Well, when you say something’s wrong with a question, the proper usage of it is to say that the burden of proof is on YOU, for starters. The question I asked was not grammatically incorrect, so…idk what you think is wrong with it. You tell me. What’s wrong with it? You think something’s wrong with it.
You’re just making stuff up man. Don’t say ‘burden of proof’. Just wipe it from your lexicon. You use it in the most incredibly bizarre way I’ve EVER seen. Just stop saying it altogether. That’s your best bet.
Idk why you quoted that and then said that, because I read the rest of the post and there was nothing in there that you could repeat that would answer what you think is wrong with it. Why don’t you just say what’s wrong with it? Why is that so hard? You saw the question, you saw something wrong with it, you said something’s wrong with it, that’s all fine and good. So what is it?
facepalm
Alright, so what we have is a question that has NOTHING wrong with it, and a guy who uses condescension and evasion to avoid answering it.
That’s fine dak. You’re afraid to demonstrate the sensibility of anything you’re saying, and I understand that fear, because you CAN’T demonstrate it, because it doesn’t make sense. I understand that. You’re trying to save face. Sure, that’s understandable. You’re not doing a good job, but I understand why you’re trying.
What he says is blatant nonsens, it contradicts our modern society that researches things we don’t know about, be it intellectual things, scientific things etc.
We break the walls of ignorence with our questions!
Drusuz:Speech can be interpreted (of the act of speaking in W's use) as a correlation with the act of defining. Speech is both definite, and indefinite. I think he meant to focus on the former.
I’d hate to agree with you drusus, and I’m not sure I do, but I’ve never liked that quote.
obe, would you say Wittgenstein is saying that he doesn’t appreciate poetry? Is he sort of saying something along the same lines as Wilde’s quote; “All art is quite useless.”?
