"I don't think anything ABSOLUTELY ABSOLUTELY lacks perspective about anything else. Things are bound together by cause and effect, identity formation, and even by lack of interaction, and lack of identity." ---Nathan Coppedge

"I would like to say that lack of awareness about other things is ironically ultra-realistic." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Determined information--pure information--is the opposite of identity in reality terms." ---Nathan Coppedge

"There might be other perspectives than one's own, but they are likely to be needier, more technical, or involve different substances." ---Nathan Coppedge

"I think rather perspective is always a negative of identity." ---Nathan Coppedge

"The view that all modes of understanding are luxuries undercuts the entire inquiry." ---Nathan Coppedge

"We are fundamentally needy (universal), but cause and effect lead us to have an identity (something specific, in which assumptions are made) and that leads us to be technical, to see benefits in existence, and to have luxurious theories about what it all means. That is my thesis." ---Nathan Coppedge

"If identity were not necessary, it would also be a questionable luxury."---Nathan Coppedge

"Metaphysics might be explained as the plurality of physics." ---Nathan Coppedge

"'It's not supposed to be a big time-ripple. It's supposed to be a machine! And after it is a machine, it can be emotional! And after it is emotional it can be meaningful! And after it is meaningful it can be perfect! And after it is perfect it can be complex! And after it is complex it can be truly dimensional! And after it is truly dimensional, there can be universal metaphysics! At that point, if everything succeeds, problems will then be solutions, and solutions will be problems, or we will find something better than limits...'" ---Nathan Coppedge

"The 2-d reality expresses the nature of unqualified relation, represented by sensation or relevance. However, the implication of this, if it is that only philosophers are real, may be unacceptable, even if it provides an inroad for metaphysics." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Almost anything can come into existence through an exceptional law which simply states that it happens to be true by some authoritative definition. Without this rule natural law would be far more natural, and evolution would be a largely unnecessary exception." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Coherence does not need to be the only standard for objectivity, as any official standard --- indeed, even any perspective-- is no more than an application, even if in some cases it become desirable not to perceive what it is." ---Nathan Coppedge

"One of my early theories was that the majority of perception is a form of sophisticated blindness, or justified self-contradiction serving the purpose of exaggerating the preferences." ---Nathan Coppedge

"There is a choice between the nominal objectivity of objects, and the qualified objectivity of the senses." ---Nathan Coppedge

"The existence of the luxury platform explains how necessary exaggeration necessarily results in some type of validity, even if interpretation has not always found it's appropriate corollary in coherence." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Subjectivity is the power over the objective world, and objectivity is the power over the subjective world." ---Nathan Coppedge

https://www.poemhunter.com/quotations/famous.asp?people=Nathan%20Coppedge

Sunday the 19th of February I was almost held hostage

The location was the Starbucks near the headquarters for Skull & Bones:

I have been advertising that my art is worth more than a million dollars, even though it has never been appraised for more than $5 literally, and sold for a million only once, usually for less than $500 (not 500K, not even $5K, but sometimes literally five hundred dollars or usually more like three hundred, and sometimes I give away my work for free, even though one time I did sell for a million and gave the money back because I thought it was a loan).

Well, I was using my laptop in Starbucks when I heard the voice of a man off to my left.

The odd thing was, he said something threatening about plastic surgery, and then said he would kill me if I didn't "get in the van."

However, he said it so inaudibly, that because I hallucinate sometimes, I couldn't be sure he was there. I was too terrified to look him in the face.

A young woman said something about how threats weren't allowed in Starbucks.

Then I think a Starbucks staff member came over and said New Haven is police central, and if he did anything threatening whatsoever he's be dead in a minute.

No one ever talked to me, and I didn't look up from my laptop for several hours, so I was never quite sure that it happened.

But I did remember hearing two or three guys talking about abducting me one time when I got off the bus near the New Haven library. I thought about telling the police, but decided not to, because my mother always thinks I'm delusional.

