Thoughts from Wittgenstein
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Never stay up on the barren heights of cleverness, but come down into the green valleys of silliness.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Not every religion has to have St. Augustine's attitude to sex. Why even in our culture marriages are celebrated in a church, everyone present knows what is going to happen that night, but that doesn't prevent it being a religious ceremony.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Nothing is so difficult as not deceiving oneself.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Nowadays it is the fashion to emphasize the horrors of the last war. I didn't find it so horrible. There are just as horrible things happening all round us today, if only we had eyes to see them.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
One of the most misleading representational techniques in our language is the use of the word 'I.'
Ludwig Wittgenstein
One often makes a remark and only later sees how true it is.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Our greatest stupidities may be very wise.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Philosophy is like trying to open a safe with a combination lock: each little adjustment of the dials seems to achieve nothing, only when everything is in place does the door open.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Philosophy is not a theory but an activity.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Propositions show what they say: tautologies and contradictions show that they say nothing.
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Death threats at town-halls

The Truth of the Lies of Internment Camps
For the 8 years of the W Bush administration, left wing fringe hysteria told us Bush, Cheney, and Rove had big plans to put dissenters into internment camps. Now the right is saying the same of Obama. Maybe nothing important or big or scary ever really occurs anymore, and, as Baudrillard said, we now have reached the point of the "news of non-events".

Bush laid the groundwork for the coming anarchy
It was under 2 terms of W Bush that the groundwork was laid for what the right-wing and libertarian dissenters fear in Obama . How ironic, that what was dreaded under the Patriot Act, new forces of homeland security, and FEMA, now have an infrastructure in place which is causing an upwelling of Obama-paranoia.

NARTH , Gay Activists, Anti-Gays, and the Ex-Gay Penguins
With so much emphasis since the July discovery of the "gay" penguin couple which broke up when one of them "went straight", I wonder:
1. Why gay activists ever wanted to use a pair of penguins to make a point which ought to be less about biology, and more about human freedom.
2. Why gay activists thought they were "winning" when the penguins were displaying "gay" behavior, and why proponents of ex-gay therapy now feel that they themselves are "back on top". What if this is an illustration, not of "born that way" followed by "not born that way after all" - but of the Freudian model of bisexuality and fluidity of sex expression, which Paglia rightly proposed in the '90s?
