QUOTES EARLY JANUARY 2016

"Efficiency is modular 2 in all universal systems of logic that do not concern lies."
---Nathan Coppedge

"What ruins history is distractions." ---Nathan Coppedge

"The new variable becomes the new formalism in three-point logic." ---Nathan Coppedge

"In four-point logics, the product is five." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Possibility seems to pose a kind of materiality. Even if it is not probability." ---Nathan Coppedge

"It is clear enough that what Kant meant by transcendent was that something
belonged to someone's senses, the 'zero' of things, where what Kant meant
by empirically extended things was applications given  by extended
space or energy that does not belong distinctly to consciousness,
and what is meant of external is a conceptual thing unless it is real
in the same reason that all other things are real."

---Nathan Coppedge, Response to G.E. Moore's defense of 'things exist in space'.


"Logical atomism in the sense that Bertrand Russell meant it, was the density
of symbols, what I now call 'complexity'. This concept immediately
pre-figures the physical concept of black holes."

---Nathan Coppedge, Reaction to Bertrand Russell's Lecture on Logical Atomism.


"For every x = y, contrary to modern philosophers such as Putnam, it is not
necessary that x = y, because there could be some specialized property that
serves as evidence of a growing contradiction (relativistic semantics in
Einstein's sense). For example, x = y does not always implicate x = y, only
x = y under some condition. Therefore, there is nothing absolute about
x = y. The only absolute is absolute (x, y, z, etc.) or absolute x ~= y
(an unambiguous relation called an entity, a measurable non-relation called
a difference, an ambiguous degree called an application, or a condition of
absoluteness in which absoluteness can be unambiguously measured, such as
by containment, infinity, typology, or realism)."

---Nathan Coppedge, Reaction to Kripke's Identity and Necessity.


"Can a similar identity be different in an otherwise identical world illustrates determinism? No, because differences are determined by the will... There may be no difference between reason and the will, if the will can be determined, and will may be more significant at times than a given person's potential for reason..."

---Nathan Coppedge, tangent on Hilary Putnam's Meaning and Reference
(Putnam is a man BTW. Really. Check Wikipedia).


"People say I.Q. is paradise. But the corollary is disillusionment. With this insight, I could hypothesize that I was a brain-in-a-vat, beginning in the 1980's. My father, too, might be a brain in a vat. With this kind of interpretation, the first level is metaphysics."

---Nathan Coppedge


"Maybe is like mathematics. It's kind of difficult." ---Nathan Coppedge

Expressions that Actually Make Sense to Me Now

[Quotes by Nathan Coppedge]

"'God' 'Colophon' Is 'Monadology' (in Mathematics)."

"The answer to the sphinx's riddle of what is a paradoxical quantum might be the early Husserl."

"When it (time) changes, it cannot be dead."

"The upshot of the logic is that hell is always a convenience, because everyone is some kind of genius."

"The key to avoiding suffering is not to unreasonably raise the difficulty level. Difficulty is always a strategy, never a compromise."

"Maybe this is a variablistic form of the 4th dimension."

INSIGHTS PER RICHARD R.

I have come across a series of writings with relatively profound qualities. The work is by the nearly-anonymous Richard R. I will do my best to translate the sincere philosophical investigations of this person, who I take to be young and sincere in his pursuits of philosophy.

"Perhaps an understanding of sound could not come without an understanding of all senses." ---Richard R. [July 10 / 2015]

Each sense is a macrame of its sensibilia. ---Nathan Coppedge

"Thus, for sight there seems to be an immediate/non-immediate way of distributing the terms." ---Richard R. [July 10 / 2015]

If within is without, without is within ---Nathan Coppedge

"For any sound, one cannot create the sound themselves and even if they did they would already have to be an ounce or a sprinkle of forgetfulness in/with the thing, because if one can/could hear the thing then it must already be there.  For any sound then, the cause is completely lost." ---Richard R. [July 10 / 2015]

Sound is in some way psychic, is what one must conclude, to hear a symphony ---Nathan Coppedge

For Richard's information, the general method, if you have patience for it, has been:

Real jolts ---> Big jumps

"All sounds then are not sounds, but noises." ---Richard R. [July 10 / 2015]

Here, I agree. And (surprisingly) I have said the exact same thing already on Yahoo! Answers.

"So I don’t remember my alien mother or my alien father." ---Richard R. [July 4 / 2015]

We relatively exist ---Nathan Coppedge

"For this theory to work everything must be covered in guilt ... as it could always still have a memory of the thing but misidentify the thing itself, and yet still act with it through a misinterpretation that could exist as a misidentification but not as something that could use the thing differently then it was designed to be used..." ---Richard R. [July 9th, 2015]

Or, perhaps what he meant was that one must design a new purpose for the thing, e.g. metaphysics, which it did not originally have...

Overall, I give Richard R. high marks for his profound thoughts, many of them being ones I wished I had had myself (rather recently).

"Dimensional Jokes"

It's funny how far off these attempted jokes are from real humor...

Consciousness:
Boring jokes is a methodology is a joke in itself!

Critical Insight:
The world thrives on unwritten poems. But those who are not critics are sages

Mathematics:
The nth dimension of anything is its opposite in the nth dimension!
Women are at war in the second dimension!
They're sticking to their guns!

Distinctions:
It's not blowing a little, it's blowing a lot!
The wind is blowing, but the snow's not blowing!

Critiquing History or Analytics:
He was addressing what was wrong with himself.
That's really post-modern!
Yeah, it's post-modern in the most original sense!

Subtle Proofs / Subtil Proofs

1. Everyone could be on top of the world with perpetual motion.

2. Aliens share properties with us when they share reality, or have different properties with a different reality.

3. Ideas are beings when functions are ideas exclusively, if functions are beings.

4. Patterns form nations when nations are problems and problems divide forms.

The above were duly added to my future book project, The Epiphanic Wisdom.

Intermediate Insights: Thoughts Between Epiphany and the Commonsense

BOOK DESCRIPTION

This is a collection of thoughts noted for being quotidian. The prodigy here is to produce a plethora of categories, where normally we are accustomed to very few.

Adopting a method somewhere between epiphanic wisdom and everyday fact, the writing becomes challenging. In this case, it is only a challenging writing which merits the attention of readership. That is not to say that it is not eloquent or insightful… It is the quality of boring thoughts which help us think...

It is my aim that this book could be remembered in a similar light to Aristotle’s Scientific Observations on Nature.

In this book are hints of the Letters of Montaigne and the writings of Lichtenberg. However, efforts were made to be original, to the point of madness...

The title is now available in paperback and e-book formats from Amazon HERE. And I have decided to price the e-book cheaper than my other e-books, in case anyone is worried about that.