My guess is the guy was arrested and tried to call his cronies at the tapped phone at the police department. If I'm psychic does that make me wrong? If I think about it does that mean nothing happened? Is this why you have to be in an 'in circle' to think my art is worth a million dollars?

Update: Starbucks has no record that anything illegal took place, so either they didn't hear what the guy was saying, or what happened was a delusion.

Quotes Early February 2017

"At least, if it means something better it will have a better standard of meaning." ---Nathan Coppedge

"I am inclined to think applied knowledge only happens in an imperfect world. Real life is philosophical and ideal." ---Nathan Coppedge

"The thought itself may be important." ---Nathan Coppedge

"My supposition is that a lot of theories are forgotten over the years. That is the theory I work with primarily in philosophy of physics. There is room for comprehensibility as long as we are willing to cross barriers." ---Nathan Coppedge, conversation with James Rose

"Wisdom is not best seen as limited, as it is only useful when it is possible. Wisdom may require exaggeration and significant experiences. Wisdom is generally not absolute, and it is not always those who consider themselves wise who are wise. The limit of wisdom is not usually comprehended, it may consist of the difference between the wise life and the life that is less wise. Neither life actually realizes its own limit, unless it has crossed the limit. The limit, therefore, is just a limit on interpreting wisdom after the fact. It is possible to be exceptionally wise in one thing through terrible sacrifice, or to make terrible sacrifices and do nothing particularly wise. Therefore, the limit of wisdom occurs after the fact. Sorry to disappoint, but much of wisdom occurs through realizing the freedom to be wise, and how good it is, if it is good at all." ---Nathan Coppedge

"For someone who lives an unwise life, but didn’t have a choice, then the limit is choice. For someone who lives an unwise life, but had a choice, the limit is the perception of wisdom. For someone who lives a wise life, but doesn’t have a choice, the limit again is choice. For someone who lives a wise life, but has a choice, there is no definite limit. Therefore, the limit of wisdom is the limit upon choice and the limit upon the perception of wisdom." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Objective knowledge can theoretically exist without relevance in an inhuman capacity. It’s structure can mean something even if it doesn’t mean something right now. But subjective knowledge is all about ‘now’ and finding relevance for it. Ideally, one has benefit for the other, but only in terms of values that actually exist. Destroying value destroys the connection between the subjective and objective world." ---Nathan Coppedge

"What I discovered is ideas only exist by a standard... The more we have a standard, the more we can know them." ---Nathan Coppedge

"The more real something is, the more acceptable are all of the many standards about it." ---Nathan Coppedge


"I like to call metaphysics the lemma of physics, just as physics is the lemma of science. Physics is important, so metaphysics is important, but metaphysics is easier. And physics is important, so science should be important, although that is actually an incorrect argument unless physics is actually coherent (which, so far as I know, it isn't as a discipline)." ---Nathan Coppedge

"I have been told the usage in omniscience is under the older root of 'to know or perceive' rather than meaning science, which seems unfortunate to me from the standpoint of technology." ---Nathan Coppedge

Laughing is Lucky, VS. Laughing to Death is Optimistic

The hidden psychological conflicts of perpetual motion.

That, and many others.

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

Up to 2 citations now!

Although at least one of these citations might be slightly dubious, at least they are enough to count on Google Scholar! One of them meets the H-Index criteria! Not bad for an undergrad, in my opinion!

Perpetual Motion in the News

Last thing I knew the deficit was $1.2 trillion, so this lower amount (by 500 billion) might spell perpetual motion, especially given the government's usual tendencies...!

Although recently I have learned in Economics class that a large part of federal debt is held by bondholders and corporations working for the government, and the government can basically adjust as it pleases, as long as it doesn't raise inflation or cause a lack of faith in the system. I shouldn't talk about that, though. The relationship with banks is fairly rational, based on the realities of checking and borrowing.

About America's lower Federal debt:

My Time-Travel Experience May be Turned Into a Movie!

