>Decide to study philosophy
>Read Wittgensteins Tractus and Philosophical Investigations
>It's all made up and due to linguistic confusion, so I can ignore it and focus on other stuff
Thanks Wittgenstein

>Philosophy? I haven't heard about her

>F, tier
All of them.
Philosophy is garbage.

I've been looking at writers who were described as being on the spectrum.
Is there certain tells in someone's writing that they are on the spectrum? What do autistic authors usually do that other writers don't? What's the most common sign that a writer is on the spectrum?

>Uhh.. don't use fancy words please
Why?
>Because they hurt my fee-fees
How the fuck is this guy a philosopher?

Where do I start? Keep in mind I'm a brainlet.

>A serious and good philosophical work could be written consisting entirely of jokes.
Did anyone take up that challenge? Are there any humorous philosophical books?

Wittgenstein carried Tolstoy's The Gospel in Brief everywhere he went and recommended it to everyone he met. What would book would you choose?

I'm tired of metaphysics and trying to figure out what's the truth when in the end there's really no way to know. Are there some books that dismantle metaphysical theorizing?
Pic maybe related, I've seen him brought up alongside this subject.

What is your Bible? Wittgenstein discovered Tolstoy's The Gospel in Brief at a bookshop in Tarnów, and carried it everywhere, recommending it to anyone in distress, to the point where he became known to his fellow soldiers as "the man with the gospels".

Para mí es Ludovico José Juan Güitguensten.

I don't get it either

Is there, was there ever such a thing as a young, prodigy philosopher?
A great and-or brilliant work before 25, 23, 22, 20?

So why did he hit childrens and called most people he met as animals?

How do I know if I have potential in academic philosophy? I want to go to uni either for mathematics or philosophy, but I feel like I struggle way more with reading philosophy than I do working with mathematics, does this mean that its a bad idea for me to go on with my philosophy studies?

I got good grades in both mathematics and philosophy in my countries pre-uni schools, but that doesnt mean anything.

Would someone like Wittgenstein or Quine have an easy time to self-study philosophy, or would these greats feel discouragement too

It's his birthday
Say something nice about him

What prior works are necessary in order to understand fully Wittgenstein? I'm nearly done with Plato.

>open and start reading the Tratactus
>The general form of a proposition is the general form of a truth function, which is: [p, ξ, N(ξ)]
What does this mean? Any good logic textbook to understand this shit?

>born into immense wealth but donated his entire inheritance
>mastered all of mathematical logic as an undergraduate
>BTFO’d Bertrand Russell so hard he stopped doing philosophy
>volunteered for WW1, asked for the most dangerous front-line assignments possible
>had dozens of near-death experiences, winning multiple medals for valor
>wrote the TLP during the war, changing philosophy forever
>wrote the PI, BTFOing his previous works
>architect
>engineer
>gardener
>mystic
>virtuoso whistler, could whistle entire symphonies solely from memory
>invented the truth table
>invented the emoji
>knocked out a kid, went back to his village ten years later during a blizzard to apologize
>jabbed a fireplace poker in Karl Popper’s face
Find me a philosopher who was 1% as based as him, I fucking dare you.

Watch this, it's only 20 minutes, and you will never waste time thinking that metaphysicians and other angsty fags ever did anything except destroy the means of communication. They are all some kind of collective anti-midas that turns money into ignorance.
