Reed—I think my Dad a Yale PhD got conned by this guy. He was selling metal parts for a bit over the price of the original parts, like 29.99. Selling junk metal for cheap. It sounds good, but then the guy can get away with selling things that don't work. For a better idea of what to do with scrap metal, see: Escher Machine May Loop 2023 Reincarnation—Someone who is a successful politician may end up being reincarnated more often. If an entire race dies out, it is less likely one will be reincarnated if one had experience in that race. Also, people who become material are more likely to be reincarnated. If their intelligence drops too far they may become a base animal. Relativistic Velocities—What I am not clear about is whether positions change radically over vast distances in space. It is possible it is not just velocity, but also distance, which is confusing. (Organized) Religion—I suppose if inventions and philosophies have more support, that would move civilization in the direction of secularism. Religious Coherence—In point of fact, unless we already embrace one of these religions, there is no particular reason why we should accept the definition that religion is unified for those who join it. —What is the criticism of Emile Durkheim’s “Totemism”? Religious People Versus Philosophers—You have to keep in mind most philosophers are probably jobless and mooching off relatives, in worse shape than some religious people if the religious people don’t join a cult. But that’s a big if if you see what I mean. Renaissance Thinkers—By the time books were printed, the Renaissance was almost over it seems like. Gutenberg wasn’t until 1500 something. The scholars of the Renaissance were really nobles like Shakespeare. At the height of the Renaissance in 1580 Shakespeare was only 16 years old. Replicating Alien Technology—Mostly it’s a pipe dream (this is a metaphor), for the key reason that we pretty much think of absolutely everything we’re capable of thinking of, plus there are a lot more years involved in past and current technology than immediate-future technology. Research at Southern CT—A $500 baloney sandwich. Reurink, Daniel—Maybe this is going too deep, maybe I’m reading in too much, I don’t know if I want to think about “some guy wearing a mask,” that’s what I get out of this. What is the real rule that says I wear the mask and not you? Why go deep? Why look for emotional effects? You’ve thought more about ‘not cool’, that means you’ve thought more about ‘cool’. Nathan knows that. It’s not that it needs to hurt or should hurt, but sometime it does hurt. There’s no such thing as something special in the ultimate scheme of things. The ultimate-ultimates are the ones that make the real mistakes. And undoubtedly that’s true of you as well. I don’t want to be your victim, and I’m not sure of your philosophy. Emotions—well, I hope they’re just emotions, because the alternative is worse. It doesn’t look on the surface like metaphysics, or not exactly. Metaphysics is not boobs. And even if it were, the replacement would not be better. Reverence, Human—Folding napkins is a key example. Reverse Psychology—It seems to be good for learning about psychology, it is maybe not so good for ‘life’. Revolutions—Seems to me the American revolution made a bigger difference because America was a new culture, whereas France remained similar to how it was in some ways. If we want to appreciate French reforms, we almost have to support Marie Antoinette for ruining government. In the U.S. it’s more like they were lucky new people. Revolutions in America—They’re basically trying to flash an ‘I can afford a lawyer’ card. They are not street urchins or feral children they are people who live in the modern world. So, they don’t want revolution, they want to dive into a gigantic pot of coffee. Rhizome—Deleuzian concept. YY may have said he was looking for the word ‘multi-variate’ combined with some kind of diaphragm. Rich People—Rich people are more likely to survive. And they tend to be lying, abusive, alcoholic, careless, and unrealistically lucky. Rich people are worthwhile scum. I probably have to believe otherwise to become rich, but it’s a catch-22. Rio de Janeiro, Statue—They just put on the arms for photo ops. In real life it’s a big dildo. Robot Brains-- Actually, we don't even know if a robot has a brain. Until I thought robots might have perpetual motion cores I thought they didn't. Robots—We could call them zappos and it would change their identity. Robots, Ethical?—No, not unless they live in a utopia powered by perpetual motion machines. The waste of batteries is unethical, and the replacement of human life. However, in practice, robots are not as useful as thought, that is why people try to make them useful. Robots, Reproducing—In principle a perfect robot as opposed to cyborg would not need to reproduce, because it could both be immortal, and simply buy new units from a store. Robustness—A robust abstract system has little to do with verifying fuel efficiency, just like a robust motor has little to do with generating knowledge. The traditional notion of robustness simply means durability, like leather shoes that last. Therefore, the applicability to abstract systems may be worth skepticism. After all, durability has no application in systems which have no materiality. Rolled Up at the Planck Length—All that is rolled up at the Planck length includes impossibility, coherence, growth, perpetual motion, and the mathematics of nature. Otherwise it involves more than -1 dimensions. Rollerblading—For usefulness rollerblades are much better than skateboards if you can learn to ride them (probably much easier to learn than skateboarding, actually, though still quite a painful learning experience for a lot of people compared to say biking), but they can be dangerous to use unless you’re very cautious on where you rollerblade. Busy roads can be unsafe, and police in some areas will tell you you need to stay on the road. Cars though are less cautious about distance between the car and a rollerblader compared to the distance between a car and a biker, because they instinctively treat bikers more like cars. This, and the difficulty braking quickly or turning on rollerblades makes rollerblading supremely dangerous compared to almost anything except mountain climbing, martial arts, high altitude climbing, and living near war or large, predatorial, or poisonous animals, sex, or criminal activity. Rollerblading feels a lot like getting sued. Skateboarders are actually sued. Romance—The latest news from the TOE says humans are zero-dimensional. Women might find love if they prefer someone with three more dimensions than them. Men might find love with an animal or inanimate object. Gods probably sink low or remain single depending on their gender. Romanticism—Illogic is not a thing. Romanticism and herd-think which are nearly opposites, and mental trauma are things. A philosophy of irrationality is like an attempt to recover from mental trauma involving romanticism, e.g. the will to live and some extreme ideas. Irrational philosophy would probably ultimately be pro-science if it were not for mental trauma, except that it may oppose drugs and animal torture. W.D. Ross—I put Ross’s theory in with a group of theories that sound depressing for no reason—maybe it is good or not, but why should I care, because it sounds depressing. Unfortunately criticizing Ross does not require criticism, it just requires feeling better. Rostow Stages—Rostow stages are like a modernization transition theory. I personally don’t find them very helpful. But it is true that societies with more categories or more technological development develop towards mass-consumerism. It tells you “you’re modern” without reassuring you that you can change your philosophy. J.K. rowling—An inventor, for example of the leverell. Ruben, Katy—[Primary influence 2005] Katy may have related a general formula for some of the biggest ideas: [Abstraction that represents a neutral area regarding a near-universal concept]. This formula may have lead to such ideas as Exponential Efficiency, Proportional Numbers, and the Function Spectrum. Nathan may have written a similar but slightly different rule by 2013. There also may have been some time-travel involved, so I am not 100% sure that Katy is the originator, but she is someone who had skipped 4 or 5 grades. Russia—I guess not all remember it was a Bolshevik revolution. Sadism--What humans really believe is it's irrationality with a license. Sadness — In fact, before about 1800 or even 1920, depression was virtually unknown and was seen similarly to being romantic or feeling a slight change of fortune. James Salter—James Salter… Very novelly quality with somewhat risque images that were sometimes embarrassing to think about, quite beautiful though and more imagistic than most fiction. Seems the nature of this particular book (something like ‘Where the Ambergris Runs Free’) was to communicate the inherent idea of a zebra-striped