Recent Quotes (Early Sept 2015)

"All of potential dwells in some form of prosperity. Prosperity is the platform to maximize success. And, even where prosperity has been largely eliminated for a better paradigm, it is because the entire world has a kind of prosperity. Therefore, value little things, and make much of little. That is how to prosper, and make good things great. When good things are great, prosperity is observed by all." ---Nathan Coppedge, September 2015.


'''First, smokers deny, then they intellectualize. And, if smoking is so addictive, the topic of smoking is what we are generally left with when the subject is raised. Therefore, we are left with: ‘Don't ever say that smoking is an epidemic'. This must be literally true, even if its conclusions are false: I can see that it means that people never understand smoking, and it is better not to talk about it. The subject is nauseous, and its contents are immoral. I don't smoke, and second hand smoke is enough to make me part of the problem in perpetuating the idea that it is even a valid topic. At least a philosopher can call it a paradox and have it done with... Philosophers must be the most resistive to smoking...''' ---Nathan Coppedge, September 2015.



"Before every impression is fully-formed is a stage in which one may have a negative impression. It is difficult to overcome this mistake. Therefore, to overt the worst conclusions, all impressions should be positive, or concealed in sophistication or some other guise, which permits us to derive positive benefit from the material. One, the positive view, is the view of masters and children. The other, the sophisticated view, is the view of Plato's Academy. With licenses like these, history pivots on nothing more than applications." ---Nathan Coppedge, September 2015, Scientific Theories.



"[Contrary to expectations,] Everyone grasps the principle that illusion is against tolerance. The evidence is that most people are basically-minded or practically-minded, as a response to illusion, intolerance, or as a way of being tolerant in imitation of the great powers. If they do not obey these theories, they at least take them into account." ---Nathan Coppedge, tentatively for the High Art.

"It cannot be denied that metaphysics, at an advanced level, involves a variable of survival."---Nathan Coppedge, September 2015.



"Sometimes life is as incredible as myth. This is the threshold to cross if one wishes to be a madman who becomes a psychologist." ---Nathan Coppedge, September 2015.


"There is no limit to the number of paradises that can be housed under one system. But each paradise can provide for another. Thus, physical paradises lead to intellectual paradises. Economic paradises lead to energy paradises. Energy paradises create physical paradises. In this way, it is a self-sustaining cycle." ---Nathan Coppedge, September 2015, The Dimensional Politics Toolkit / Multi-Paradise Theory.


"Language is the agency of the will. Willpower in the proper sense is when language has physical authority." ---Nathan Coppedge, September 2015.

Quotes (End of July, 2015)

Updated with several more recent quotes from closer to the end of the month.

“Nothing is meaningless to the perpetual traveler”

"The formula of the known is not the same as the identity for change, although sometimes they swap operators while living amongst statues" ---Nathan Coppedge, July 2015. Related to higher-order logic.

"Identity, it strikes me, is to a huge degree an open-ended concept. There is nothing about identity which says that it does not oppose itself, or that it did not adopt some difficult obscurity for its realization. From this type of principle I arrive at the idea that identity is universally exceptional." ---Nathan Coppedge, The Dimensional Politics Toolkit

"Things like language proliferate, and with them, a wide variety of logics----or other, far more obscure terms. If we are too enmettled to realize this, at least it serves the value of our complexity." ---Nathan Coppedge, The Dimensional Subjectivity Toolkit. Duplicated in The Dimensional Anthropology Toolkit. Attributed to Posterity, a goddess.

"Concerning universal anthropology: To the dimensional sense of the person, the central motif appears to be satisfaction, or some variation on it. Species that do not develop satisfaction are purely logical, and easily manipulated." ----Nathan Coppedge, The Dimensional Anthropology Toolkit

"To trace the exact path, amongst so many promises, has a twinge of the animal. Until the hypothetical researcher realizes that the process concerns the immortal, the animal will be concerned with the researcher, without knowing she exists". ---Nathan Coppedge, July 2015

"In my experience, success is always about universalism." ---Nathan Coppedge

"A chain-of-events that makes a subject out of experience is still an objective application, where the experience consists of objects." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Perfectionism is the typical missing link for the history of dialectical critique, and ignoring it brings grave dangers of circuity." ----Nathan Coppedge, Genius Correspondences

"The blindness of God is merely the absence of a spiritual dimension of existence, which can be determined arbitrarily by the mere choice to pertain or not to pertain to the higher dimensions." ---Nathan Coppedge, Genius Correspondences

"Where politics does not realize paradise, artificial answers will continue to impinge."---Nathan Coppedge, Genius Correspondences

"The bounded Cartesian Coordinate System relates to Einstein’s relativity... [T]hat does not appear to reduce it to randomness --- but rather, democritization". ---Nathan Coppedge, Genius Correspondences

" 'What occurs when the symbolic boundary is crossed diagonally?' I have asked this question again and again, and the answer largely appears to be the emergence of a new system. While in other conceptualizations the result would be failure, I see no reason to believe that the other attempters gave any consideration to the just criteria" ---Nathan Coppedge, The Dimensional Metaphysics Toolkit

NEW QUOTES (July 1st - July 12th, 2015)

"It takes infinite variables to create an infinite universe. And when it comes down to it, some variables are not mere variables, but qualities, modes, and systems" ---Nathan Coppedge

"[On society:] I think it's a systemic failure. But the system is improving. People have been passing away too frequently to know that it improves. Recent psychology valued confidence and took improvement for granted. The result was pessimism". ---Nathan Coppedge

"I think different people have different needs. If they have the same needs, then they can be met by mass production". ---Nathan Coppedge

"A functional society can be provided resources easily with mass production. Where there is demand for services, because of robotics, there is demand for creative potential. Where there is no demand for services, then there is a guarantee that needs can be met. Therefore, whether or not there is a demand for services, there is some capacity to meet the need". ---Nathan Coppedge
