Quotes March 2017

"Meaning is the only reason for desire." ---Nathan Coppedge

"We don't even know everything about everything. But I would say that's a starting point." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Practical virtues and philosophy are good supplements when complexity and perfection fail." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Maybe to be female is the materialization of the ultimate metaphysics. Maybe Aristotle's metaphysics was a simple calculus of womanhood." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Pain is a corruptor of value, while meaning is a natural duller of pain." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Sometimes I think everything generic is a god." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Sometimes I think that I am the first and last of all philosophers, not because I am necessarily the greatest of all possible ideas, but rather because most of the ideas did not come into existence, and I am the only one I know to provide a coherent standard for their reality. Not only that, but the standard was so difficult to create, and so late in arriving, that like Aristotle's logic, there will be little alternative to accepting the standard, or rejecting altogether the possibility of coherence. For me, philosophy begins and may even end with coherence. But for those that reject coherence there will also be other possible standards, but none is likely to be rigorous. Without coherence, in my view, philosophy lacks a standard." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Thankfulness is about superiority. Religion is for gods. Exceptions are the rule. The soul is real. Immortality is the first major mode." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Except for objectivity, good things would be better, and bad things would be worse." ---Nathan Coppedge

"An idea is what lies between qualities and properties." ---Nathan Coppedge

"It's a little bit like in any moment the poets are the only ones who don't curse." ---Nathan Coppedge


"Is it a better gamble that nothing has a principle, or that there IS some principle? But if something has principle, there is no reason to gamble." ---Nathan Coppedge

"There are those who argue it would take something of a revolution in optimism or completeness... to create a complete science, even if it were not understood by everyone. But it seems just as likely that it would." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Our sense of the significance of our lives, our priority for our own existence, is one of the most resilient things." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Aging is a strategy, so far as that is possible. People are always trying to do their best, and the only reason not to live a long life is essentially if knowledge is impossible, or if something else has higher priority." ---Nathan Coppedge

"When I gained some intuitions about calculus, I began to make my journey away from madness." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Do you really expect cheapness to be inefficient? Now, that's unreasonable!" ---Nathan Coppedge

"Efficient knowledge is possible. Perfect knowledge is possible. Coherent knowledge is possible. Generalized knowledge is possible. By this argument, complete generalized knowledge is possible by some standard. The standard doesn’t need to be very extreme. Consider that all you may need to understand is yourself —- “Know thyself” —- if you can reverse knowledge of yourself arguably you will understand everything else, because so long as you are yourself, all that you know must be in relation to that, and nothing else. If efficient, perfect, coherent, generalized knowledge is possible for you individually, then if you are perfect and know how to experience everything then you can have total knowledge." ---Nathan Coppedge

"I distinguish between two related terms: synergism and synergasm. I tend to prefer the second spelling. Basically, synergism means an act of synergy. Synergy can be defined many ways... A synergasm on the other hand is something that actively demonstrates genius. The interesting result it creates is ongoing in the mind of anyone who views it or thinks of it, etc." ---Nathan Coppedge

"I have simple experiments with contraptions made out of cardboard and sticks that have shown the following: 1. A marble can lift the same counterweight that lifted it, perhaps at no net loss of altitude (and certainly some gains during part of the motion). 2. A lever can lift a fixed fulcrum sideways using a second fulcrum at minimal loss of altitude, and gains in the base altitude. 3. In a very precise arrangement, a marble may be able to lift itself through a wedge-force created by momentum from a backboard. 4. A pendulum lever of a certain type with certain highly specific ratios can be made to rotate more than 360 degrees by a hard twist in spite of the resistance of the dangling mass. 5. A specific vertically-spirally-counterweighted-and-stopped pendulum may be made to swing naturally up to 408 times, considerably more than the predicted 160, although this may be the longer estimate." ---Nathan Coppedge

"If we get what we want, that is the maximal definition of free will. Desire is fulfilled, and free will is maximal. Or, We struggle, and there is some free will, insofar as we define our own desires. Or, Life is irrational because we cannot get our desires, including free will. Or, Another option is if the question of desire is meaningless, and there is no possibility of control." ---Nathan Coppedge

"The history of knowledge exists in epistemological space." ---Nathan Coppedge

"My instinct is to say that the more you expect to survive, the less you will be impressed by what happens." ---Nathan Coppedge

"The assumption of 'then' is just as bad as Hume's Arrow... for how are we going to get cause and effect without the concept of cause and effect?... If there is a better system we will need reason to believe it is better than Aristotle's." ---Nathan Coppedge

"If there is a failure of knowledge, there is probably a failure of real ideas." ---Nathan Coppedge

"I have been considering 3-reactions as a solution to the Abraham-Minkowski controversy, and this may suggest that complex reactions, e.g. 4-reactions, 5-reactions etc could be used to codify certain types of (specifically “mysterious”) data that doesn't require physical reactions, or that might not even require the same type of codification. Another way would be to get one qubit (?) to entangle with many particles simultaneously, and somehow read what the particle ISN'T. Another method is to generalize the types of logical results you get with qubits, and encode them logically instead. Finally, you could try to find a particularly logical particle or reaction, and encode for particular types of outcomes." ---Nathan Coppedge

"Within the 3rd dimension, Divine Art (3-d metaphysical creation) and Diabolical Science (3-d yogis) were the previous alternatives to Longevity Evolution (ideal survival). Evolution subtly implies the failure of God and demons, and either the success of ideal survival or the incrementation into the 4th dimension." ---Nathan Coppedge

(Sorry for the comment about rum. Apparently my account had been hacked, either that or it was a really bad spell check program. At any rate, I am not even alcoholic, so the comment made no sense).

"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.