carpet. It was literally hard to get it out of my head. Destin Sandlin: Conjectuary. Jean-Paul Sartre: A very original example of not having a voice. A story of a lost voice. Saul David: The other possibility is it may be one of the most insipid writings I ever read. If it’s not classic-classic it may not be classic may be the rule to follow. (It may be so insipid you think of loading a gun). Scatological Thinking: Eat a bit more fish and try vegetarianism and the problem basically goes away, if someone is a purist without any brain damage and doesn’t worship the devil. Schizoids: I guess one way to see it is schizoids are less materially aware/dependent, or otherwise highly enlightened people. Schizophrenia: Having better hearing than the gods. Schizophrenia and Addiction: They don’t want to go out and shoot people, they want their $5 - 25 a day for starbucks food, or something along those lines. Science---Presence of, Engineers, technology, doctors, and millionaires in places with a lot of scientists, fourth stage of culture. —Stages of Culture Science and the Ahistoric—Some assessments of hard- versus soft- science fiction might be obsolete if technology is ultimately indistinguishable from magic. So, the premise, I guess, is that technology reaches a limit. But that implies no age beyond science, which in the end defends a viewpoint which is static, and anhistoric. There is a detail that the intelligent types in Myer-Briggs including the scientists are classified as ‘intuitives’ which suggests that all scientists would probably ‘evolve’ to be something like an ‘emotional’ e.g. intuitive type if their brain is working. If science doesn’t work emotional it is implicated that science would have some form of brain damage, ultimately if not originally. Science and Artificial Intelligence—At best you might say ‘more reliable / less reliable’, ‘predictable under this model’ etc. This is part of the trend that moved things towards A.I. Science, Invention—I remember well that science wasn’t really invented until Mendeleev. However I’m not sure of the exact year. I think people learned about it in the newspaper sometime between 1857 and much later. There were earlier claims, but they were not of the universalized, imperatively useful, labcoat variety. Scientists—The life of a scientist is really about being superhuman. Secret of Computers—They may use telecommunications a bit is one guess. Circuit boards may be aesthetical. Computers may be based on intellectual property. Secret of Philosophy: Why is modern philosophy appealing? You might say, because it’s skeptical and also assumes that one person is similar to another, to borrow political language. Secrets of Robots—The ethics of not thinking, the story of robots. SEP on Metapjysics: X = y * z looks like it makes sense, but actually does not, because X will not = y * z at any other coordinate for X. Although the theory sounds like my Coherent Calculus, it is actually different, as it is not expressing inverted delta or the slope of a line. Also, my Coherent Calculus assumes coherence and does not apply in ordinary-world situations. Also, I would say meaningful mathematicians ARE bipedal, and referrimg to A world does not in terms of metaphysics, imply referring to ALL worlds qua property. In these ways the SEP might be sloppy. Seratonin—Companies also oppose serotonin drugs because they actually make people happy long-term which results in them buying fewer products. I have also heard there is such a thing as a serotonin dependence in large amounts. My guess is people start burning serotonin to spend on other processes because basic satisfaction is all that most people want. Service Industries, Modern—I’m thinking using modern / luxury architecture and services located in modern / luxury architecture will get cheaper. It can raise the average price of services and increase customer base, meanwhile customers do not have to necessarily be rich to afford services consistently. I’m picturing for example, what might be called local flavor internet or live-in internet restaurants. They could get a lot of customers by having sanitary sleeping areas (e.g. sleep in a 1-person chair), offering internet, and charging less than a hotal with the expectation people would leave frequently or mostly use it for research / internet. Odd behaviors could be avoided by not including porn or by making sure things look upscale with high expectations. One possibility is that research could be built up and structured based only on local or chain participants, like a customizable group information culture website. Perhaps cheap products could be offered at the restaurant for contributions of one kind or another. Alternately, it could be divided between ‘adult’ / ‘non-adult’. Sex—Right now, it’s devils or something, it’s not too pretty. Sex Appeal, Feminine—If the woman is super-sexy men might be turned on by anything except a butcher knife, dark rituals, anal intercourse, and flushing baby heads down the toilet. Well, not really. Sex Bots Vs. Analytic Knowledge—They’re going completely in the wrong direction. Human knowledge has progressed by a billion fold since 2013. Ignoring analytic knowledge to try to create a sentient sex bot is pettifoolery. Sex Changes—Please don’t have a sex change, that’s not what I mean. Try to see what works with what you have, that’s what everyone should do. Kevin Simler, author of A Nihilist’s Guide to Meaning: [Sees things as connected through what is considered locally significant…] No, here is the problem with that theory: many things considered meaningful in a larger context will be connected only by the generic contrast with the meaningless. If this seems incorrect, that suggests the context itself is meaningless. Either larger meanings are necessary for meaning, or one must find meaning in a specific thing, or one must find meaning in the meaningless, for example creatively. If he’s really a nihilist he will just make me feel bad, at which point his rhetoric would be worthless. I’m an emotionally-based person, so I know he’s either insincere or his message is not worth reading. If he is insincere, I would also rather not read him. Regarding the other points that were raised, you’re forgetting in this case we are not looking for ‘just any kind of meaning’ but rather ‘the most meaningful thing’. Also, since I am an objectivist, I object to the idea of no objective, metaphysical meaning because if we view this absolutely there would ultimately be no meaning at all, as sometimes we may desire (emotionally) to find objective meaning, but if it is not there we will ultimately find life more and more meaningless. Meaning that is only emotional is insubstantial. This is not just an assumption, it is based on experiences real people have had, and is especially important if we begin with the assumption that there is no objective form of it. What if for example, someone was looking for chemical meaning, but their life was subject to highly restricted freedoms? We would probably call that life less meaningful, even though you said ‘there is no objective meaning’. In this way, saying there is no objective meaning is extremely hypocritical, if what you are looking for is meaning. I think what you mean is given certain objective stimuli, if some of them are worse than usual you will need different conditions to compensate, not the same conditions, but if the conditions are objective that suggests that meaning is not just emotional. In my view, even if meaning turned out to be chemical, that would still be an objective stimulus. I call this problem ‘coffee snobbery’ — no life isn’t the same without coffee, but that doesn’t make coffee perfect, we could in fact find meaning other than coffee, and it is not even certain coffee provides meaning. Something other than coffee might be more objective. And how the body responds to coffee might not be subjective, but rather private and objective. Similarly, if I have brain damage (in this case meaning trauma to the head) and I don’t think it is 100% horrible, regardless of how I communicate, the brain damage is probably a horrible thing, though that doesn’t mean it is horrible in the way others expect. Whatever form of meaning I adopt either responds to the brain damage or tries to ignore it, and in that way it is objective meaning as well as objective damage. The idea that I could have meaning which does not respond to real-life conditions is unrealistic, and may be an example of coffee snobbery or other forms of chemical dependence. The point is, chemistry does not buy independence from reality, it simply buys its own type of island of potential responsiveness. Under some conditions for real reasons the island could seem less helpful or significant, which suggests the chemistry is objective just like the reasons to be on and off the island. The idea that ‘life is how it is’ but the interpretation is arbitrary may actually come from using coffee, so that whole attitude may be an objective feature of chemistry. That is, if