Wittgenstein asks Russel : Will you tell me wether I am or not a complete idiot. If I am, I shall become an aeronaut. But if I am not, I shall become a philosopher.
Russel tells young Ludwig to write a paper on the topic of his choice during the holidays.
After having read a single sentence, Russel says : "No. You must not become an aeronaut."
Do you think Wittgenstein would have ever became an aeronaut ?

Logic is the greatest thing ever and if I could have logic-sex I would.
>>7422015
Fuck yeah logic

It's like you don't realize what happens to a man's voice by the time he reaches 90...
>>7422114
Was he this old ?
>>7422153
Yes
>>7421915
He certainly could have become an aeronautical engineer. He held a patent for a propellor that he designed while studying in Manchester.

I just watched this shit
I never thought of Wittgenstein this way, it's actually inspiring and critical of the world. It's like some Nietzche level understanding of the world if you think about it, but wrote in a much more compact and obscure way.
I got a new idea to write an essay.
>>7422802
This a good channel to follow?
>>7422617
It wasn't very good at what it was designed for.
>>7422815
Can you explain why? I don't understand engineering stuff.
That of which we cannot speak we must aeronaut.
>>7422802
What an awful ideologisation of Wittgenstein.
What was the sentence he read?
>>7423045
>This envelope contains a check for 100,000 pounds
>>7423062
I laughed.
>>7422931
