This only good resource I've found on wittgenstein in both english and french that makes it easily understandable.

So, this totally hit the mark, when I actually went back and listened to every part closely ! Sometimes I try and multi task, while your show is on, and that causes me to miss pertinent words. This had that “Eureka” moment for me, when I did listen again. I need to read his book ! All 75 pages of it ! Thank you again, Stephen !!!

"Funnier than a sandwich", my new favourite phrase.
Wow, I just realized I've heard all 98 podcast and never commented.
Thanks Stephen for an amazing work.

After listening to you for 3 years then seeing you with the cosmic sceptic, I can’t put your face with your voice. I visualised a crust professor in a taupe suit 😂 It won’t go away!! 😮

Great episode. I don't mind the infrequency as long as you keep doing good work like this.

[elijaguy]

Great! You are discussing a lot what a "game" is. Another good example would be: the traditional "This is not art"!

I see that language for describing the world is changing. But I see this changing just as our evolving process of understanding the world. Because the language used for mathematics, which is a virtual world which we created, is incredibly stable and precise.

[owenbowler]

Superb and clear presentation on the enigmatic Wittgenstein

The circumference of a circle is C=πD. πr² is for the Area

[olejohnsen]

I've been waiting for sooo long. Gonna enjoy this one.

[khanbahaderzk]

@9:40 Circumference of a circle is 2 pi R not pi r^2, that's the area.
Big fan of yours, keep the content coming!

shout out to my man Ludwig Wittgenstein and his language ocd. good episode, never not a fan

[Anonymous.android]

Just came straight to this from Joe Rogan. Looking forward to working my way through these:)

[davidblum]

Another great episode. My question or problem with the philosophy of language is aren't we assuming that every human in a specific community will assign the same or similar meaning to a word. How do we account for the idea that we are all different and visualize the world differently. How do we account for individuals different mental conditions? Is a person ill because they would describe a sunset differently then another person?
