Hint of School Life of an Introvert, for those that are missing out...


I [be]came too weirdd[.e.]

NATHAN WAS

It was paid they were supposed to make money to find a girl and then they would date or get married in graduate school kind of fine wines I don't

Here is the building I used to pass walking to SCSU (recently I take the bus through the middle).


Strangely, I never attend the lectures held in that building. Well, I tried once and was bored out of my mind...

Sometimes I wonder if I've influenced the architecture of SCSU. For example, I did some drawings of buildings in high school that are similar. And, an architect once asked my opinion. I even caught the new library addition looking exactly like a drawing I showed the architect... But, it was only for a few days. then they took down the U-shaped boards that were leaning against the window and the building started to look more typical... just a computer lab with typical steel beams... and some stained-glass windows...

Golden Notebook has been updated...

This is a work of philosophy. A book of original, highly modified quotations.

Now featuring an additional page interpreting Immanuel Kant, in addition to the earlier sections on Lichtenberg, Locke, and Novalis.

Novalis in particular is remarkable, but in this interpretive format, so are the others.

Increased Google Search Rank!

39th for 'perpetual motion machines' currently on google objective search, supposedly! yay!

Slightly higher if I count the pages I contributed to...

For example, a quora.com question about perpetual motion (which has a higher rank), inventors.about.com (which has a higher rank), revolution-green.com (which has a lower rank featuring my article).

Not getting many results for people that own my artwork. SOMEONE SHOULD PUT SOMETHING ON THE INTERNET ABOUT HOW THEY OWN A NATHAN COPPEDGE!

SCANNING THE ARTWORK TO SHOW IT TO PEOPLE IS LEGAL!

Watershed day in minor Wikipedia results!

2 pages of 'Coppedge' results in multimedia on Wikipedia now! yay!

SEE RESULTS.


HOLY DEDUCTION 2


Only God is capable of the opinion that it IS God (genuinely).

So, God is not supposed to have horcruxes of himself in other people's brains.

Therefore, God is supposed to be a lonely God.

And, sanity is about settling the competing voices in your brain.

Which are not God, and therefore, can be settled.

There are two upshots of this:

1. If you think little (if people think you're an idiot) then think slightly more than usual, but less than people think you think.

2. If you think a lot, then chaos is the answer!

3. Or, be a lonely God.

SPECIAL TREATMENT

'Charged to win?'

'Well, if I don't win, can I take a vacation?'

Imagine if you can take a vacation instead!

Or, imagine that you are 'charged to win'!

Imagine that being 'charged to win' means the best thing happens!

And, taking a vacation means solving all problems!

Metaphorically, how does this not solve all problems?

For, in one sense, solving all problems is literally solving them---

In another case, problem-solving means the best-thing-happens.

GREAT LEAPS IN POETRY (GENERAL THEME)


"Give substance to a physic pause...
Nature's all-gnawing vice!..."

"Atoned to me internally...
That it was not wise..."

"Arranged to think of different things---
Snowing was not persons..."

"In the midst of summer was revealed...
An Ancient Jew upon a soccer field..."

"I grew more timely with the rhyme...
That overcame my mortal mind!..."

"The stranger sits as if to atone...
Thinking Paris is not Rome..."

"The wonderful world doesn't sing...
And tea makes music blissfully..."

"I stopped calling things eachother...
Patterns in my mind..."

"Admonished me the unloved year...
Would furnish wine..."

"A dusty surface extended in space...
The brashness of corsairs..."

"To learn to live and laugh and cry...
And then to play the lover or the fool..."

"Art dies...
When no crow flies..."

"To live to wake from matter and decay...
While the stream runs dry..."

"To humans, things fall in pairs...
A semblance of absurd..."

"A blizzard of wizards...
God's symmetrical absurd..."

"The immortal mind will understand...
While I die I am dead..."

"The air is full of miracles...
Like the shock of a wave..."

"This snakey truth imputes the human mind...
That matter is not reasonable..."

IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTION TO METAPHYSICS


Is 'X' happening? Someone could guarantee that it is happening rather cheaply, why not?

It is a different question whether two things are separate.

Are two things happening?

Well, we can ask, does that mean one thing isn't happening, or does it just mean something more complex is happening?

Or does it in fact mean we can reduce the criteria for one thing happening, sinc it now consists of less unified complexity, one argues (like 2 is the sq. rt. of 4)?

