No, I just found out about it today. No idea what's the whole thing about.

Does anyone know anything about this: http://forums.philosophyforums.com/ Under construction?

Then according to you I am being pretentious. Fine, then.

Oh, well. I don't mind either way.

No, but, it does apply to me too as ????????????? is trying to point out... As he has stated that I am a prime example to this matter.

So, the whole point seems to me to be that I am too being pretentious in my worshipping of Wittgenstien. Is that correct?

Sure, fire away.

It can be. When does the referencing stop and authentic philosophy begin though, to put another way?

Yes, please formalize it so I can better address this pertinent point.

Essentially, it means the process of internalization of philosophy into your being or self. I can't think of any other way to put it. Or the formation...

I don't know. I'm just tilting at windmills here. Don't mind me.

Good night, Thrasymachus.

Apologies on the internet, good one.

Cool, glad your not a bourgeois.

If it's such a fuss, I'm OK with aristocratic jokes. I learn, evolve, and adapt at breakneck speeds.

Aww, well no beer was had today. Maybe tomorrow.
