"If I have sex, I want to be inventor of perpetual motion first." ---Nathan Coppedge
"True souls know other souls, and as such they are wise." ---Nathan Coppedge
"If it is impossible to have any history without a planet, light is the relative history of massive bodies. Immortality may be like a shortcircuit." ---Nathan Coppedge
"I invented perpetual motion, so it will eventually be built. Even if there is political chaos, there will be something to believe in that is not God, the devil, religion, or science." ---Nathan Coppedge
"If we insist that there is a problem, we will need a paradox. If we insist there is solvability, we will need triviality not-closed under consciousness." ---Nathan Coppedge, solution to the P versus NP problem
"In what I call meaningful semantics, problems are what is considered the most meaningful thing. There are some simple arguments which say the meaningful semantics is superficial: because all problems amount to philosophical problems, and philosophical problems are still problems, and the un-challenged life can be equally meaningful. Therefore, the meaningful semantics may not be necessary, and if its meaning is not necessary, maybe it is not meaningful. However, if it is necessary, it may be meaningful even if it does not pose a challenge, and perhaps it can be meaningful even if it is not necessary." ---Nathan Coppedge
"All my energy comes,from a lack of problems." ---Nathan Coppedge
"Intelligence that happens to be coherent is coherent just as the world that happens to be coherent is coherent. They can be well-qualified even if they are different, because they are different to begin with. And, this doesn't make them wrong, so long as they meet the criteria." ---Nathan Coppedge
"What is wrong is meeting the criteria of wrong, just as what is coherent is what meets the criteria of coherent. There is nothing that says meeting criteria is either simple or impossible. The only problem is a problem, and the only solution is a solution, and so on for any other thing. In this way we can qualify our terms. Experience is a measurement, a contextualization, but it is not proven to be anything but an experience, so clearly the only coherency proven to experience is a coherent experience, and it is unfair to ask for more without changing the terms." ---Nathan Coppedge
"Actually meeting criteria may be complex, but it need not be impossible." ---Nathan Coppedge
"[O]pen system... It doesn't mean that relative to our criteria a problem is not solvable, or that our solution cannot be qualified and measured." ---Nathan Coppedge
"If you can go halfway to happiness from depression, you can recover all the way."
"Paranormal people have tools to be realistic." ---Nathan Coppedge
"Much takes place after the invisible war with madness, and the refined distillation of impercunious meaning." ---Nathan Coppedge
"All that is required for imprecision is an art." ---Nathan Coppedge
"An attempt to be interesting without making many unnecessary assumptions. (10 words). By engaging in meaning, enchantment, and many other worthwhile qualities. (10 words). Leading to their appropriate justice and tranquil state of mind. (10 words)." ---Nathan Coppedge, response to 'In 10 words or more, what is life experience?'
"Rumor is: Someone smart is a snake. Someone clever tricks the snake. Someone brilliant invents the snake. Someone genius proves there is something better than the snake. And, a wise person is not tempted by the snake problem at all." ---Nathan Coppedge
"What is the perfect problem? The answer is the problem, the problem is the answer: immortality." ---Nathan Coppedge
"Basically, genius seems to be divided into artists, philosophers, mathematicians, physicists, and inventors." ---Nathan Coppedge
"Un-philosophical solutions do not have to be impractical problems. In other words, all problems should be philosophical." ---Nathan Coppedge
"All it takes is reasonable exaggeration and a little justified context." ---Nathan Coppedge, knowledge heuristic
"Original aesthetics or useful philosophy = big ideas." ---Nathan Coppedge
"Idealism is one qualification... And other qualifications must exist... The mind is a synthesis." ---Nathan Coppedge, Applicationist Critique of Berkeley
"Metaphysics allows the infinite soul to be humble, and to find meaning." ---Nathan Coppedge
"If something infinite is genius, it is a bit of a genius." ---Nathan Coppedge
"If life expectancy increases again, we can expect things like people who value immortality." ---Nathan Coppedge
"Physics doesn't always work unless it includes bad ideas... Perpetual motion might work." ---Nathan Coppedge
"A better idea is something more efficient or magical, which is just the two ends of information." ---Nathan Coppedge