I find this last explanation most reasonable.

Evidently, something could be less unified without being less real.

And yet, the division retains an efficiency in explaining complexity.

Apparently, reality is efficient (un-unified or un-complex), or else necessarily real, in the sense of retaining complexity.

Now we can ask, is it s a potential universe? Perhaps only if its potential can be actualized. For example, as a thought experiment, we don't know that the universe is not perception.

It is unfair to treat the universe as necessarily ONLY objective, if the non-objective is what we supposedly perceive.

But, it seems more likely that the universe has potential where it can be actualized, than that it is either non-objective or objective specifically.

For, what tells us that it is necessarily one way and not another? That is like imposing a moral paradigm.

It is more like it just IS or ISN'T.

Now we reach the ultimate idea, that THE POTENTIAL IS THE ACTUAL.

The universe itself is undergoing EVOLUTION.

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

MY SAURKRAUT STORY: MICHAEL AND BRIAN CIRCA 1991


Michael is a PhD. in Political Science focusing on Democracy, and Brian is a child prodigy in computer programming and other subjects. Michael is Brian's father and mine.

Brian: "I just read an article about 'probiotics' supposedly you can kill bad bacteria by eating saurkraut."

Michael: "So, you're willing to eat saurkraut? Worth a shot, eh?"

Brian: "Yeah, I think I'll try some."

(Michael and Brian buy saurkraut. Brian tries some).

Brian: "My stomach just made a noise."

Michael: "That's the sound of the good guys losing!"

Brian: "I want to think the good guys won, even if it's the first time!"

Michael: "With anything entrenched like this, it's an uphill battle."

Brian: "I'm not saying it's efficient, I'm just saying they may have won!"

This last line was especially influential on my later interest in perpetual motion machines! Incidentally, I recently got the supposed news about saurkraut some 24 years later, and have decided to 'try some' (following Brian's vegetarian example)!

By the way, the entire time I was in the background saying nothing, and eventually only chirped in to say that I ate a lot of meat, and didn't want any saurkraut. Michael then commented to Brian that 'at least you're fighting the battle. Apparently, in Nathan's case, the bad guys have completely taken over!'.

Gradually Collected Quotes From Others About Morality / Ethics

"If, then, this civilization is to be saved, if it is not to be submerged by centuries of barbarism, but to secure the treasures of its inheritance on new and more stable foundations, there is indeed need for those now living fully to realize how far the decay has already progressed."

---Johan Huizinga (1872-1945), Dutch historian. In the Shadow of Tomorrow, ch. 1 (1936). Written as the clouds of WW II gathered.


"It is impossible to strive for the heroic life. The title of hero is bestowed by the survivors upon the fallen, who themselves know nothing of heroism."

---Johan Huizinga (1872-1945), Dutch historian. The Spirit of the Netherlands (1968).


"The things which can make life enjoyable remain the same. They are, now as before, reading, music, fine arts, travel, the enjoyment of nature, sports, fashion, social vanity (knightly orders, honorary offices, gatherings) and the intoxication of the senses."

---Johan Huizinga (1872-1945), Dutch historian. The Autumn of the Middle Ages, ch. 2 (1921, trans. 1995).

How to Make the World Immortal: https://hypercubics.blogspot.com/2015/09/how-to-make-world-immortal.html

Some of the best health advice I have received recently... (Nov 2015)

Things to cut out:

1. Certain fake breads (including Subway until recently, and possibly many other culprits, e.g. artificial usually non-whole-grain / instant-puffing bread)
2. Artificial sweeteners found in diet soda (200% weight gain with diet soda)
3. Coffee and sugar (caffeine and sugar contribute to yeast buildup in the stomach).
4. Alcohol (causes sugar cravings, leads to harmful bacteria resulting in weight gain).

Upshot: eat saurkraut without meat to improve probiotics. Yogurt is supposedly not as good. Otherwise, you need to buy some special pill.

I have cut out alcohol, coffee, and most artificial sweeteners, and have not indulged the fake bread much. However, I do drink caffeine in other forms, and have significant sugar intake. But, I have recently lost weight, which is good news for my probiotics!

Who knew plain saurkraut might be the key to weight loss? But, combined with a little exercise and other healthy foods, it probably is!
