It is a despicable and fallacious method of discourse that once you have figured out that an argument is bulletproof, you then entirely ignore it and its supporting evidence and instead make personal attacks. I am a unmoved by your attempts at bullying because it means you are a coward and riddled with anxiety. If you can't speak to the argument, then you're not contributing anything of value. As Wittgenstein famously wrote, "whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent."

- Maursault 3y agoLook at the last two lines in this section: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_Wittgenstein#1920–1928:_Teaching,_the_Tractatus,_Haus_Wittgenstein https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_Wittgenstein#1920–1928:... Wittgenstein was referring to clarity, that anything that can be said can be stated clearly, and short of that, one can not speak. Boethius was saying something different, apparently revealing his loss of respect for someone by what they had said. Boethius was engaging in ad hominem, Wittgenstein in logic. Hope you see the difference.
