>“I attended Wittgenstein's lectures [at Cambridge University], which were on the philosophical foundations of mathematics, in the Lent term of 1939….

>“…his dress was as simple as possible. He always wore light grey flannel trousers, a flannel shirt open at the throat, a woollen lumber jacket or a leather jacket. Out of doors, in wet weather, he wore a tweed cap and a tan raincoat. He nearly always walked with a light cane. One could not imagine Wittgenstein in a suit, necktie, or hat. His clothes, except the raincoat, were always extremely clean and his shoes polished. He was about five feet six inches in height and slender.

>five feet six inches

>the chaddiest philosopher of all time was also a gay manlet

Why is it that every single notable philosopher is a manlet? Why do you guys still pursue this subject and worship these losers again?

heidegger was a little fella too

...

fucking kek jesus christ

Heidegger is the guy in the white coat standing next to the child, right?

>frequently talks in front of large crowds
>dresses like an absolute pleb all the time

Didnt Wittgenstein sperge out and stop lecturing whenever a girl entered the room or am i thinking od somebody else? Hardly sounds like a Chad desu.

Yes, he would wait until they left or sit quiet not answering any questions directed at him.


I have a suspicion that 90% of these stories are pure fabrications or exaggerations.


Remember, this was early 20th century Britain just after the first world war and Wittgenstein (just before giving his money away) was one of the richest men in Europe.

So imagine you're some socialite or individual studying Philosophy at Cambridge on a regular English day and you are confronted with a guy who can barely speak English sperging out in a German accent who happens to be one of the richest men within thousands of miles.

Anyone would probably exaggerate but it's a very strange form of exaggeration which surrounds Wittgenstein. Almost as if the upper-class at Cambridge were all begging to have this guy to show off to their friends.

Everyone knows Witty was neurotic as fuck. Later in life, he cleaned the floors of his various dwellings by covering them with wet tea leaves and sweeping them up afterwards. Daily.

Witty served in the imperial German army in WWI

Everybody calling him a "Gay Manlet" is criminally and heinously stupid, and should probably report to their GP to be sterilized.

That's wrong, you moron. It was the Austro-Hungarian army because Wittgenstein was an Austrian.

>chaddiest
>hysterical pseudochristian wreck
yeah, maybe not

it just goes to show how beta all philosophers are

> all philosophers are beta
> he's never heard of Schopenhauer

Witty was a sperg, dude, get over it.
he was also a faggot and 5'6

This is like needing Turing to be straight, polite, and a good housekeeper.

>Schopenhauer
>not beta
Literally Ressentiment: The Philosopher

holy shit lmao

dude looks like mario

holy fucking kek
quick someone make a meme about this

To be fair, Char was a big guy.

for heidegger

Heidegger should get an award for being the philosopher who looks the most like a fucking hobbit, everything about this man screams he'd rather be sitting in a hill smoking his magic windy pipe, now there's the size question
