Isn't an important part of the tractatus pointing out that people get tripped up by "is" having different meanings? I can't remember, it's been a long time.

- lisper 3y agoMaybe, I don't know. I haven't read the whole thing. Like I said, to me it is self-evident incoherent nonsense from the get-go, so it doesn't seem worth spending a lot of time on it. But I will point out that Bill Clinton is infamous for having made the same observation in a rather different context, so it's hard for me to imagine how this could be considered a deep insight.
