>it can at least come up with the questions worth discussing.

You mean it can come up with some fun word games.

It's like you guys didn't even read the Tractatus.

Cool language game, I bet you're going somewhere.

>Thinking in words
How's that thought limiter treatin' ya? Words are only for communication, scrub.

Wittgenstein pls go.

ITT: Wittgenstein general

There is a million Wittgenstein threads here a day. Why is he so important? I haven’t got into him yet (I started reading philosophy about 1 year ago).

For what little I have read about him on several intros, I have this feeling that he ruined philosophy. I think that the day I read him after dozens of books I'm going to regret all that reading.

Yes, sure, that makes sense.

But you've been misled by the picture we have of the ordinary usage of 'went from,' where we say things like 'I went from Coventry to Manchester.'

It doesn't necessarily imply the thing was present in one state before it came to another.

Drug addiction is taken to be the following of a kind of rule, where in fact every step consists of an open interpretation of that rule.

>arguing about what constitutes a game

I tried to tell you niggas.

That bitch is 100% certain related to Wittgenstein. Look at that soulful yet autistic gaze. It's eerily alike.

>there should be a problem
This is what non-quietists actually believe.

Why is Wittgensein not respected at all. It seems like he's babby's first philosopher.

I'll give YOU a rest, bitch nigga.

Anyone here think philosophy was the biggest mistake in the history of philosophy?

Hey boy,

Your dick is not a something, but it's not a nothing either.

Philosophy is arguing over semantics, silly tits.

>TFW you will never be as alpha or Wittgenstein or Kierkegaard

The standard reading of Wittgenstein is _wrong_. He never refuted the Tractatus, but merely supplemented it and provided elaboration on its earlier concepts.
