“Nothing is so difficult as not deceiving oneself.” - Ludwig Wittgenstein

Strippers have taught me the truth of Wittgenstein.

I’m probably the only person here who has visited Wittgenstein’s grave in Cambridge. Seriously.

A few in this group prove that.

No, not you - those other guys.

Most common folk wisdom, like the Self-Reliance Ethic and the Work-Ethic are nothing more than self deception.
