Quotes Late November 2016

"As soon as we realize animals are conscious, we also realize humans don't want to become animals." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Time is not just one thing: that's relativity."---Nathan Coppedge

"Technology: consciousness, matter, structure, dimension."---Nathan Coppedge

"Secret cards: money, adrenaline, prestige, or secret knowledge."---Nathan Coppedge

"The point: the mote of meaning. The oval: perfection and complexity. The triangle: the potential that existed in the beginning or else the ideal case; the alternate imagination or the ideal that exists now; the ability to predict and manifest possibilities. The square: divination, critical theory, truth-objects-tools, intuition."---Nathan Coppedge

"Life is rare and exceptional... therefore, if something goes wrong, it is something wrong with the big picture."---Nathan Coppedge

"If they came from a mysterious, deserted place where nothing happened, then they believe God is a mysterious idea that fills up space."---Nathan Coppedge

"Understanding of social hierarchies: +1,000,000 If you eat buddha-eat candy."---Nathan Coppedge

"The Sun is a singularity."---Nathan Coppedge

"The beauty of nature might well be beautified."---a mysterium by Nathan Coppedge

"Causes are timeless, but have location within time." ---Nathan Coppedge


"Efficiency, although good, creates metaphorical waste." ---Nathan Coppedge

"I will reiterate what other writers have said, that if a writer loses dignity, everything desirable is lost, with the possible exception of a lingering, incoherent purpose, the duty of which is to find significance." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Complexity and perfection combined might permit the trellise of reality, the isometric hierarchy..." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Just as ants are not significant to ants, it is likely humans are not significant to humans." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Based on innocence, some of us are becoming what we are not. On the other hand, some are knowing what we are. We seem to be not so different from the place we live, growing wiser than we are." ---Nathan Coppedge, or someone wiser.

"The more you know about something specific, the more you hate poets. But the more you know about something general, the more you hate the scientists. All that is left of God is the poetry of the universe. All of this put together is the soul of worthless thoughts." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Good intentions are the finest information, and yet not universally legible. In this universe, much is based on giving gold to God. Anyone with conceit is forced to smash their own ideas, which tend to be great to the extent that they are conceited. Only humble philosophers survive! The aim of life, and at such a price!" ---Nathan Coppedge

"Philosophy is exactly like the matter of the universe!" ---Nathan Coppedge

"Most of my happiness is just the rain falling, balmy wind, or the smell of leaves, combined with a little philosophical meaning. I love it when my notes don’t get wet, and when the sky turns purple. Sometimes I feel like a wizard. I have found it is important, unfortunately, to keep all of this outside my head." ---Nathan Coppedge

Quotes Late October 2016

"When we are fully fulfilled, we will become fulfilling truths. It's a broken thought because it is so far away..." ---Nathan Coppedge


"Perhaps isometrically 3-d is flat, and 2-d is hyperbolic."---Nathan Coppedge


"Religion has emotional benefits when it is handled properly, but it never is." ---Nathan Coppedge


"My sense is philosophers are happier than average, because wisdom is something they want and it is part of the good life. Thus, they feel justified about seeking happiness, and thus they are more likely to attain it." ---Nathan Coppedge


"Nothing has infinite applications if there are infinite objects, the only problem being there are not infinite objects if there is also nothing. Hierarchies thus concern finitude or the absence of nothing." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Feelings are just the applications of consciousness to information… Fueled by the exclusion principle of eons of time… Perhaps." ---Nathan Coppedge


"We now consume aesthetics rather than the unknown." ---Nathan Coppedge, wisdom of the new ancients

"What does Nietzsche mean by saying: ' For the health of a single individual, a people, and a nation the un-historical and the historical are equally essential?' What is meant is that both phenomena and objectivity are idealizations of the world. So, Nietzsche is being anthropological. He is equating the reality of the world with two overlapping idealizations." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Some truths are made to be realized, and others are made to be designed." ---Nathan Coppedge


"Humans desire good outcomes, but they are either selfish or ignorant when it comes to solving problems." ---Nathan Coppedge


"Is there really free will? We are enslaved to our desires, otherwise no." ---Nathan Coppedge or else Sappho


"Do we choose what's best? Perhaps we do, if we prefer how far we go toward that end." ---Nathan Coppedge


"With conventional rationality, we don't know if it knows everything!" ---Nathan Coppedge


"The only way to be 100% original is to lack rational ideas. But the only way to be 100% rational is to lack original ideas." ---Nathan Coppedge or else Lewis Carroll or else Zeno of Elea or Protagoras



"In a sense, when looking at a black cat, religion looks for the implications of fear, science looks for the implications of excitement, and philosophy looks for the implications of bad luck." ---Nathan Coppedge


