Souls of Analytical and Gestalt Psychology

Trees are green because they have a green purpose, or as part of a process. Trees are green because it says everything, or because truth is inaccessible. Trees are green because that is what works best, unless we're wrong. Trees are green to inspire us, or because trees are that way somehow.

The heart itself has its own reason that reason itself cannot understand.

Some objects have little or no mass.

When one visits another country, it is never authentic. Because authentic things never happen there.

A lot of belly-button lint. More and more. Endless streams. Endless belly-button lint. Disappointing belly-button lint.

First of all, if you have more extreme problems, consult a doctor, as I am not an expert and I don't want you to dislocate anything.

If it is not a zero-sum game, the results can sometimes be positive.

Things change when its no big deal.

I have thought considerably more than most about the psychological implications of a society that considers big ears—which are not even part of the brain—to be a sign of stupidity.

Because the context sucks → Because high standards were applied → Because its challenging → Because I have a soul.

The major doors that we know lead to greater simplicity.

Put to an incomplete arbitrarily complicated task, however, the brain can be very limited.

Either life is peaches, or you're doomed, or you don't understand psychology.

That, and many others.

Like whether a diabolical question can be more diabolical (I say no, by absolute definition).

Quotes Early July 2016

"The best explanation I have found for mental health disabilities is that they may be (or may not be) rhetorically justified." ---Nathan Coppedge


"If we are not creative, we will not get a good world, and yet creativity occurs without judgment." ---Nathan Coppedge


"I’m not sure there is a satisfying answer while we are unsatisfied. After all, only satisfaction is satisfying, just as only the quality of decisiveness is decisive. I call this relative absoluteness." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Paradoxical realism is the beginning of absolute realism." ---Nathan Coppedge


"Making people depressed should be the most elaborate thing, according to idealists, but the alternative suggests simple ways of coping." ---Nathan Coppedge


"Divination is like the evolution of sacrifice." ---Nathan Coppedge


"Sometimes I believe in artificial artificiality: every substance is plastic, so nothing is plastic. This seems to be one key to the fourth dimension: a universal standard of miscellaneous meaningful substances."

"Much of progress is catch-up from a different perspective" ---Nathan Coppedge, wisdom of the new ancients

"To die might be to live, if to die is to die! While I die I am dead." --- Nathan Coppedge, wisdom of the new ancients

"History withholds ALL of its secrets, except those designed for the present time."---Nathan Coppedge, wisdom of the new ancients

"If we do not argue that rationalism falls into coherent and incoherent categories, we are forced to adopt a non-relativist position, because we cannot argue for absolute (coherent) relativism, or subjective (incoherent) relativism. But, both coherence and incoherence render relativism in a trivial form. In coherence, relativism must be universal, contradicting multiplicity, and therefore existing in the form of measurement. Incoherence also measures relativism, although through irrationality. Thus, both uacceptable forms of relativism  consider it to be merely a form of measurement. Now the extension of relativism requires the extension of relativism's triviality, and this leads to no assumption of relativism in any major systematic category. The conclusion is that relativism is trivial."

TWO INTERPRETATIONS OF REASON

I don't know if it's worth winter so i don't know if it's worth a coca cola

I CROSSED THAT WAY AND THIS WAY UNTIL I MET A MAN

AcademicRoom (as opposed to Academia.edu) is not functioning today. So, to vent my frustration I am posting my recent paper here instead.

TWO INTERPRETATIONS OF REASON

I will begin with a description of what I mean by the development of reason. In this process, I will develop four categories, and relate how the descriptions imply two interpretations: one forwards, and another backwards. I will then explain the apparent paradox involved in this reason, and finally suggest a general method used in arriving at this useful double-comparison.

(1) Deux Interpretationes

What we know as reason is potentially just one stage of reason. I arrived at this idea by considering the question of: ‘What measures reason?’ And I thought, from a coherent perspective, the only thing that could measure reason was something outside of reason. And there could be nothing outside of reason except madness. But this raised a further question of ‘What is outside of madness?’And I thought this too could be solvable. The most obvious answer I could find was ‘Sanity’. Thus far three categories. Now, to round it out I attempted to add a fourth, responding to madness just as sanity responded to reason. And my answer for the fourth category was ‘Creativity’.

In this way, creativity became the ultimate bound of madness, just as sanity became the ultimate bound of reason.