The only thing is, I vaguely remember someone saying at some point (possibly to my Dad) that "he's stupid enough" and then I may have drank something on the scene of a movie set, so possibly I was drugged. Maybe my Dad agreed to include me in the movie because I'm mentally ill.

Someone did claim they were Jesus---it was a lot like someone who called themselves the devil in one of my prior lives. I might be okay with that if I'm not hurt. But there were other occasions that really seemed like time travel without drugs, like the time I was on an airplane and woke up to find my brother had a different haircut and looked younger.

It is also true that that book contains the same photo, although whether the book was published in 1974 is less clear. It seems to be a print-on-demand book that has had later editions. The book does claim at least that the photo is from 1917, and doesn't mention time-travel.

You can trust at least that I'm not in cahoots with them.

Quotes Late January 2017

"Two or three possible core approaches for politics to respond to ideas: 1. Respond to ideas by using them to benefit the consumers. 2. Constructively use them to benefit government. 3. Save the best systems for education." ---Nathan Coppedge


"To cause harm to other beings is to accept and revel in the imperfections of the world. Philosophers tend to be happy, because they feel wisdom is justified, and wisdom feels that happiness is justified." ---Nathan Coppedge, self-improvement advice

"Metaphysical continuum equals all physical dimensions. Position in existence may be arbitrated by a perspectival continuum." ---Nathan Coppedge


"Other dimensions have a number of ideal laws, equal to the number of corresponding perspective dimensions. So, for example, the 2nd dimension is ideal when it successfully realizes complexity and perfection, while the 1st dimension is ideal when it fully-realizes God. So far as the 3rd dimension goes, these previous dimensions are missed opportunities, which in a developmental model we already experienced. The goal of the current dimension is to realize the trinity of matter, energy, and meaning. The next opportunity (in the 4th dimension) is to realize universal information, creating properties such as time travel and immortality. The current trend is for metaphysics to improve at great expense." ---Nathan Coppedge


"In the fourth dimension, technology begins to be subsumed into nature. In the fifth dimension, the subsumption is absolutely one-degree complete."


"Sorry to burst your bubble, but in the future combat has diminished into ‘automatic operations’ to protect planets, community policing to prevent terrorism, and intellectual citizenship, which may involve virtual combat or not. My sense is that combat is a brief stage that lies between the state of nature and the state of economic modalities. After economics there is an intellectual stage." ---Nathan Coppedge


"Smooth out the initial impulse." ---Nathan Coppedge, guide for turning incandescence into meaning.


"I would rather be a philosopher and gamble on success, than be something else, and gamble on happiness. In my opinion, this is the more confident attitude, and the best road to take." ---Nathan Coppedge


"Many logics seem to amount to aesthetics, that is, they only work at a fundamental level." ---Nathan Coppedge


"The war of individuals, the war of everyone, leads to philosophy. In this way it may be seen that love is no more than understanding. Metaphysics comes with a modicum of virtue." ---Nathan Coppedge


"Virtue is the benefit of the doubt about sacrifice: it is humility, conformity, preservation, and grace." ---Nathan Coppedge

"It's one of those systems that's complete at step one. But numbers aren't typically systems." ---Nathan Coppedge


"Two degrees of perfection are what is  necessary to achieve aesthetic perfection." --Nathan Coppedge


"The aesthetic is real, but it is not predictive."---Nathan Coppedge


"Metaphysics and aesthetics are ideally co-variant." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Functions derived from qualities or functions are qualified functions. Systems derived from qualified functions are qualified systems." ---Nathan Coppedge

"You get a sensation of a quickly rotating wheel of categories." ---Nathan Coppedge, from The Creation of Time


"The decimal system is really a method for parsing infinity, not the only kind." ---Nathan Coppedge


"There's really not much of a difference between bad tastes and poison. Wine and certain gross foods are to be equally avoided." ---Nathan Coppedge


"The first goal of life is to convince yourself that you're unfair. The second goal is to reward yourself. The third goal is to apologize and be polite. The fourth goal is to go successfully insane. The fifth goal is to recover. The sixth goal is whatever remains."