we consider it emotionally. The outlier cases might be like general lack of knowledge, or objective differences. Simply because someone prefers nihilism does not mean it is absolutely correct, it may be partly an emotional bias disguised as an argument. ‘The simpsons’—They have radioactive skin. Simulation theory—There is no real reason for metaphysically ‘different stuff’. In an irrational universe on the other hand there may be no real explanation no matter what. Peter Singer — I argue if I don’t want to become an African child I shouldn't spend money to save them, like I shouldn’t spend money to save cats if I don’t want to be a cat. If I try to save either, I might be naïve, because either life might be undesirable compared to mine. Imagine if being an African child is worse than being catfished, but being catfished is really bad, then I shouldn’t want to support catfishing, so I shouldn’t want to support the African child. Much of the misery might be unavoidable unless I spend more than $20. And there are many that won’t have the $20 to spend. If we have a free $20 and it doesn’t matter, that’s the American mentality. But yeah, some don’t have the money, and those that do would need to spend more, then we realize the situation doesn’t work like we think. Think of it from a motivational point of view: the life of the African child might not be very motivated, but if they get $20 they do feel motivated but once they feel motivated they might feel they need more. Do I want to create motivation for someone who I don’t feel motivated about? What if I don’t have to be like them unless they’re motivated like me? I want to be as different than them as possible, even THEY want to be as different from them as possible. But somehow they became like them, which means either there is no control over the situation, or they didn’t want to be like me. Singularity: What is beyond all spatial dimensions? Originally, the singularity. Skepticism— Skepticism, if you mean reductivism, is an important tool worth 2 or 3 fairly significant heuristics, some of what used to be the best… There is an angle from which skepticism is an emotional quality. One may as well mean dourness and self-insightfulness: it is hard to see how these terms inherently mean skepticism. Skills / Skill Acquisition: It totally depends. Sometimes you only have a few options for learning skills, sometimes parts of life may get in the way, sometimes it’s best to do a lot of work at the same time if you want to make progress. Skinny People: What compensates for skinny people occasionally losing more percents is that skinny people often are better at maintaining their average weight so they don’t care much when they lose weight or just get addicted to not eating. (Former) Slavery in the United States—Why are blacks still complaining about police brutality? It seems like too much of a coincidence. Perhaps what really happened is recently blacks weren’t born into slavery, so it’s easy to forget it happened. It’s true there were some educated blacks who were super-smart. And they were noticed and stood out. But they did not seem like elite godlike people to whites. They just seemed a bit lucky or perhaps above the average. They were not always the most athletic of the black people, or the most handsome. If you look at the history of ideas, it is not just white-washing that creates so few black intellects, it is also the fact that there was an institution of slavery, or in some cases something very similar like using blacks as house-pets or servants. There could have been a lot of exceptions, but that is always true, and it appears to be less true than you might think in the context of slavery. There is an architectural explanation: earlier, before the world wars, before they gave blacks a military paycheck (or not, I guess sometimes), there were different buildings used in different ways, and some of it was quite tragic. Tragedies didn’t just happen to blacks, but a lot of the tragedy from that time happened to blacks. Or so it seems. Sleep Learning—In another world where people have more idealistic fun, there would be more complex stimuli and stimuli interactions, but there would also be a risk of borrowing imprinting from a more basic level. The most complex level seems to be when a world with idealistic fun has a selection of various basic imprints to choose from. In this case it begins to depend on the judgment faculty, which unfortunately is prey to all the problems of philosophy and sometimes very crude and embarrassing problems also, like how sickness communicates, or how one’s legs ache in the morning. Things can be simpler than they seem. Sometimes happiness itself is inherently simple, but not always. And sometimes one must remember reduction is desired, though at other times complexity is hard to find. That is one of the dialectics, but I doubt it relates with the divine. Slickers—It’s a modern myth. They have a big budget. (‘Just lie?’… ‘Bible testament?’… ‘Jesus impersonators?’… ‘Real Jews for-real on television or something?’) Peter Sloterdijk: He may be more erudite, but he is also more nihilistic. Smart Asses—Maybe smart-asses are gay, or maybe smart-asses get diseases in their dick, or maybe smart-asses don’t get any satisfaction. Any kind of problem with smart-asses could create a problem with the smart-ass approach, even if they are great at answering questions. But if they’re not great at looking like a smart-ass, there’s not much to recommend it compared to something like a Theory of Everything unless the smart-ass is virtuous or rich or has way more fun or a better philosophy. Smart Genes—The question is whether our genes recover from all the drugs like sugar and psychiatric meds. Keep in mind though, ‘smart’ and ‘having fun’ are not always the same thing genetically. Smartphones—It is high technology, but actually making use of human ambitiousness in sense beyond blogs and online education is one of the things that it’s lacking. Unfortunately, the devices such as smartphones and laptops are one of the most genius solutions to boredom ever conceived by humanity. Compared to these things, the board games and novels of decades ago are almost an atrocity, as far as to how much they alleviate boredom. Adam Smith—Just keep in mind, today’s economy is more like a debt system than Adam Smith says. So, there may be more disillusionment than Smith lets on. Competitive markets are useful, however, if the goal is to avoid dictatorship. Snails—I personally like snails unless I get close to them, I think they must be philosophical. I once felt one crawling on me. Pretty weird. Socialization—People feel put up to it. There’s too much strain. Social Acceptance—You will find you will probably be singled out as unusual and attacked or punished for being weird, even in the United States before 1988 or so. Socialist: A theory for socialism. Social Psychopathy—I think I heard there was something psychopathic about vending machine tables, maybe it creates social psychopathy? Social Rebuke: The genius is invariably translated as ‘unsuccessfully good’ so as to punish them, which often results in the abuse of their inventions. Social Security (US)—It’s not really corruption, because it was found in the last 20 years that jobs don’t really work, because employers are picky and don’t always know how much to pay their employees to keep people from starving. They want to pay bottom dollar, but employees are faced with rental problems, and have to quit their job eventually if they have no place to live. So, it is better if government modulates the economy somewhat, making sure that there is enough money where most people survive well even without a job, because jobs are supposedly being taken over by robots. This also means a select few who are employed may be making more money because they are bigger parts of the system than people who are just on government benefits or whatever. Sadly if this system collapses the alternatives will probably be much worse. It helps to keep in mind that with their current education a lot of today’s people would be brahmins in the earlier society or something similar. However, they rarely have the same level of experience with luxury as the earlier brahmins. You might say it’s similar to a society of ugly ducklings who never grow up because the economy isn’t that supportive. They may have magic powers, but we may never know. I personally think if the poor are exterminated it will make matters worse. The economy really depends on a pyramid scheme or banking will seem like a sham. Another factor is that human psychology may be a pyramid scheme where the rich feel more advanced if there are multiple layers beneath them. If all that is left beneath the rich are survivors, the rich may not feel different than survivors. As a result we get this thing lately where celebrities feel like they’re wearing grunge clothes and going to mcdonald’s. It could be translated as just death of the wealthy classes. The remaining rich are under an