5.1361 "The events of the future cannot be inferred from those of the present.
Superstition is the belief in the causal nexus."

Isn't this what Hume argued?

>> No.9094297

Yes. Yes it is.

>What is true is the less spectacular "There is no causal nexus in logic to justify such an inference", as Hume also argued (and Leibniz, and Autrecourt, and Ockham).

>Whether "There is no causal nexus in reality to justify such an inference" is another problem, and it is simply false that the former entails the latter, since there is more to reality than logic alone.

>And it should also be remarked here that any empirical testing of propositions involves an assumption that what the propositions mean is in some sense invariant, and holds in the future when and where the propositions are tested by their empirical consequences, for only in that case are such verifications or falsifications as one finds relevant to the probability or credibility of the propositions from which they logically follow.

Yes. It is basically a list of notes compiled when reading through an intro to the history of philosophy.
Investigations is the book to read.

Wittgenstein was a legit Cultural Marxist and a true degenerate. His philosophy laid the base for postmodernism, cultural relativism, and political correcteness. The Wittgensteins were the most powerful Jew clan in Europe, second only in wealth to the Rothschilds. He spearheaded the rejection of enlightenment rationality for 'language games'. His gay lover Karl Popper was the author of a book called The Open Society and its enemies. Sounds familiar? That's the name of George Soros' foundation. It's basically the bible of globalism.