"Solutions cannot be solutions while solutions are problems and still be meaningful, hence these are the two worlds and the alternative is contradiction. The solution to paradoxes translates between the two worlds without coherent contradiction. But it is still fair to dismiss this strategy as a formalism. I deem that to be counter-productive." ---Nathan Coppedge


"I have found the more I think about my situation, the more manageable it is, regardless of how much money I actually earn." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Existence karma: if you suffer, you’re allowed to be superior. If you’re exceptional, the world improves." --- Nathan Coppedge


"Isometric consciousness is the view that the stars, for whatever reason, are small in significance. Everyone is safe with isometric consciousness so long as they do not commit to disaster. Isometric consciousness explains the transcendental axis. It is as committed to evolution as it is to rational privilege." ---Nathan Coppedge

Quotes Early October 2016

"Absolute determinism is incompatible with the preferences." ---Nathan Coppedge

"If free will is unregulated, then it must exist, because then free will can provide regulation." ---Nathan Coppedge

"I argue I'm great but not good. It is argued most philosophers are good, but not great." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Perhaps the ultimate standard of physics is individual. But if that is the case, the only laws would be laws about laws." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Time, a large metaphysical variable in the third dimension, rather than a dimension of space, is what is meant by aether, that is, it underrides physical laws." ---Nathan Coppedge

"The ultimate explanation is that reason, like any individual concept, is a small part of language, which is itself a small part of ultimate reality. For example, most parts of brain chemistry are not language unless they can be reduced to abstractions, and such may not be desurable with big thoughts. Whether all that reality will ultimately be achieved is another matter." ---Nathan Coppedge

"After all, if there is no truth, there is no standard of truth. And that means objectivity with or without a standard." ---Nathan Coppedge

Quotes Late September

"The sense of all-or-nothing importance is 1-d interacting with a 2-d world. The dialectic between confusion and confidence is 2-d interacting with a 3-d world. The sense of worthwhile being exists between the 4-d and 5-d world, but is sometimes borrowed in lower dimensions through self-concept." ---Nathan Coppedge

"For life to be well in the third dimension, it requires four things, if it does not require everything. Ben Franklin was right about the first three things: health, wealth, and happiness. But I would add a fourth thing: perpetual motion."---Nathan Coppedge

"Perpetual motion creates health, and knowledge creates wealth, and wealth creates knowledge, and health creates perpetual motion. Poor design, lack of power, lack of wisdom, and incoherence seem to be the alternatives." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Energy and perpetual energy are similar concepts, and we should not underestimate how much the first depends on the second." ---Nathan Coppedge

"I haven't quite built it but I have quite designed it." ---Nathan Coppedge, on perpetual motion

"Object-oriented philosophers sometimes see common properties as the nature of perception. Perceptions may be Democratic, and the most alien things may in fact be consciousness, or complete description." ---Nathan Coppedge

"In short, relevance may be the foundation of semantics, but it adds up to a foundation for formalism. In real life, however, formalism is rarely formal." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Some things are resolved by more-than-just-negative theories. For example, if fear solves everything in some qualified magical sense, then it is not just negative theories which can have subtle, paradoxical meanings." ---Nathan Coppedge

Quotes Early September 2016

"The seekers after perfection are in search of rarity, and they find prosperity."---Nathan Coppedge

"When the body vibrates with the harmonies, this is when one discovers anthropology. Math alone will only lead to socialization." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Abstract art is a model for the ideal garden, both organic and perfect."---Nathan Coppedge

"You may find the self is just a bunch of experiences interpreted creatively. The ideal of the human is to be a living idea, and we currently are no more than the function of a function. The function of a function must fulfill the life of an artist, or its role becomes over-simplified, and it fails as an idea, because it has become a representation"---Nathan Coppedge

"All we need is subjective food for all particles, and the universe runs itself."---Nathan Coppedge

"There are recursive history trees, and sometimes they dance!"---Nathan Coppedge (originally August 2001, was interrupted)

"The only good causes are values with standards for pleasure with meaning. The only good cause is meaningful. The only good is meaning."---Nathan Coppedge

"It is basic intelligence to realize the trickery of the world, and the sufficiency of fascination." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Good problems are keys to middle knowledge."---Nathan Coppedge

"Improved society involves greater visual complexity and a higher tolerance for perfection."---Nathan Coppedge

"Zen is like the philosophy of objects. Many logics seem to amount to aesthetics."---Nathan Coppedge

"Some things are true, and some things are false like incoherency." ---Nathan Coppedge

"You could say the cause is whatever created the sun, or whatever specific thing caused us to think THIS thought at this time. And so on endlessly until the causes aren't causes anymore." ---Nathan Coppedge, paraphrase of Aristotle from memory

