@warholes25 how lonely that must feel

@warhols25 I agree, If Einstein, Dirac, Newton etc. were at the cellular level in a magnification analogous in regards to the great inquiries of life - then Ludwig is definitely way down at the fundamental sub-atomic level. The great Bertrand Russell was in absolute awe of this beautiful mind, I do believe the likes of Imannuel Kant to be of the same caliber however.

nice composition

[warhols25]

Every sentence ever uttered by this genius of a thinker seems to be the ultimate definition of the sad world we are thrown with coercive executive power of the absolute to live in. Unfortunately. Wittgenstein is beyond my doubt the single greatest mind of modern times. Probably the last one of such.

[MultiGalmeida]

"The sciences do not try to explain, they hardly even try to interpret, they mainly make models. By a model is meant a mathematical construct which, with the addition of certain verbal interpretations, describes observed phenomena. The justification of such a mathematical construct is solely and precisely that it is expected to work—that is, correctly to describe phenomena from a reasonably wide area."

Von Neumann, a great man
