The World Is All That Is the Case

[BidenPresident]

As he writes in the Tractatus, “even when all possible scientific questions have been answered, the problems of life remain completely untouched. Of course, there are then no questions left, and this itself is the answer.” Something Taoist about Wittgenstein, his utterances evocative of Lao Tzu’s contention in the Tao Te Ching that the “name that can be named is not the eternal name.”

With the Tractatus, Wittgenstein mounted the most audacious ars poetica, a book of verse written not in rhythm and meter but in logic, where the purpose was to show the futility of logic itself. “Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must remain silent;” its most famous line, and the entirety of the last chapter.

Unfortunately, I can't read BP's posts, but in perfect candor,

the thread title has me scratching my head.

Weird.

Still can't read it, BP.

But I'm sure that you're offering something profound. Good work.

The entire first chapter is only seven sentences, and can easily be arranged as a stanza read for its prosody just as easily as a logician can analyze it for rigor:

The world is all that is the case.

The world is the totality of facts, not of things.

The world is determined by the facts, and by their being all the facts.

For the totality of facts determines what is the case, and also whatever is not the case.

The facts in logical space are the world.

The world divides into facts.

Each item can be the case or not the case while everything else remains the same.

Doesn't take rocket science to realize those cross conditioned way beyond therapy Christiananality pedophilia mentalities resort to every form of tyranny over the mind of man evidenced as numerous thieving US Constitution - old glory - old testament - Declaration of Independence - absentee voting ballots arsonists avoidance in suicidal sociopsychopathilogical homicidal human farming rather than acceptance of the fabricated misnomer immaculate "Jesus the Christ" conception as more than a statistical improbability.