"Aristotle is the only one who is the cause of causation. If one imagines the causeless cause, we get mythology. One can discover mythology by abnegating Aristotle." ---Nathan Coppedge

"It is only by the impossible standard that things begin to persist. Impossibility is an archaic standard of coherency." ---Nathan Coppedge

"What is probable can be actualized. Therefore energy force concerns mass." --Nathan Coppedge

"In all typical cases, self-possession lies between solitude and fame."--Nathan Coppedge

"In an expensive system, everything exotic = 2-d time." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Deduction tracks assumptions, and coherent deductions can be used to map knowledge."---Nathan Coppedge

QUOTES EARLY AUGUST 2016

"Pain is meaningless is my ironical conclusion... If it creates consciousness, you have to rename it bad treatment."---Nathan Coppedge

"At the fundamental level, beauty is pure perception or it is blind. Art is an attempt to realize perception. The perfect material art must be objective. Therefore, it is a genius responding to ugliness. Where there is ugliness by a high standard, there is a standard of art. Art, although it is the definition of beauty, is nothing but awareness of ugliness which precedes pure perception beyond all concepts of aesthetic doubtfulness. At that later stage, life is too functional to be beholden to any one standard of perfection. Art becomes critically one-dimensional."---Nathan Coppedge

"All knowledge is special unless it is limited."---Nathan Coppedge


"What is a solution to a paradox? If it has a solution, then it was not a paradox. So, where did the problem come from in the first-place? Apparently, there are two types of paradoxes, problematic ones and un-problematic ones... But problematic ones must demonstrate something, if they can't be resolved. Using this logic, I arrived at the idea that every paradox must also be a solution as well as a problem." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Philosophy of education is about as important to education as philosophy. Basically, however, it is about how to teach, and the kinds of packages of knowledge that are ideal for education. Sometimes, however, education fails by assuming knowledge packages are just as interesting as philosophy. In fact, they often aren't as interesting, and so, it becomes important to study the original spirit of philosophy, and the original spirit of a few of the greatest thinkers to determine what is important for students in the classroom." ---Nathan Coppedge

"When two series of ripples approach each other in a pond, it's not mathematics. Actually, it is mathematics up until the ripples touch, and then it goes up to four dimensions --- I was thinking about this thing Edmund Scarpa has said, and it occurred to me: everything comes to a head. Everything occurs in the mind. Maybe this is just Zen, but it is also like the meaning of life, or part of it." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Basically, my viewpoint on alternate universes is they may exist exclusively through a choice or rift, and the rifts tend to close, thus it tends to be only one universe... Basically, the universe tries to explain itself, because someone who travels to his or her own past has already seen himself or herself. There is an element of fate, even with free will." ---Nathan Coppedge

"The problem in not including (mass-energy)... is that there are cases where mass is not expressed as gravity, but can create heat. My premier example is a string stretched by a rolling weight. The rolling weight is set on a track, which causes the string to be horizontally taut, even if the weight does not move. The point is, the string might generate heat through vibrations, even if the mass does not move. Because the energy does not come from gravity in terms of motion, it must be mass energy." ---Nathan Coppedge


"If it weren't for the linear process of inquiry, perspective would be perplexion. Confusion and invention would be one and the same. Yet it is not beyond me to imagine that multiple linear processes might co-exist almost independently, like ants and beads of water. The common reality is born of different dimensions, this seems to be the penultimate of inquiry." ---Nathan Coppedge


“Determinism is belief in disasters. Free will is belief that our emotions have an effect. We’d rather believe in emotions than disasters, hence there’s free-will. Once again it is about preferences, whether they are immortal or temporal. The higher standard we set, the more likely we are going to be dissatisfied. But dissatisfaction is a fundamentally different problem than determination. Even free will can be a form of determination. Belief in absolute determinism ignores how unconcerned the majority of the universe is for our species, not least because other species may be concerned with their own suffering." ---Nathan Coppedge


"The elements of my relative absolutism incorporate similar thoughts to those had by F. F. Centore. It is possible I read his work by searching for one of the two terms he mentions. In my theory on the subject, which adopts relative absolutism as a knowledge system rather than an ethical system, there are several related conclusions: (1) Relativized relativism = absolutism, (2) A word, or a body, etc. are all adequate foundations for association about an idea, albeit with differing formalities, (3) There is a good for each thing defined for example, by the philosophy or idealism of the thing, which whatever it is, is the thing's capacity to be a concept, (4) There is a system for every true concept; where systems cannot be produced, this means that other concepts can be preferred; there appears to be a conflict between natural systems and philosophical systems that is resolved when philosophical nature is found." ---Nathan Coppedge, premier writings on ethics
