The younger (Tractatus) or the older Wittgenstein (Philosophical Investigations) - ? smirks...

How does that song go '...Wittgenstein was a berry swine, he could think you under the table...' -might have been Heidegger though...ahem.

For myself I wonder if bouncy bunny is contingent or necessary.
Philosophers have only interpreted the world - the point, however, is to change it. No it isn't ... maybe we should leave it alone for a while.

Well, s'funny you say that because by page 2 Bunny has gone, and Noisy Puppy turns his attention to Tortoise....

And I quote -
"Noisy Puppy wants Tortoise
to play, too, but Tortoise is very slow."

Slow. An appalling demonetization of the mental capability of Testudinidae if ever I heard it.

Oh man, word! Its 'gritty'. Have you read any of the other books available in this series Mark?

Doesn't look very good does it. Noisy Puppy would do well to reflect in a Cartesian way of looking at things I.e. I bark therefore I am. that it might be time to simply change.But then would it be too much of an existential crisis for the mutt because Descartes considered that all animals were mere machines anyway. Read on, perhaps there is more here that meets the eye. The younger Wittgenstein said something like , whereof I know not I cannot speak. I'll think on this for now.

Thank you for your help and insight MrI. I shall read further tonight. I need to prepare myself for this emotional rollercoaster.

I've searched the shelves here at chez moi, and even frantically I might add, but I don't seem to be able to find said book.

Any chance you might send it to me when you've finished?

The world looks so different after learning science. For example, trees are made of air, primarily. When they are burned, they go back to air, and in their flaming heat is released the flaming heat of the Sun which was bound in to convert air into tree.

That's because, like a mouse, she's a 3 dimensional projection of a multidimensional entity, and is thus geometrically stable. Except when she falls off the bed in the middle of the night.

Yep. Very similar to the 200W monoblocks, but using a simpler power supply and SO-264 output devices
