    Ironically, Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations touches on how thinkers often confuse themselves by slightly shifting the meanings of others’ words (like a game of telephone!) – and, you may have done that here, since he’s never framed language in the way you mentioned ( ꩜ . ꩜ ;).

    Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language. r/philosophy discussion

    Furthermore, in Tractatus (though he kind of discredited this book later in life), Wittgenstein argues

    What can be shown cannot be said

    as a weakness of propositional language (vs. e.g. pictorial language) – then, this is yet further against “language being at the center in intelligence”. (Stanford Plato discussion)

    Maybe you’re confusing him with someone else? :D

  • fool@programming.devtoAsklemmy@lemmy.ml•What music do you guys listen to when you're sad?

    I reserve some wordless music for when my sadness gets critical. That way, they always sound bittersweet without me listening them to death.

    • Lourié’s 5 Préludes Fragiles. Makes me feel aware of how easy I am to break at the moment, but also how pretty survivalism through fragility can be.
    • Ravel’s Pavane for a Dead Princess. It’s not about a dead princess, just one in the past, but it makes me feel like I’m that princess, rich and sad and stepping around in a bright, cream-beige ballroom. Instead of just solely sad.
    • Debussy’s Images. II. Hommage à Rameau. A quiet plaintiveness with occasionally rising energy helps me tend closer to neutrality.
    • Stanchinsky’s Prelude in the Lydian Mode. As the n-tuplets get desperate, I get desperate to fix everything. But then the curses stop and we return to a pretty but occasionally sickly quiet. The nonsenses are pinpricks in its floral thoughts.
    • Glinka/Balakirev’s The Lark. Reminds me that I’m fluttering, not just floundering.

    In any order, but I usually start with the Fragile Preludes (especially the middle few of the set). Lyrical songs are usually for higher energy/mood to me

    big-ass dragon.

    skate around on hot wheels, zip around the burj khalifa, blend in with humans.

    wear a beat-up rag in the desert and save a traveler.

    be mysterious at the soup kitchen. but an observant worker notices something’s off.

    live through a hundred calamities because eh, humanity will get through it.

    smash a wall with my big-ass human-form tail.

    eat 1500 drumsticks, sleep 80 hours, then fix the wall bc the landlord’s a nice lady and i don’t want to disquiet her.

    the soup kitchen friend is on to me.

    big-ass dragon.

    Hey guys, gals, and Jofans! It’s ya boy, Jofa, and we’re here with another video about how to use the ping command!

    So, today we’ll be teaching you about ping. But first, I want to apologize for my upload schedule. I’ve been having a lot of trouble lately, my bicycle broke down, I got a papercut, and my wife’s dad’s brother’s dog-walker-in-law crashed my divorce, but that’s a story for another time. Anyway, it’s time to start our… can you believe it? #500 Skill Videos. sips water That’s like a 500th anniversary of skills. Speaking of skills,

    Alright, enough rambling. Here’s how to use the ping command. Ping was invented by bucket makers when they realized dropping a coin in a bucket made a sound. ping… let’s see. Oops, typo. Anyway, that’s what it looks like!

    Random shit until 10:00