illusion that they’re getting ahead because others are falling behind. That isn’t necessarily how it works. Sociology: Title: [Knowledge] [of People]. Soul: If you [learn] [without people] this separation [will make you ignorant]. In other words, knowledge without people involves at least ignoring people, which makes one wonder why one would be a person and ignore people. Knowledge of people seems to assume all knowledge is about people. Socrates--Socrates may have invented truth and justice, and Archimedes had an unknown number of inventions. I think he came a bit more before Archimedes, and I’m not sure he fully developed his formula for the soul. Another point is I am viewing Socrates as an inventor. He may have been a better human being and philosopher than he was (an) inventor. Soft Science—This is yet another one of those questions where you are trying to rule out an entire category without necessarily knowing how it works. You can’t rule out an entire category, because they might be right. If you assume they’re always wrong, you’re making the mistake. You think they couldn’t save your life? For what reasons? —Should scientific realists/rationalists reject (in part or completely) knowledge obtained by psychology? Solipsism— It doesn't have to be that way, so you can just change your opinion, or if you don’t change your opinion, you could be wrong. Sophists—An ethics professor notes the advantage of sophistry, in particular true sophistication which is like the first sign of genuine modernism, remains one of the enduring secret lessons of Plato. The idea that all one needs is to be sophisticated. That people can grow up. Soullessness—Some would say soulless people have more experiences, as one consistent magic show audience member once said. Who knows? Maybe to some rare person who made weird choices soullessness is just more exotic. I’m not like that, but some people might be. My guess is that guy was a bit lucky compared to most people who claim they’ve lost their souls. Souls—In my view souls are a permanent part of technology, at worst a usable idea, or perhaps the wrong idea Southern Connecticut—See, that was a little bit like Euler because he resisted the chemical. Southern Connecticut Library—Going in there is against instincts. It’s like they poison people like rats. The best thing that happened there is there was a probably inaccurate rumor that they had installed a perpetual motion machine above their old bathroom. Space Travel—I recommend sending robots for mining-type activities, and maybe focusing on budget and timescales rather than human involvement. Spectroscopy—It’s not related to philosophical coherence at all, I can tell you that much. If someone uses the suffix ‘-assisted’ or anything involving lasers or photons it’s not philosophy and unless and probably even if they are working on designing a computer, they are most likely not interested in omni-science. Study Nathan Coppedge if you find it relevant. It can be helpful but it’s not pure entertainment so not everyone likes it. Suicide—Imagine if there was no word for suicide before the Arabs invented it in 1000 AD or so, that could change someone’s mind about some things. Americans think the word suicide is like an immortal truth and Nietzsche almost backs that up. Thomas Sowell—Is a dogmatist. Spandrel—Unlivable space is probably what this phrase literally means. Specialism: It is important to have a name for all the talent and skill that goes into something like science. —Nathan Coppedge's answer to Who invented zero (0) and one (1)? Spilling Coffee—Sad and painful, as I gather. Standardized Tests—A better test is simply an insightful one unless the goal is only to teach someone the system of measurement. Someone’s aim may be more or less practical and more or less original completely independent of any fixed system of measurement. Status Quo—On the one hand, a lot of people are suffering from headaches, depression, drug addiction, etc. On the other hand, if you’re in the group of people who seems to be doing fine, then you can pretend you’ve improved your life a lot if it is already fine, but then fairly often life becomes worse after that for some reason, not because you tried to make it better, but because it was already far above the norm. Rudolf Steiner Steve jobs—Musk and gates probably have the status of jobs. They were all high-profile. Jobs less so now since he’s dead. Keep in mind, jobs sort of jumped into popularity with the release of the i-phone and it was linked to the connection with pixar after the fact. He was not always that popular. A lot of it was that he appeared in apple computer ads or something like that, like in the NY Times and on big billboard ads. It was paid for with money. He could be compared to Ramsees II at this point because it was so high profile. “Great things in business are never done by one person. They're done by a team of people.” — Steve Jobs. That’s because people will only ever believe a team of people, which is argumentum ad populum and argument from authority. Stimulus Checks and Unemployment—Statistically, unemployed people don’t even count as people in the U.S. if they are not looking for work. As you may notice, someone can still have a financial problem if they are not looking for work. After 6 months to a year of searching, even someone with training would likely give up and go for mooching of relatives or living off of stimulus checks, otherwise they would be dead. The Stoic Soul—Unless they can prove they’re a god, it may be likely that the soul is not immortal or that the soul is not very remarkable in spite of being immortal. An immortal life of suffering doesn’t look particularly spiritual, from a philosopher’s point of view. Stone Age Quantum Computing— You may have to think about the psychology and likelihood of finding a job to realize the advantage in pursuing this type of area. Strange, in Camus, is something unusual or impossible, or something thought impossible which somehow happens, yet is part of everyday life. String Theory: e.g. applying brain power. Strong A.I. The year 2800 is one guess. Billionaires just put the car on ‘coast’. By the time people realize they aren’t radical thinkers anymore, probably an average of 500 - 1000 years will have passed, with IQs dropping on average during that time because drug use is being selected, poor are reproducing more than the rich, and the system does not reward smart people for their flaws. Structural Functionalism (Business-Government Social Models): On the plus side they are using categories. On the minus side, they don’t have an interface. Structuralism—Unless language is objectively structured, there is no non-arbitrary perspective to rely on. Traditionally in the West, the question of structure is linguistic, though it might also be aesthetic or mathematical or conceptual. Student Life— Students become ‘destroyed’ people (in the Romanticized dreams of their elders) if they were not good students in high school, or if their dream is to feel euphoria, or if they have too much pressure from tough classes, or if their parents want to get rid of them and they have no social supports like rich friends or rich relatives, or if the begin to feel depressed or develop some other mental illness, or if they are in debt or need to have a job to pay for school. In practice, one or another of these cases could apply to the majority of students. Stupid Genius—Stupid genius. One way to see this would be that in daily life they might be lower-functioning than the ideal idiot savant, but with characteristics that for unknown or deceptively simple reasons out-perform some geniuses. It’s as if they do more work or know sources others don’t know, but somehow it’s as if they did smarter things. Or at least more obvious things. To qualify they would have to out-perform a genius in at least one category, even treated softly. But, the ideal case is if they manage to maximize quantity or quality or both compared to a genius. Yet, you might be forced to treat it softly, because in other ways they might be disappointing compared to an idiot savant. Stupidity—Because they’re stuck. To move to square 2 they need to defend square 1. But defending square 1 is inherently an exaggeration. (“I experienced it, and it’s exactly like flatland” —Commentary from a therapist). Stupid Question—In practice, it may be more elite to provide intelligent answers than to answer intelligent questions, it depends on how good your answers are and what questions you prefer. I have noticed over the years that some of the intelligent questions require specific answers that are already known by someone, in that case, answering a broad philosophical question could be more intelligent because the answers are open-ended. Subjectivity—I’m just defending my formulas, if you have better formulas or think thinking works without formulas, good for you. If someone says that ‘subjectivity means spice activity’ I think that’s a really bad thing. What’s the real point in saying