"If something moves timelessly, it doesn’t take any time. Hence, timeless objects should be universal, so as not to require movement. If timeless objects are universal, physics itself should be universal.

Thus, creating universal physics might create universal objects, so as not to require movement, allowing instantaneous movement." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Brains are a new concept of substance that changes everything, and it is inevitable that they will get cheaper, that there will be ways of enjoying them from the outside, and some higher principle will emerge that represents the new paradigm of organism." ---Nathan Coppedge



"Religion is not so much necessary as 'usually desirable so far’." ---Nathan Coppedge



"After Babel, God translates as Many Gods. Math translates as Polymath. Rationality as Madness. Love as Hate." ---Nathan Coppedge



"That the universe ends contradicts evolution." ---Nathan Coppedge



"It's easier to posit pre-correlation than absoluteness. For what could posit absoluteness, except by positing a pre-correlative thing?" ---Nathan Coppedge



"We've done significant things for everyone living 60 to 120 years. The next bracket is 80 to 160 years, and then 90 to 180 years, etc." ---Nathan Coppedge



"Socrates. He is a standard to hold up, but there are also many other standards. Today it is safe to say that the Presocratics, even in a perfect formulation, are no more than a useful critical background..." ---Nathan Coppedge



"High-minded ‘excessive’ organization is a prerequisite for elaborate coherent knowledge." ---Nathan Coppedge


"At certain high levels of function, (there are) some benefits which cannot be had by rationality alone." ---Nathan Coppedge



"What is or becomes superb shall be made akin to the best known thing, with all due causation." ---Nathan Coppedge


"The lemma of functions becomes the degree of mastery of functions." ---Nathan Coppedge


"In my opinion all aspects of mathematics should be built into perfect, intuitive computer applications, and then people should move on to something new. In my mind mathematics is a very small part of logic, and ultimately less important than informal logic. The prestige of mathematics was given an early boost by the word ‘polymathy’. In my opinion today’s mathematics does not deserve that name. Informal logic is more imaginative, and less restrained by convention. For the moment mathematics is more believable, but that will not always be the case." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Finding meaning can be a matter of compulsion to a particular modality in which meaning can be found. It is not the only path. In fact, much of history as it has been portrayed to me has been devoted to solving critical problems, rather than finding something truly amazing. By this account society does not fully expect us to find a meaningful life. But it is virtuous enough to leave meaningful existence as an open possibility. If you feel compelled to find meaning, you are one of the lucky few who has a conscience about the meaning of life. And that may lead somewhere interesting and hopefully fulfilling. Don’t deny the possibility of meaning. Just try to make good on the meaning you can find. If life continues to improve forever, we’ll all find what we want, won’t we? It’s a pretty simple rule with some deep ramifications." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Unless there is a continuum or similarity between different dimensions of perception, there might be no way to evolve, and even no way to perceive." ---Nathan Coppedge

"The world is divided between 'universal' and 'definitions'. The senses may be an attempt for definitions to reach universals, and for universals to reach definitions." ---Nathan Coppedge

Coherent Laws of Physics

This has been posted on my primary blog at Quora for awhile. Anyway, I thought I'd post it here, since it has not been getting as much traction as I would like... Remember you can find links to both blogs, as well as many other materials by simply searching Google for 'nathancoppedge . com'

COHERENT LAWS OF PHYSICS

Relative absoluteness.

There are many functional objects, but some functions are TOTALS.

What is not a law, or chaos, or desired, or explained, is nothing.

Motion has a choice between choice and purpose. Motion without purpose is immortal.

Computation has a choice between conflict and universalism. The realization of computation is completeness.

What is absolutely neutral must be universal.

Zero is universal computation.

Exceptions define hierarchies.

Where exceptions apply, absolute complexity is defined by a law of non-existence.

Relativity of zero creates reality. Everything that can't not be relative creates reality.

Knowledge really IS structural, but only in a post-historical way.

When knowledge does not serve as a universal, does not have relevance, or does not serve as an explanation, it is false knowledge.
