Why are these important? Is this a way of life?

I feel like rap and hip-hop are linguistically ludicrous. How relevant are they?

You’re making no sense at all. Try again, don’t be afraid to elaborate.

What's "this"?

Continental postmodernist retards took the idea and ran with it like a drunken fool. They tried to explain everything by it, failing to observe the irony that their own arbitrary constructed language game gives them no power to make categorical claims or regulate semantics outside its own sphere.

Wittgenstein originally viewed the concept as a useful way of thinking about how language and behavior are connected, how labels are associated with objects, and how that whole arrangement is given meaning by its social context. And he always thought of it as a method of analysis, not as some kind of metaphysical system consuming all reality that postmodernists made it out to be.

If i describe a bee as a bee it doesn't explain what that being actually is. It simplifies it to a single word/symbol. Language does not really describe the thing itself. This is obvious but people mistake the label given to be the actual thing

Ever heard of ludology? I've heard it's ludicrous.

The antecedent for "this" is the theory establishing the existence of language games. Is the theory of language games a way of life? Is he saying that meta-physics is a language game?
