Philosophy is fun. :-) Wittgenstein was, IIUC, one of the founders and leaders of analytic philosophy, which I personally had very little respect for since it essentially punted on the questions that philosophy has dealt with since it's creation; the "non-sense" you mention. Then, I ran across Angus Graham's writings on Zhuangzi (https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/zhuangzi/ https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/zhuangzi/). Zhuangzi was a better analytic philosopher than any of the modern analytics that I've seen.