The Four Categories are:

(1) Reason
(2) Madness
(3) Sanity
(4) Creativity

Now, developmentally, there are two interpretations (‘Deux Interpretationes’). One is that reason progresses into creativity. The other is the reverse: that creativity develops into reason. The distinction is important, because the difference developmentally seems to imply a priority for one or the other concept, or a reliance on either sanity or madness as a secondary runner-up concept.

So, now we have a second interpretation:

(1) Creativity
(2) Sanity
(3) Madness
(4) Reason

The second interpretation seems to put the emphasis on reason, but begins with creativity. The first interpretation puts the emphasis on creativity, but begins with reason.


(2) Paradox

Now, it may be further noted that reason appears to express the ‘ultimate’ embodiment of this set of data. In other words, all of the types are in some sense attempts at reason. Or, at least, reason is the simplest definition to use in place of any of the four, interpreted as I have interpreted them as translations of reason originally. However, in a similar way, creativity may be called an ‘empirical’ embodiment of the set of data.

Therefore, there is a conflict between the ultimate and the empirical, which amounts to a paradox. For, although the two concepts appear similar, the context places them separately as opposite alternatives. The choice appears to be between the two, even though they are the same.

If we are to prefer the empirical, we are left with creativity and abstract reason. If we choose the ultimate, we are left with nominalism, and end up groping for creativity to solve its significance.


(3) A General Method Derived from the Investigation

What may be called the ING Method may be derived most simply from the consideration of a set which reverses order, in which a double-horned dilemma emerges. The solution is always a choice between ultimates, and the ultimates are further made ambiguous by the ambiguous size of the set. Thus, there is a kind of criss-crossing between degrees of each extreme, and its relation to the central interpretation (a paradox).

ING may stand for ‘Inverse Negative Grouping’.

WHAT HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I TRIED TO BE A BILLIONAIRE?

(OR MILLIONAIRE, FOR THAT MATTER?)

I never had a job.

I lost weight.

I could feel myself diversifying.

And, I confess:

Nothing looked straight arrow anymore!

NATHAN COPPEDGE QUOTES FROM NOVEMBER PART 3

"Comfort is baby evolution." ---Nathan Coppedge (unless you know of someone else).

"What reprises the role of most organisms is their seemingly convoluted symbiosis: the way their attributes appear maximally aligned with local inhabitants. (Humans might accept volcanoes in the way some aliens accept spiky plants)." ---Nathan Coppedge, Scientific Theories

"Beyond a certain point, perfection is what we think about. But beyond that point, functionality is what we think about. And, beyond that, complexity is what we think about. Beyond that, coherency is what we think about."

"Suicide is the ultimate karma failure, judging pejoratively."

"Intuitive knowledge can be had by trusting the insights that have worked in the past, that still relate with the new." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Nothing that is conceivably causally connected is entirely a coincidence."---Nathan Coppedge

"The old intuition is young or wise, but it does not involve youth or wisdom." ---Nathan Coppedge

"There are some things that have to be done professionally before they really start to work. Perpetual motion might be one of them. Other examples are portrait painting and the manufacture of the best sorts of toys."

"If it cheats, it works! If it works, it cheats! But, to cheat, it must be authentic!"

"For every paradox, there is a paroxysm. For every problem there is a solution." ---Nathan Coppedge, Intellectual Themes Bk. 2

"A problem, such as a math problem, is a potentially solvable problem...When a problem fills up a certain amount of space, then at least conceptually, the solution lies OUTSIDE THE SPACE. That is why problems are solvable." ---Nathan Coppedge, Causal Necessity of Problems (Intellectual Themes Bk. 2)

"The existential question of the self leads to the existential question of the other." ---Nathan Coppedge, Intellectual Themes Bk. 2

"Life's ambiguities and arbitrations amount to complexities and efficiencies and other similar concepts, which, if they are not resolved in any other fashion, at least benefit by the occasional epiphany. Indeed, epiphany appears to be the key to understanding distant relations between objects and other entities. If it is not a sheer mess and an epiphany, then the tangle of various aspects of thought and existence could then amount to some type of paradigm, a platform or function which would be at least in terms of its value, self-containing. Beyond that point, we reach for the basic under-pinnings of consciousness." ----Nathan Coppedge, A Mass of Related Things [quoted in full from Intellectual Themes Bk. 2]

"Regarding the scientific community: sometimes I relinquish my thoughts to the idea that it requires their insight, their judgment, and their opinion. This is not a good feeling. I would like to emphasize that." ---Nathan Coppedge, Nov 2015

"[T]here may be many people that realize they are their own fathers who do not time-travel at all." ---Nathan Coppedge, Nov 2015, via Quora.com.