one means the other when I only meant one not both? See what I mean? I DIDN’T MEAN SPICE ACTIVITY, I MEANT SUBJECTIVITY… AND ETC FOR OTHER THINGS I MEANT, EVEN IF THEY WEREN’T SUBJECTIVE AT ALL…! IT’S JUST NOT WHAT I MEANT SO DON’T DISTRACT ME WITH WHATEVER YOU CALL IT, LET ME SAY WHAT I WANT TO SAY. OR LET ME BE QUIET IF I WANT TO BE QUIET. Subjective Objectivity—Subjectively, they’re words. Objectively, a given truth could be subjective or not. In summarizing, there’s not much more to say, being brief, except perhaps to add that God is the concept that can make objective things truly subjective. Without God, objective things are just symbols or perhaps points of reliance or points of uniformity. I think I find symbols more comforting than God, but not once they are called objective. Subjective Taste—It’s not so much that it’s true, as that humans would prefer to believe that it’s true. Some of it is gimmicky thinking like ‘I have more taste than you’. Sometimes that means eating more food, or eating better quality food. What else could it mean? Some of the sense of taste is a language of elites sprinkled on top of things like addictions and less or more working memory or less or more gratification. How much of it is just words said to people you know? Some of the rest may be a simple unwillingness to be objective. Sublime: In philosophy actually means something like beautiful or infinite. Success and Failure—The terms ‘apparati errati’ meaning a machine that moves on its own power, and ‘concordia heterdoxica’ meaning a heterodoxical dictionary are what remains of the intellectual dimension of ‘erroneous’. An apparati errati is a physical thing designed to succeed. A concordia heterdoxica is something like a catalogue of what fails. Sugar--- Biology / Medicine. Understanding biological and organic systems is important for developing herbal remedies that lead to more advanced drugs. The refined sugars that are available today depend on a long string of development that began with more basic things like weak honey and mild-tasting wild berries like mulberries. Understanding drugs is necessary to treat certain types of mental disabilities and genetic disorders. Superhumanism—The Pending Question: In philosophy rationalism means believing that the world is primarily created by the mind. This is not science in the ordinary sense at least. Superhuman Powers—The same statement about requiring ‘over-unity’ level amounts of energy could apply to other animals in addition to humans. It could be that it’s exceptionally rare but happens occasionally,, like once every 5 years, to 100,000 years with some limitations. Humans are used to intentional performances, but not everything is a performance, some things are difficult. Supernormal—Virtue is still something to try, and things like talking or saving money. Some of the normal things are like magic compared to… magic. Super Powers Vs. “Superpowers”—The term ‘superpowers’ contracted like that originally only meant countries with nuclear weapons. The term ‘super powers’ or ‘super-powers’ was used to refer to someone who had powers which were super, instead of being a power, e.g. a nation which was super. Survival in Outer Space—If you analyze, unless you can establish wind power sources on Mars or build a perpetual motion machine, there will be little source of energy off planet except for ‘travel fuel’ and a few crumby solar collectors. Sydney Banks—Yet another case of big epiphanies meaning low standards or ideas that don’t really help people or probably shouldn’t. A moralizer, but also a poisoner if you get my feeling. A real parasite. The Symposium by Plato--- I've heard it described as kitsch philosophy compared to Plato's better-known works. You can always learn from Plato, but the concepts in the Symposium can be hard to grasp for beginners. Frankly a lot of Plaro's works are really advanced, you can almost pick a maturity level by how fast you read Plato. If you feel like reading it go ahead, its not garbage but it will send you further in life. Systems Past: (General, hazy conjecture) I think it is a fair technique on retrospect to conclude that almost all of these other philosophers including recent ones (really all others who might relate to coherence as of 2019) do not really offer ‘systems’, just extended descriptions of reasonable guesses. There is evidence based on the fact that the relatively bright idea by Hayek of using rules of thumb and bulleted lists to create more idea-content was almost exclusively not used by any of the other figures going back to earlier than Plato. Therefore, the content that is offered even by Plato may be considered suspect as having a writerly bias towards the privilege and authority of merely writing and having an opinion, as opposed to making proficient use of content. Although I realize in average cases Plato has a stupendous advantage, in really exceptional cases there is something clever about doing something different if it involves rules of thumb and bulleted lists. So, Aristotle may have done something like this, but he is not usually credited for having anything like a grand-unified theory, if that is the object. And that may be a sore statement on Plato, who after all was trying to be important as well. So, Plato encompasses much of life. But do I know the real Plato? Is it really so significant to swim in the skull of Socrates, or is that just an exercise of prolonged mental macromania? Systems Theory—Where did all the matter in the universe come from? We paid the price. Just a guess. This is why systems are important. And strategies. Talented People, Earnings—You will miss a lot of the talented people if you aim just at high net worth, unless you provide monetary incentives to all the talented people in the world. Tampering—The label in the upper right seems to say ‘Yeager’ which might be one of these products: If the system is still running it can be illegal to tamper with them, and sometimes dangerous in more ways than one. Tautology—Tautologies are not relativism. That’s a tautology, that’s as strong as it gets. If it were not for death, tautologies would be even stronger. Taxes—Unless the law is ambiguous, there should be no problem in pressing 1 - 3 buttons to fill out the form if you’re low income. Tears—Understand them as pensive frustration. TED—Consensus isn’t perfect at recognizing ‘outsider’ ideas. And it favors people with good presentation skills even if they are not expert researchers. Telepathy—You don’t want telepathy. You’re the noble elite if you don’t hear voices in your head. My impression is for every real telepathic conversation there is an eternity of madness. Plus, most people you talk to would either be stupid people or evil demons. Teleportation, Quantum: So, maybe it would be a clone, which doesn’t sound like teleportation really. Television: I have found if you want to be a real philosopher you really have to swear off television. It’s just not the right medium for philosophy unless it expresses a single archetypal idea. If it is a single archetypal idea, it is more like concept sketching or showing off inventions than it is like television. Even the best examples of television generally border on drama rather than big ideas. I find it disappointing. The level of irony and ‘pitch’ involved in television wrongly presupposes that great ideas are not possible, and that mere dramatic panache is somehow of greater importance than great ideas. Telomerase—See under Amphetamines. Temptation, “Great”—The problem with the great temptation perspective is that sugar appears to be made from plants, so drugs are probably made from plants so supposedly they’re not the devil. Until this can be disproven, people MAY want soda so they MAY want worse drugs, so then religion isn’t the only good. Added to that, religion wasn’t as pleasant as people thought, arguably. And, by the time they want it to be pleasant at all arguably it’s already Protestantism. So, Protestants had an argument that traditional religion was robotic. Not wanting the best things in life is being a robot. A traditional religious person goes to church to sacrifice their soul to God. A Protestant goes to church because they need to diet. How is the Protestant not being smarter? That’s what is so compelling. Just like Ann Bolyn might write in the Bible if her plan is to inspire religion in history’s most powerful country. Terminator movie—Very 1980s. It’s like they would try it but they wouldn’t have the technology. This may have been where the matrix movie came from in a media producer kind of way. Wu shu movie sort of. Tesla Valve—Tesla Valve—It seems to me water is particularly difficult to control (meaning entropic) with the tesla valve being a possible exception. Tesla valves work on a large scale! They do? Do they? YES!!! Someone says. Texas—Texas is also sometimes a question, but at this point I think it’s federally controlled. Ever since centralized government supported immigration basically I think. Theory of Everything: In a way I wish the announcement was bigger, or perhaps there is still a lot of confusion about how to apply the real theory. Theory of Everything Clue: Iffy 2. Theory of Everything Competition: They forgot to write down the formula? They would have no reason to forget if they had the formula. [Creating A] Theory for Something Without Realizing it Already Exists—Add to this theory of yours that it doesn’t really apply to Nathan unless there is a vast conspiracy. Thought— One possible definition could be: “Outer perception and inner perception re-integrated into an intellectual behavior.” Thought Process-Based Papers—I’d like to see more, but some people are bad at it. It also makes it hard to organize and sometimes hard to read. For a lot of people ‘thought process’ is more style than content. (It can be a distraction). T.I. [Chinese term for superhuman immortals]— If you accept evolution, you might expect more T.I.s in the modern world than the ancient world, but traditions seem to place more of them in the ancient than the modern. This suggests that they are partly myth or that some of the properties were more monstrous. Time—Although the length of [real and scientific] time is important, other notions of time such as time-travel time and motionless time may be more important. Time Machine-- The goal would be to make small-scale wormholes: wormholes in time more so than space. If we can do that we won't need a black hole. Study Nathan's designs for time-machines and time-travel methods, create an effect then exaggerate it, maybe using magical computers. Time in the Universe—Would I leave evolution up to chance? Possibly not. But do I think there is enough time in the universe for evolution to take place? Maybe there was before, maybe not now. Rude awakenings have happened before. There is no rule that ‘human time’ always holds. Time Loops—There were stories of time machines going back to the 1800s but they mostly did not involve loops in time until the 1970s or so. Time-Travel and Free Will—However, when they do not get what they want / desire, they want a free-willed universe so that they can go ahead and select what they want / desire. This suggests that free will is merely the preferences, whether or not someone desires to time-travel. Tin-Tin: The author (now deceased, supposedly) may have been attempting to create a divine memory of his own later past. The author consciously assumed his benefit was quantumly selfish, this may have been his only error. Tolkien: An attempt to find Chinese culture amidst Western biases. Toroids: The toroid is likely an attempt to make use of the holographic universe, but I think it's not an exclusive explanation, and frankly it was just an attempt to make black holes less scary, like saying it was God who created them mathematically, which is to say, intangibly, which is to say, far away, supposedly. I think it's possible black holes are hyperbolic space or even invisible mega-planets, but I think the toroid people do believe in black holes and their dangers. Training Instructors—There were a few forms of training for example, for accounting, or drama, or politics, but training of any kind was more of a performance than an actual example of learning. There were exceptions, but most of them happened after 1905. Trances—Me personally? Trance-like experiences are enjoyable to some degree, but I would not recommend anything extreme like drug trances or evil cults. There’s not much to say about it. It touches on the occult a bit but seems to not lead directly to analytic philosophy. The occult path ends up seeming a bit expensive and dangerous, and maddening, so it is more practical for most people to focus on the arts unless the occult is very enjoyable. On the other hand, I do NOT recommend psychological drug treatment over the traditional soul-development approach where possible. Even in a stressed state, there is nothing to beat the natural state for soul development. For productivity, drugs would be preferable EXCEPT that using drugs is far more like plagiarism than the natural state. Trans-Finite Numbers: Yet more points on an infinite number line, if a bit exponentially magnified. Transpersonal Psychology—In the past 50 years, science has increased, but the government claims this is because of the level of drugs. Furthermore, drugs have increased the level of internal stress, and internal defabrication. The ultimate result is not good. The people who take hard drugs are just as likely to commit suicide as make real contributions to science, and that is not a good sign. My sense is taking drugs is not really psychologically helpful. Transportation, ‘maglev’—Scenic rides though if noise is very low are potentially a tourist attractor which could increase development. Transportation, over-unity shoes—It is still being investigated if wedge shoes could create lift when walking on stairs. Trepers---When I think of natural approaches taking over for a long time I think of the Trepers. There's something scary about the trepers, and I think this is true no matter what. We don't want to be trepers number one. But we don't precisely want to ruin their habitat, either. They are the race defended effectively by the dangers posed in destroying their home. Tresmagistus—Some might think I am like this fellow because he appeals to occultists looking for scary coincidences. For example, the inventing of the panopticon makes people think he really lived thousands of years after his chosen time. On retrospect, my guess is he was a made-up text from about 1871, or more like 2007. The gods were really being jokey about selling the feeling of the current time. Trials of Passage—I’m a strong believer that many people are naturally close to their preferred state of being, yet it may also be that sometimes life tries us with hard lessons that make adaptation appropriate. Tricksters—I think if you go back to 1500 or around there people will try to trick you and convince you they completed what you want them to do for you. But if you go to today it’s less creative because the tricky people usually went to dangerous jails. So, I would say it’s been gradually selected out that people would do complex risky things for any amount of money. Triviality: Logically trivial is if something has no impact on logic, or is logically meaningless, or also if it is easy to prove to the point of not needing to prove it. The meaning is similar to empty. True Religion—My sense is human expectations are deceptive, so if we notice something it doesn’t appear. Humans believe in false ideas, even the bible says that. What reassures us is always nothingness, and the warm earth. Trump—My Dad has a Yale PhD and thinks Trump is a genius. Well, by default he says, because he is a billionaire who became President and NO ONE ELSE HAD DONE THAT IN THE U.S. AT LEAST. You might say he was a very successful populist, but more like a genius. Easy to forget life can be difficult. I don’t vote Republican, but he may have almost said there’s no point in voting against Trump because he’s a genius and not all politicians are geniuses. Try-Hards—They don’t idealize equations, they idealize everything else. T-Shirts—It is still a radical idea that t-shirts are not philosophical objects. Maybe they are best viewed as a form of 2.5-d language. Twilight Howls—In my case I’m referring to urban cityscapes, not necessarily a place like Arizona. It’s basically low-level magic that builds up over 11 - 40 years. I think enchanters who stay in a city long enough develop a power that causes noise at will. So, these noises are sometimes caused by experienced citizens venting energy or looking for affirmation from the universe (that they have magic power). When someone dies, the noises they occasionally make go away, so it depends on the size of the population and the number of people who know urban magic. It’s rather expensive energy-wise and not very harmful, so I would say don’t try to stop it. It may be also possible to control the sound, but usually not worth the effort. The sounds most likely get softer per person when the person gets older. An alternate theory is some kind of animal or parasite is tuned to human energy, but if someone develops hard evidence of this I would be skeptical. I think most likely it is magic or something similar. It is not caused by an odor or psychological response, other than perhaps spending more physical energy or being tuned to particular quantum phenomena. I think these things happen most often in New York and New Haven, but tell me if I’m wrong. I think there are parts of the Mid West where this type of event does not happen at all. These urban enchanters blame the lack of urban environment for the lack of noise when the noise is conspicuously absent. (Perceived) Ugliness—Attractive people may be more likely to be critical of others than they are about themselves, so they are less likely ‘to find something wrong with themselves’. Someone could be happy or sad in either situation. Uncanny Valley—Sometimes