WITTGENSTEIN AS AN EXAMPLE OF THE INTELLECTUAL CONSEQUENCES OF VARIATIONS IN SEXUAL DIMORPHISM

I might like to add this idea to the Wittgenstein criticism:

His work (nominalism in general) is a further example of the tendency of feminine thought – an intellectual form of solipsism, in which meaning rather than emotions constitute reality.

When I make the exaggerated claim that ‘all jews are female’ I do so because this tendency to treat meaning as existential is dominant throughout jewish thought as engineering is dominant in western thought, and as emotion is dominant in female thought.

once you grasp this you can see the consistent pattern in jewish (feminine) cosmopolitan thought, in german (rationalist) thought, in anglo moral thought, and in american procedural thought, and in engineering versus religion in general.

This is why popper stumbled upon the idea (falsification) but failed – he was a verbalist. This is why Kant stumbled about the solution but failed – religious verbalism. This is why Locke/smith/hume stumbled upon but could not solve it – moralism. This is why jefferson stumbled on the solution but failed – legalism, …

We can’t escape our frames. Our cultural group evolutionary strategies are certainly programmed into us over time – the only question is how much of that programming has been reduced to genetics – or at least distributions of genetic preferences.

This is a profound problem. Which is why truthful speech is as important in philosophical, political and economic discourse as it is in the sciences.
