Episode

[@clickityclackity75]

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 !!!

[@Egoistic_girl]

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

[@Chimun1989]

"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.

[@FAHayekSays]

Simón Salgado I think he said "sound waves"

[@carlcarlsberg5900]

Words cannot express how good this episode is. :)

[@NINAD121]

Wow!! That was amazing way to end!! Beetle box! Loved it! Thank you for all your efforts!!

[@johnpaulaboud3818]

have my blunt rolled now lets go

[@the_vishalparihar]

Hey Stephen, you deserve more recognition for your efforts..thank you!

[@simonbarkley715]

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!! 😮

[@GopnikPanda]

Our teacher recommend this to us and so here I am!

[@supersearch]

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.

[@tidypeaches]

I'm glad another is up! Favorite podcast.

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

[@zachandsavvy]

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

[@owenbowler8616]

Superb and clear presentation on the enigmatic Wittgenstein

[@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!

[@danielcommins1285]

I noticed this too. Kinda took me out of the moment :/

[@yuvrajnaidu2221]

I just came to comments to see if someone had already commented this. 😅🤣

[@elijaguy]

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

[@olejohnsen2249]

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

[@mohammadmomani2330]

Where is part 2 ?

[@waterglas21]

Great but where is part two?

[@terrywallace5181]

What did he think about poetry?

[@elijaguy]

15:40 what does one mean by "the meaning of one's life"? I never understand it. What is the Meaning in this question. How and why should a life Mean anything?

[@keegster7167]

3:30 How to know if something is a good philosophical question?

[@ahmadnawaz6612]

This was awesome episode

[@davidblum292]

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?

[@christofeles63]

The limitations of language argument is a cop-out. You don't hear Plato, Plotinus, Spinoza or Hegel complain about it.

[@menocorde]

Why is the Ayn Rand episode not on KZbin?

[@Drunksiifu]

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

[@gabebraet8168]

I miss you, Mr. Steven West

[@eljimmer]

The circumference of a circle is 2(pi)r.

[@amitrofanov82]

Stephen has redefined it here, these are just words.

[@anonxnor]

Is there a Wittgenstein pt. 2? I can't find it

[@tommyhopkins6431]

Oi mate where's the next parts to this!

[@Anonymous.android]

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

[@Ffkslawlnkn]

So why are methaphysical question outside the scope if language according to wittgenstein? I'm afraid you didn't really explain that.

[@jonathanwebster7948]

Did anyone else notice that he said the circumference of a circle was pi r squared?

[@angusmcintosh1857]

Great stuff. But you miss a case relating to necessity and sufficiency. That a condition can also be necessary but not sufficient. Eg, having straight sides is a necessary condition for a triangle, but not a sufficient one. Not central to the argument but it itched a little when I heard your definition omit this case.

[@kenm2595]

Angus McIntosh my penis is necessary but not sufficient

[@whatspringislike]

great content!

[@elijaguy]

VitgenSHtain, my man!

[@AK47-666]

Game = something fun enjoyable and competitive

[@magnusprime10]

Technically, someone could derive joy from a business competition but that doesn’t make it a game. Not all games are fun all the time either

[@christopherkimball2264]

Wittgenstein is God

[@christinemartin63]

You know .... at times ... these philosophers sound like conmen, playing us.

[@logansonnenberg6824]

Just rips on Nicki Minaj. XD
