In what way was it shallow? I was simply hinting at a potential lineage of Wittgenstein's philosophy.

- dang 5y agoTo me (and not only to me) it looked like "<" meant "is less than", which would be a strange and flamebaity sort of putdown. If you meant "is derived from", that wasn't clear. It wouldn't have been flamebaity if you'd explained what you meant! In that case, though, you should have added something about why you think the lineage derives that way. (Side remark, not moderation-related: Wittgenstein read Schopenhauer as a young man but later rejected him as not a great thinker, so there's a certain burden of proof if you want to draw that line.)
