something cool i found out the other day: wittgenstein's brother, paul, was a concert pianist who lost his right arm in the first would war. he commissioned 3 piano concertos to be played entirely with the left hand from the composers Korngold, Ravel and Prokofiev. just though that this was super fascinating as i found about it while reading about ravel. i think its really neat that these people are connected like this. like it makes sense that they would be of course, but its still surprising for some reason.

I notice this increasing trend by, what i assume to be, Anti-Wittgenstein people that mock him by saying that he said he "solved philosophy"

HE NEVER SAID THAT

what he originally said is that he "dissolved" many problems in philosophy by concluding that they were not problems at all but ambiguities of language

but i guess its easier to just mock someone you never even read or even try to understand based on internet "quotes" that he allegedly said

I think they're referring to what he said about The Tractatus. He then changed his mind about it after having various conversations with other philosophers.

If anyone thinks that about Philosophical Investigations, as you say then they quite clearly haven't read it. He states in the preface that he hopes to inspire people to thoughts of their own with it.