it just means the person is getting old or doesn’t have a large family, but that can mean things like self-mutilation or health problems. Some of these things get exceptionally weird if the person isn’t really human, kind of like a prairie dog that just watches television, or a puppet that was mistaken for a human being. Unemployment and Programmers—If they’re professionally connected or know how to provide goods or services they might make money if they stay busy, but otherwise they might be out of luck unless they have an easy time finding a job. Keep in mind I’m not saying they’re ‘naturally homeless’: programmers are still one of the top two occupations in America. Well, do the math. If most programmers are unemployed, but they have a $12 a day+ coffee habit (in expensive areas, pretty much everyone is going to spend $12 / day whether they have a coffee habit or not unless they are starving, rent is a bigger issue), they will need a commission or such worth over $360 a month plus rent. Meanwhile rent is very expensive, and not all programmers have an easy time finding a job. Maybe they can sell one thing for $10,000 if they’re lucky, that would still only last two or three years even if their rent is zero. Upper Class Genetics—Some have argued I think crassly that some rich people are simply inheriting an easy life and perhaps it isn’t always in their genes, but compared to what? Users—Maybe you could access a magical realm but you would probably be alone feeling pretty weird. Sort of on edge, like you’re being used. Truth might not be for users. And they said in the 60’s, truth is for users. Utilitarianism—(Obsolete). Sounded clever while people were confused. Values—I love values, but values are like the emptiest idea of emotions. “Wow, we have great expectations, now what?” That’s like values. Vampire Overminds—They would have to develop a taste for evil and then get really bored with evil in particular. Vampires—Of course they think they’re becoming vampires. But really, they develop a metabolic disorder that’s understndably rare. van Holstein--- People always think she is a promising researcher in biology. No doubt. But is she somehow a depressing fatalist? And was her past life drawing her portrait on an Easter Egg? Jorge Vargas—It seems to me if Vargas is running a solar business but it’s secretly perpetual motion really he’d make more money demonstrating perpetual motion to museum-goers if he has the secret. So, most likely he has given up on his earlier experiments. Velikovsky, Joe—In relation to the [link structure], Individual and Social Personalities could be subsumed under ‘individual’ and ‘society’. It is hard to see psychology and sociology as relating to anything other than individual and social personality. Thus, ‘personality’ may be a meta-concept. The thing / problem with subatomic particles, is that it is important to separate them into thinking and non-thinking types, which raises traditional philosophical dilemmas about fundamental substance. One response to this is to treat a thinking pattern like calculus as an interpretation of formed and unformed matter, which applies to both. Thus, calculus or similar becomes a synthesis of the ambiguous and categorical types of matter. Elemental matter falls into categories in an emotional translation. Ambiguous matter clearly must be synthesized into some type of thinking structure or becomes emotionalized as an empirical property. In this way, emotional synthesis of logical structures which may develop into personality summarizes much of the hierarchy, as the lower properties are merely potentially thought and potentially categories, while the middle categories are elements of thought and elements of logic, and the higher properties are either coherent unifiers or hierarchical groups (similar to empty sets, missing concepts like the real-alien which may end up being empirical), or involve individual and social personalities. Under unknown however, all of this becomes a tiny facet of metaphysics, a mere structural expression where alternate more emotional or more translative methods may hold true. If, however, my prediction comes true that the 4th dimension has less intelligence than the 3rd and 2nd, then Velikovsky’s system can be categorized as yet another manifestation of that remarkable genius we call the 2nd dimension, relative to all later ones. But this is true also of other intelligence in the 2nd dimension. And that may be important to notice. Velikovsky and De Botton—An occult sense of neither of them being ‘nice’, which means more than you might think. There is a possible detail that Velikovsky believes the future is computers not dimensions. Velikovsky and Shagaev—You might want to see them as luckier but otherwise less successful. Venice—It doesn’t seem to be stamped on my passport, so I must have imagined it. Video Games, 1990’s— There was more conviction of reality at that time in history. For example, diablo II (and also Simcity2000) is /are a great example (s), everyone thought the game was a real game, if not real life. Maybe that’s how games are supposed to be—crystal clear and empty of all delusions. Video Quality—I can’t rely on those fuzzy 70’s video recordings to help salvage my soul. In today’s world I have developed hundreds of relatively high-resolution videos giving moderate to possible evidence of something similar to real perpetual motion machines. Virtual Ratings—There are cases where having imagination might be more real than feeling empty and corrupt, and in that sense, fantasies are actually higher reality than anything virtual. Virtue Signaling—The problem with virtue signaling is that ultimately virtue is precisely what justifies vice. But virtuous people pretend not to see it this way, thus it looks like elite evil that is only masquerading as virtue, thus it looks dishonest, thus it looks basically corrupt and evil. A lot of the time one may ask: why wouldn’t it translate as dogma? Or, why wouldn’t it translate as a beautiful woman? Then, it looks bad either way in both cases. If you want a beautiful woman, that’s prostitution, if you want a man, that’s homosexuality, if you support strong government that’s a dictatorship, if you support weak government people think you don’t stand up for the good guys when it counts, etc. Visual Language—While writing is useful for communication, even works like the Beitrage can in principle be communicated through Chinese or advanced painting. Vocabulary Innovators—Some philosophers are not primarily ‘vocabulary’ innovators, but rather concept innovators. In this classification, maximum damage would be either to revise a concept by Plato or to make a discovery outside philosophy. In this sense, the likelihood of an ethical innovation is small. This may suggest that the ethical and psychotic impulse are together what contributes to radical philosophy, here is the twist, including philosophy that could impact technology. VR, Dangers—If they turn too blue like I did once, then they may not have the energy to crawl to the sink to get a drink of water, and they may die. The existential problem of living inside a game: The problem with video games is it implies one’s real body is exposed to parasites and the environment, OR that one has no real body and no consciousness. ‘waldorff teaching’ —You have to take the wrong drug and deal with it. It can get a ‘little weird’. ‘andy warhol’—There are other brilliant people is definitely true. It’s clear he wished to have a lot of fun, I’m not sure what else he wanted in life. Wave Power—The inside information is it restricts sea lanes too much and can drift and detach from islands. A logistical nightmare too expensive to cope with. Wearable Technology—Wearable technology will probably be dead in 90 years because the middle class is gone, or it will have to do a significant thing for the brain non-invasively. The alternative is tragedy, or we will be forced to face the idea that wearables are not a movement. Weeding—On a good day, weeding feels like having a small head and too much hair. Usually, I think I’ll check my facebook sounds so much more sophisticated. Weird Beastiality — I feel lucky I’m not part dog or part horse. If sexual encounters were physical some women would probably have sex with animals as well as men, which suggests an attraction to those species. Simply because one person has never done so doesn’t mean that nobody has. I’m not saying it’s common place, my assumption is it’s fairly rare, but within large populations some weird things might happen. Sometimes men are more aware of weird sexuality than women, because women may treat things like masturbation passively or as a coping mechanism or ‘fling’ rather than a conscious ritual. In that context, it may be hard for women to believe in weirdness, because they see it all as an act of God. But men largely don’t. Men might not engage in this stuff because they have an appropriate concern they may get hurt. But for women, there may be some who would feel