How he fuck did he imply that?

Ironic that you accuse him of fallacious thinking while you yourself being oblivious to your own fallacious thinking.

Also, "genius" is not a psychoneurological condition as autism is, so your dichotomy is not only incorrect, but senseless.

I can't find the indepth description I read once but it basically amounts to Jefferson submits a first draft thats full of horrible handwriting and contradiction. When they start to edit it Jefferson starts sulking and it gets so bad that they send Franklin over to try and cheer him up.

I literally cannot stand the slighest deviation from these rules and will explode into long diatribes about virtue and liberty that nobody wants to hear.

Please excuse me. I couldn't help but notice that your definition of "god" differs wildly from my own. I am also of the belief that the Vatican is corrupt and therefore should not receive our support. I will now engage in petty squabbles so my vision of an abstract concept becomes the most relevant.

Not poster, but I did stumble across an article that is working from Simon Baron-Cohens theory of aspergers which basically states that they lack a theory of mind, i.e. cant comprehend that others think and feel differently than they do. From this they attempted to convey that the two main works of Wittgenstein was that his work on language was all to do because he was an autist which is more prominent in his Tractatus and slowly becomes undone in the PI. I came across it years ago, the article was quite brief, it didn't delve into his work too much either. Personally, I didn't fully agree with it because it seemed to want to make their own psychological theory subsume a philosophy which I think is a little more profound and intricate than they gave in the article. The idea that an individuals psychological disposition is always overwhelmingly present in their work would seem to imply that in order for that to be the case anyone who understands or appreciates with their work would also have to be a bit of an autist, which I don't think is the case. But make of that what you will.
