Tried reading that once. More of a declaration really, like the Ten Commandments. I suppose the Western Front might do that to one.
Vonnegut's edict was shorter: 'I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you different.'

- fourtrees 5y agoI basically agree (he enjoyed the Eastern Front too!). But don't the flaws of the Tractaus put you (all) off Wittgenstein entirely. His later work -- what he wrote when he wasn't in the life-threating midst of unimaginable suffering -- is much more normal in method of argumentation and much easier to digest. Some of it is downright enjoyable to read.
