Replying to a comment on:

Dear M Foucault, or, How I knew our relationship was doomed (Sestina) by zodiac

Do you hold words so dear that you hold words – so? Dear, that do. Hold words so dear that you do words that do hold you so, dear – so dear. That you hold – Do words, dear, that do you. Hold words so that. Do you? (hold words?) So, dear.

First, Hume would win Wittgenstein any day of the week. Second, for you to go around trumping out miniature gushing guffs of adulation for Wittgenstein is as bulgingly ignorant as it is appallingly pretentious. Wittgenstein was a crazed loner whose only achievement, which was realising that nearly all questions in philosophy are steaming cornucopiae of bow'ls, was continually nullified by his inexplicable continuing engagement in philosophy.

Furthermore, to think about Wittgenstein's work is to expend hideous amounts of mental effort on a completely useless task. Anyone who is somehow proud of having tried to understand Wittgenstein is either being paid for it, or is so acutely aware of the total waste of time their life has been that they have to tell themselves it was incredibly fulfilling. Studying him as a requirement for a class is no excuse whatsoever.