they wouldn’t feel much pain, for example, after childbirth, or when they already have a disease. Maybe I’m being inaccurate, but if so I don’t see any explanation other than seeing things too physically. But scientists think things are absolutely physical. Well of Souls—It’s dead. (The) West—You might be talking about California. But there’s not much to to be done about California. ‘They have internet’ as they say in San Jose. It’s not even an understatement. And it’s worse on the West Coast the higher up you go. ‘wheaties’—They’re like a bad idea of shit cursed with death. White Male Syndrome— A lot of white women would rather go for black or Asian guys than white men. I think this is because white men have kind of figured out how to be satisfied all alone without having big problems, but maybe I’m wrong. Whites, Prejudice Against— The Latino guy was still working there years after I lost my job. Maybe I was garbage, but that doesn’t mean they weren’t privileged. I was demoted and then fired when I started doing worse work, even though I was hired for an above-entry-level job. See, I’m supposed to call myself garbage and the black woman is supposed to buy a sports car, how is that fair? Well, she was my boss. But see, I feel like I’m the one being targeted, not the reverse. If it’s white people who are supposed to suffer, why me individually? Why not any number of other whites? I founded coherence theory and made videos of clever mechanical apparatuses. Why not the guy that works at mcDonald’s or the manager at k—mart? Why—Why is the world not a better place? Apparently because of some sort of magical curse which Christians deny. Wilde, Oscar—Maybe he liked to look at little paintings of clowns. Wisdom—Sometimes you might want to ask, “Okay, I’ve figure out X, Y, or Z but is that what the old philosopher means? And the answer is very often ‘No!’…” Wisdom, Savants—She was a woman, so she wasn’t wise goes the reasoning. The same could be said of philosophers. Philosophers are fools, so they are not wise. This is one of the reasons people look for the superhuman in a religious figure. Witches, African --- I live in a fairly good part of the U.S. but it doesn't help me feel super-healthy. Rumor is outside the U.S. no one really feels like anything at all, it's just like vibrant movies that fool you. When they convert from movies to eating spaghetti they might feel different about magic. Part of the bargain is not wanting to keep the power in some cases. This sounds like a case of too little too late. Not to offend anyone, but they might have the power to believe in cheesy novels saving African-American men from prison and making me butt-press my phone. Wittgenstein — I’m interested in real knowledge and this is correlated with how I’m not a logical positivist in the analytic sense… that does not mean it is impossible or an undesirable move to oppose the early Wittgenstein. Wittgenstein is like a shadow wagging a bush. If you take me literally you might think he’s occult, but that just leads to more botched metaphors. I think he’s probably overplayed given that technology could be more than just computers. Women—They’re kind of failing to like artistic men. Which seems like a bad sign, from a superficial God’s point of view because they could only be lesbians or whores at that point. Revision: When they act virtuous they feel like they’re denying the truth or have some type of secret agenda. Women, Virtuous—It was an attempt to be brutally honest and discerning, though perhaps a bit pessimistic and not involving much generosity or enthusiasm. If you believe in super-elites, fair games fair games but that gives me a bad feeling. To clarify, I don’t think women are gay men, I think they’re women. —What are the qualities of a virtuous woman, and how can I find one? World War II—Germans were very short in stature on average. Americans were not very fast with talking. English may have been a bit slow to execute orders but had great equipment, though the equipment was also very heavy. French were very good soldiers but a bit crazy at times. Japanese were a bit old-fashioned and had some out-dated equipment, but could be ingenious strategizers. Italians could scare people but tended to hold back from fighting. Wormholes— It may be more like whirlpools which occur under very rare conditions. Worship of devils— In my estimation devil worship doesn’t really help, I don’t see why anyone would think it makes a difference. Otherwise, it sounds like entropy central which isn’t like genius. Writers, Aristocratic— People who are wealthy and unproductive end up feeling like they are not doing enough to help society, the ‘liver on my sleeve’ feeling or feelings of anxiety. Therefore the aristocratic people who set out to be writers often ended up studying ethical thought or something like engineering or biology that seemed useful. Writing Across Disciplines—Beneficial I’d say, not always necessary. It could be very important for multi-disciplinary research, particularly in coherence theory, meta-linguistics, and applied anthropology, and to meta-disciplinary research and contemporary historical research in general. Some of the requirements to benefit from it however are polylinguism and possibly knowledge of Chinese or at least consistent progress in the arts. Younger Generation—There is a premium on ideas from people younger than 36 because whatever is left of ideas will eventually be realized by people that age and younger, within a number of decades, unless immortality is discovered. Youtube Monetization—Youtube is not worth money to most youtube users. I have over 100K views and have not made a cent from youtube. It’s not because I’m stupid, it’s because youtube is not set up for making money. Zombies—Do you think old people attack you, or kids wearing crutches? See what I mean? Pandemics are a bigger threat than zombies ever will be. You should have played that ‘impossible jane’ video game or whatever it was where there was a ‘virus outbreak’ and suddenly people would burp and explode. That was more serious because at least it was scary in a video game. NOTES: * Value of Moderation: Some say as far as good or bad it may be a self-fulfilling prophecy. * John Baez Crackpot Index: You might apply it to pretty much anything, so they’re pretty lucky when they don’t consider it. Though one might also say the crackpot index isn’t exactly science. See also: China, Advanced study: As far as advanced studies, the practice of Eastern and Western Medicine and the 4 Philosophies of India (Vedic Philosophy) are probably among the most popular things to study in all of history. POPULAR BEAUTIFUL WOMEN * ‘astar baby’: She was the 'the girl who was popular on facebook' like nightmares, at least that's what guys would think. * Gisele—This smashing lightbulb stuff has gone too far. Genius or not, she’s basically claiming she can make me masturbate. Maybe once that I remember, but actually I’m male and masturbation is fairly normal. And involves more than one woman. Not always women who want to see heads smashed in. She probably has an exaggerated personality, that’s probably what she’s proud of. * Isis: The change can be traced back to the Goddess Isis who appeared extraordinarily curvy but lived in the 2nd dimension. * Kiki Johnson: I’ll tell you what happens: she dies someone says.

Letter to My Dad Concerning Perpetual Motion and Weak Governments 2022–10–19

Nathan Coppedges Correspondence. Dear Dad, I was thinking about perpetual motion as usual when I found this possible pattern with marketing and industry: Real Efficiency * Exchangeable parts / industrialism * Assembly line production / modernism * Mass production / automation * Modular production / robots Digital Efficiency * News media / social anxiety * Mass media / social provocation * Web products / virtual reality * Media products / cybernetics Exponential Efficiency * Partial over-unity / (primitive) demonstrations * Full cycle / (intellectual) revolutions * Real products / strong institutions * Big products / weak governments --What kind of strategy are we going to do to extend the life of products? I know you think about a lot of stuff I was wondering what you think about black swans eventually creating weak governments in light of the above pattern? Is there any truth to this? Am I just wacko? In other news Spanish class seems to be going okay so with luck I may graduate within four years from now, though it may be possible they will block me for not having sufficient immunizations since my high school lost my records. ---Nathan Coppedge It may have somehow been a response to this diagram from this morning, posted at Genius Puzzles: … Attribute 8 seems to be correlated with perpetual motion, as '8' is the element number associated with perpetual motion. That category normally means immortality, but it can also mean pets and ageless processes. I guess realistically it doesn’t mean pets, however pets like cats are a rough match for what humans think immortality means.
