/lit/ - Literature

Always remember, anon. Your views are pretty much closer to Wittgenstein's views in such sense. But he was heavily misunderstood by his contemporaries and felt heavily frustrated by it.
Try to think about why did Wittgenstein turned his back and read Tagore to Vienna Circle members, when he felt deeply disturbed by their views.

Almost all discussions here or even in actual philosophy end up in the "Define X" territory, X being whatever subject discussed or debated.
But both because of human language and human nature it's highly impossible for 2 people to ever define X the same way.
Is there a way out of this?

If I read Wittgenstein am I gonna find the solution to this problem? Who should I read otherwise?

>Imagine being such a bugman that you'd rather read words shuffled around meaninglessly and shit out by a computer than anything written by another person.
There is no essential difference you stupid fucking nigger. It is an illusion. The word is ultimate and final. Understand the nature of language. It is a game; there are orders and there are rules. There is no visible difference; because there is nothing beyond the word. Thinking we won't be beat by the machines in writing is giving too much credit to humanity to the point of naivete.

You're retarded. You are literally just saying that anyone whose work you don't like are "bugmen", but so far you have done nothing to create a meaningful distinction between the works of a "bugman" and a writer. If there is any bugman around here, it can only be yourself, from how stupidly naive you are. Please do us all a favor and get your irritating ass out of here once and for all. You're proof that the internet is full of annoying, useless people; and your idiocy is the greatest proof of it. Kill yourself.

Now that my interest in philosophy led me to refute philosophy, what to do with my life? This motherfucker crushed my hopes and dreams.

a "women are dumb" thread. Read Otto Weininger and Schopenhauer's "On Women", nigger.

Why read literature when you can read "philosophy as therapy"? It's much more effective and intellectually-stimulating than reading novels. You get the best of both Worlds, the knowledge of philosophy and the entertainment value of literature and combine them into something truly beautiful.
