Explain yourselves...

Explain yourselves, how can you possibly claim to understand this guy when nobody agrees on anything he wrote and he himself disputed every interpretation while still alive?

I read that one chinese visual novel

Which one?

I don't, the only thing I understand is drug induced psychosis and cuckold fetishism

Writing is a means of communication. If you create a work that is understood by no one, that's a failure as a writer.

Is this a reference to ?

No

Then what? How is that relevant?

OP asked how I can claim to understand Wittgenstein. I stated that I don't, and then explained the only two things I claim to have any understanding of, however even now I consider that tenuous.

Curious... I hope I'm missing some kind of in-joke here. If not, thanks for the info.

I assume he means this, as it is indeed about Wittgenstein

I fapped to ''cuckold kiss'' videos on xhamster

never realized how cute he was maybe ill read him now

What's with the confessions?

Also the Steam page for that game is stupid. What you get on Steam is only the first chapter, with the porn censored. The uncensoring of the first chapter and the rest of the game is distributed through a free patch, since you can't distribute porn through Steam, and that game has tons of porn in it. The Steam page has an "Important Announcement" link that directs you to where you can get patch. Also the description of what the game is about is only for the first chapter. It's a horror game but you don't get any indication of that from the description.

Why would steam have that policy but allow pornographic content through free updates? They could just make things easier and just ask them not to put graphic content on the steam website itself...

Well the content isn't distributed through Steam. You download the patch through a different service, so apparently that makes it okay. There are a number of VNs on Steam that are distributed that way, though the porn patches are normally optional. For this game it's required though in order to access the full game.

Anytime, user, and feel free to partake in my wife

This is true, but also over generalized. Sometimes, the information you want to communicate can simply not be understood by the audience, and there is no way to repackage it to be more understandable that does not in some way corrupt, disrupt, confuse, or reduce the essential information of the idea (e.g. at a certain point of simplification, you aren't communicating the same idea anymore.)

I'm not arguing that this is the case with this man - I've never read his work - but you wouldn't say that Einstein was a poor writer in his treatises and theories simply because it takes an educated or reasonably intelligent person in mathematics and physics to truly grasp his ideas.

But, again, what you've said is fundamentally true. Failing to communicate your ideas means you either don't understand them as well as you believe, or you are simply bad at communicating.

SubaHibi is the height of literature.

Nobody understands him, they just like that he said "whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must remain silent" and that he wrote using an autistic numbering system.

I am literally the only person to understand him but I can't explain what he meant to you in words.

>understand

youre missing the point. the wrings of these people are tools, and tools are not something to 'understand' but to use in order to build your own understanding of your current situation, just like the one who devised the tool in question did. he is an example more than a guide.

of course academics dont get this cause they dont have any real need for such tools, and so they just focus on the literal meaning of the thing, to make a living out of it.

>he himself disputed every interpretation while still alive
and who is he to say that he is the authority on what he wrote? for what he wrote is merely a sequence of words, that has always existed (the possibility of those words to be written in that sequence has always existed, that is) so he is not the creator, but the discoverer of those thoughts (for nothing is ever truly created, everything flows, see heraclitus) hence, he is not the ultimate authority (in fact the ultimate authority is you, because meaning is not a property of an object, but is something that the observer--i.e. you--imposes over the object)

Dubious. He didn't claim he was proposing any tools, the tractatus basically ends with "the only winning move is not to play".

>We feel that even if all possible scientific questions be answered, the problems of life have still not been touched at all. Of course there is then no question left, and just this is the answer.

By that logic I can interpret your post as meaning the exact opposite of what you indented.

you ignoring everything he did after the war

>the flybottle quote

you are free to do so, and to believe otherwise is to be a meek slave

this should be a banner

this, also maybe shortly after finishing the work, MAYBE, but not after any time has passed lmao LMAO lmAO
ITS LIKE jk rowling going BUT I NEVER STATED HERMIONE GRANGER WAS NOT A NIGGER NOW DID I, or that dumbledore wasnt gay haha.

that is not true, because it's me who is the only person who really truly understands him I'm willing to fight for this

"Fuck Scott Fitzgerald." - Wittgenstein

¿¿¿qué quiso decir con esto???

this is a gay
GET THE FUCK OFF MY BOARD YO UFUCKING SUBHUMAN

>tfw he will never read Aristotle

Yes, free yourself from intellect and communication to become an unresponsive idiot. That is true freedom.

You first bitch :)

No, he's right. Wittgenstein asks a lot of questions and shows different approaches to similar problems, but he never shows you the answer or conclusion. It's true that he never spelled out "this is what I'm doing now" but it is how he operated. Like the Chekhov of analytic philosophy.

But user, that's not Muramasa

Why does she have a butters k in the front

k.. keep us posted

You need to understand the tool before you use it. You're getting autistic over nothing.

That's the point of philosophy, bucko.

you can only 'understand' it by using it, never before, in an abstract way.

I'd like to know more about this.