"[Concerning Hilbert's Infinite Hotel]: Since some of these variables concern the dimensions themselves, arguably there is no way to concern the data exclusively with lower-dimensional entities." ---Nathan Coppedge, Nov 2015, via Quora.com.

"A semantic theory of health holds that the reason that companies don’t hold standards is because some people don’t hold standards. Thus, poor standards are responsible for poor health." ---Nathan Coppedge, Scientific Theories


"Photography comes from nature. But we don't really have nature. That's where photography comes from. A metaphysician on the other hand, invents nature. A metaphysician is on firmer ground." ---Nathan Coppedge


"The universe seems to tell me: we like progress, but we think it needs to be justified." ---Nathan Coppedge


"Maybe I shouldn't give myself unto the raal" --- Nathan Coppedge, Gestalt question


"Some may find everything is found to be disappointing except immortality to the immortal." ---Nathan Coppedge


"Change: that's a wise conundrum! Surely not all we change are clothes!" ---Nathan Coppedge


"Limited perception rewards a paradigm of success or reduced obligation. A dimensional paradigm." ---Nathan Coppedge

"What most people mean by stochastic is 'stockistic'. The true meaning of stochastic involves systematic variation from a single starting-point. It is not the same as saying 'empirical' or 'empirically relevant'." ---Nathan Coppedge

Best Psychology Quotes by Nathan Coppedge

"If there is an ultimate secret, it may be called 'difficult' " ---The Perpetual Motion Genius' Guide for Intelligent Children

"The correct  approach is to find a variable which does not represent a set of assumptions at all, not a blind variable, or a test variable or an organic variable in the sense of clinical cases, but instead a variable that is dynamic enough to itself define some of the context of the analysis...First, the variable will be independent of a subject’s emotions. Second, it will be defined relatively to exist in any context that could be described---it is universal. Thirdly, there is some criterion for determining that it exists. It must exist as a hypothesis. Fourthly, and most importantly, the criteria that determine that it does not exist must instead determine that it is modified". ---Psychology of Negative Variablism

"Creative tests have the advantage that those that do not value the results may find the test to be a negligible contributor to their intellect, whereas those who value creativity may consider the tests to be encouraging and influential... This aspect might amount to a kind of double-blind quality evaluation". ---Debatable Vs. Debatability: Towards a Product-Based I.Q. Test

"Clearly psychology at this point exists in three senses, none of which relate to Freud or behaviorism: [1] Mental information, [2] Effective technologies, and [3] Thought-implementation. In these senses there is a new willingness, as a function of the dependence on computer interfaces, to express functionality explicitly by terms of words like ‘enhancement’, ‘technicalism’, and ‘artificial’. What’s more, these words no longer connote some aspect that is amalgamated ad hoc, as an exterior meaning to personality, doctoral authority, or functional identity. Indeed, more often than not it is seen as a skill or talent any time some aspect of identity DOES NOT depend on the technological". ---New Dimensions of Psychology and the Media

Introverted Developments / Private Projects

Immortal Poems is one of my slowest projects. I have about two or three (different from the Poems by God, because of subject matter). The emphasis for these pieces is realism and fulfilling the pieces-in-puzzle mentality in the quest or psychic prophecy of immortality, making them more difficult to write. The simple explanation is that they are more rare, and therefore more difficult to locate in my mind.

My Theses project, which inspired the 1-Page-Classics, is slowing down, although I have created three new folders showing further degrees of Theses, following different forms of standardization. These new folders do not have 1,600, but instead, 5 to 50 so far. Mostly titles, as before. Theses 2 has creative essay-type material, for example: "A Platform and Popularity: How to Market Recursive Typology" and "Place of Flowers: Bulbs of Power and Stamens of Knowledge." Theses 3 has pieces that fit the new classics standard, which is hard to describe. One example is "Salt of Peter" and another is "Terrestrians." Theses 4 has only elements which forgive a secret of the universe. Presently only "The Dance in the Ether," a piece which gives a kind of etherized feeling.

I have a project called The Footnotes which consists of diagrams (mostly flow-charts) which interpolate intellectual developments throughout history, and sometimes into the future.

I have another project called Old Ones that I may or may not publish, about cute sayings that I attribute to my unborn children.

The Dimensional Encyclopedia is in the process of developing. It is likely that I will eventually publish at a faster rate than one per year. The second volume is complete but won't be published until I receive my Kirkus review. I have intentionally put some challenging subjects along the path (phenomenology, mathematics) to keep the productivity even.
