I used to read a lot but Andrew got me thinking, why am I reading symbols on dead paper. To learn? You forget most things you read anyways. For entertainment? I'd rather lift weights or drink.

I feel like Wittgenstein before he met Russel, like Kant before he read Hume, like Nietzsche before he tried to kill the Pope.
Where and who should I go to--nowadays--to formalise my schizoid writings?

Is there any consensus on who Wittgenstein is quoting and responding to in Philosophical Investigations? Is it a specific person or just a generic Logical Positivist? Or is it more general than that?

Also thread for discussion and questions about Wittgenstein

I know there are already a few threads about him but:
>One could say of Schopenhauer that he never searches inside himself.
Anyone who has read both of them, what did he mean by this? Schopenhauer quite literally searches "inside himself."

So here's how the progression of modern philosophy goes. Hube btfo Descartes, Kant btfo Hume, Hegel btfo Kant. But who btfo Hegel?

Wittgenstein was famously not well-read, right?

I tried googling and couldn't find confirmation of this. But I've definitely read this somewhere.

>"He [Wittgenstein] was forever changed after encountering the Darwinian theories in his later education (just then coming into vogue amongst the scientific community as the settled paradigm). "Monkeys! Can you believe it?" He would rapturously declare, "We were all once little monkeys in the trees!" and he would then proceed to make monkey sounds while scratching at his armpits. It disturbed my wife, and I thought it prudent never to reveal to her the more eccentric behavior of his that took place in his classrooms at Cambridge. There he was a menace to all his students, at on point going so far as to come to class stark naked with coil of rope partly inserted in his anus so as to imitate a tail. He swung from the desks and rafters and asserted, "No no! There is no shame! No shame at all! This is what we are--free and happy little monkeys! Monkeys without shame!"

the other thing that comes to mind is that perhaps there is as much of pic rel in Land's concept of BTC as there is Kant. maybe the Landian AI/BTC daimon winds up looking, and sounding, very much like this. if the only thing that Artificial Synthetic Kantian Time is interested in is Truth, then two possibilities occur:

a) the Truth is there, and is always-already spoken;
b) the Truth is not there, in which case you should be silent until you find it.

such may well be the fate of a BTC truth-engine. if the Mmachine is working, you will know it by the absence of talking about whether or not the machine is working; if the machine is not working, anything at all which posits itself as a critique is only another indication of the fact that the machine is not working, since critiques of the machine are aspects of its failure. if the machine were working, there would be no critique, and nothing would be said, or spoken, to give an indication that the machine was working. its silence is the indication of is functionality.

something like this.

Want to get into post-modernism.
Which books to read, what are they arguments and what are the arguments against them.

Pic unrelated.

>Russell’s books should be bound in two colours…those dealing with mathematical logic in red – and all students of philosophy should read them; those dealing with ethics and politics in blue – and no one should be allowed to read them.
