Integrity Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 While a student at the Realschule, Wittgenstein was influenced by Austrian philosopher Otto Weininger's 1903 book Geschlecht und Charakter (Sex and Character). Weininger (1880–1903), who was also Jewish, argued that the concepts male and female exist only as Platonic forms, and that Jews tend to embody the platonic femininity. Whereas men are basically rational, women operate only at the level of their emotions and sexual organs. Jews, Weininger argued, are similar, saturated with femininity, with no sense of right and wrong, and no soul. Weininger argues that man must choose between his masculine and feminine sides, consciousness and unconsciousness, Platonic love and sexuality. Love and sexual desire stand in contradiction, and love between a woman and a man is therefore doomed to misery or immorality. The only life worth living is the spiritual one—to live as a woman or a Jew means one has no right to live at all; the choice is genius or death. Weininger committed suicide, shooting himself in 1903, shortly after publishing the book.[66] Many years later, as a professor at Cambridge, Wittgenstein distributed copies of Weininger's book to his bemused academic colleagues. He said that Weininger's arguments were wrong, but that it was the way they were wrong that was interesting.[67] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Alear Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) Oh and here's one existential comic strip that has Wittgenstein. http://existentialcomics.com/philosopher/Ludwig_Wittgenstein to live as a woman or a Jew means one has no right to live at all; the choice is genius or death. I agree with this, that is why I became a Jewish robot. Edited February 6, 2017 by Help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punished Dayni Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Definitely going to pick the world of Ice and Fire. Just, anywhere, it'd suck to live in Westeros, Essos or Southyros regardless of where. Never mind trying to live around Valyria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

euklyd Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 generally if they randomly ask me what my red flags are then I know something is up I'm a pretty good judge of character Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euklyd Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 ok actually if they start talking actual shit about a supposed friend behind their back that's a pretty fuckin massive red flag not "haha @Lord Raven is a total nerd can you believe he still plays ike in smash" or something, but like actual vicious shit, especially if it involves spilling secrets one would expect should be kept in confidence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
