He remained silent for a long time and then said, “Which newspaper do you represent?” I told him I was a student and not a journalist, but he never answered my question.

Great Kant,

As a believer calls to his God, I call to you for help, for comfort, or for counsel to prepare me for death. Your writings prove that there is a future life. But as for this life, I have found nothing, nothing at all that could replace the good I have lost, for I loved someone who, in my eyes, encompassed within himself all that is worthwhile, so that I lived only for him, everything else was in comparison just rubbish, cheap trinkets. Well, I have offended this person, because of a long drawn out lie, which I have now disclosed to him, though there was nothing unfavourable to my character in it, I had no vice in my life that needed hiding. The lie was enough though, and his love vanished. As an honourable man, he doesn’t refuse me friendship. But that inner feeling that once, unbidden, led us to each other, is no more – oh my heart splinters into a thousand pieces! If I hadn’t read so much of your work I would certainly have put an end to my life. But the conclusion I had to draw from your theory stops me – it is wrong for me to die because my life is tormented, instead I’m supposed to live because of my being. Now put yourself in my place, and either damn me or comfort me. I’ve read the metaphysic of morals, and the categorical imperative, and it doesn’t help a bit. My reason abandons me just when I need it. Answer me, I implore you – or you won’t be acting in accordance with your own imperative.

[Anonymous No.11819424]

>>11819419
My vision is clear now. I feel that a vast emptiness extends inside me, and all around me—so that I almost find myself to be superfluous, unnecessary. Nothing attracts me. I’m tormented by a boredom that makes life intolerable. Don’t think me arrogant for saying this, but the demands of morality are too easy for me. I would eagerly do twice as much as they command. They only get their prestige from the attractiveness of sin, and it costs me almost no effort to resist that. […] I don’t study the natural sciences or the arts any more, since I don’t feel that I’m genius enough to extend them; and for myself, there’s no need to know them. I’m indifferent to everything that doesn’t bear on the categorical imperative, and my transcendental consciousness—although I’m all done with those thoughts too.

You can see, perhaps, why I only want one thing, namely to shorten this pointless life, a life which I am convinced will get neither better nor worse. If you consider that I am still young and that each day interests me only to the extent that it brings me closer to death, you can judge what a great benefactor you would be if you were to examine this question closely. I ask you, because my conception of morality is silent here, whereas it speaks decisively on all other matters. And if you cannot give me the answer I seek, I beg you to give me something that will get this intolerable emptiness out of my soul.

Even though I love philosophy and hate all the “dude what’s the point of philosophy science BTFOs it” posters, if this is true, it’s a good example of how philosophy doesn’t always apply to the real world. Philosophy develops your mind, can teach you how to think, but sometimes the mind isn’t always best in emotional matters. Sometimes you just gotta stop being autistic and have some commonsense and not meddle in other people’s lives.

Sure, the woman sounds like she already had something wrong with her, but it seems like Kant was letting his role as philosopher go to his head. A truly wise person would have seen that they were dealing with a dependent personality and the best response would have been none at all, to let them figure things out for themselves. “Sapere aude” — dare to think, instead of taking personal advice on everything from Kant.

My grandfather saw Wittgenstein at a grocery store in Los Angeles. He told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but he didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
He was taken aback, and all he could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting him off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of his face. He walked away and continued with his shopping, and he heard him chuckle as he walked off. When he came to pay for his stuff up front he saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at my grandpa. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

>But - and in this he is also following Weininger - it is clear that for most of the time when he talks of 'Jews' he is thinking of a particular racial group. Indeed, what is most shocking about Wittgenstein's remarks on Jewishness is his use of the language - indeed, the slogans - of racial anti-Semitism. The echo that really disturbs is not that of 'Sex and Character', but that of 'Mein Kampf'. Many of Hitler's most outrageous suggestions - his characterization of the Jew as a parasite 'who like a noxious bacillus keeps spreading as soon as a favorable medium invites him', his claim that the Jew's contribution to culture has been entirely derivative, that 'the Jew lacks those qualities which distinguish the races that are creative and hence culturally blessed', and, furthermore, that this contribution has been restricted to an *intellectual* refinement of another's culture ('since the Jew... was never in possession of a culture of his own, the foundations of his intellectual work were always provided by others') - this whole litany of lamentable nonsense finds a parallel in Wittgenstein's remarks of 1931.
Were they not written by Wittgenstein, many of his pronouncements on the nature of Jews would be understood as nothing more than the rantings of a fascist anti-Semite.
