Imagine you meet ludwig wittgenstein and that nigga just keeps twisting in his chair and slapping his knee the whole time, and refuses to talk to you at all about philosophy and just goes on and on about warner brothers cartoons

STOP PLAYING LANGUAGE GAMES

dude you have to confident in your autism like wittgenstein
ask the oriental girl if she would like to come to your house to hang out
when she gets there take her to your parent's back yard into the empty shed with two wooden stools in each corner and a bible on each stool
tell her that she will be spending the weekend reading with you
lock her in
feed her raw potatoes
if she talks or gives you any shit, box her ears or give her a good blow with a shovel
