wittgenstein the marxologist explaining that the money-commodity also has an exchange-value and a use-value.... waow

120. You say: the point isn't the word, but its meaning, and you think of the meaning as a thing of the same kind as the word, though also different from the word. Here the word, there the meaning. The money, and the cow that you can buy with it. (But contrast: money, and its use.)

@kasey.cafe what do you think of the idea that the concept of 'number' is a sum of other concepts (for some reason this is pretty amusing to me)

68. "All right: the concept of number is defined for you as the logical sum of these individual interrelated concepts: cardinal numbers, rational numbers, real numbers, etc.; and in the same way the concept of a game as the logical sum of a corresponding set of sub-concepts.

Which is to say I want to have my cake and eat it too, and disagree with Geuss here. I think W is most generatively interpreted as speaking to a distinct context from adorno with his conception of innocence in the everyday. www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1Ay...

Raymond Geuss, Utopian Thought Between Words and Action

But you are also right that I tend to be on one side rather than the other of the great philosophical divide about everyday life and common language. Which is, there’s, roughly speaking, the late Wittgenstein and there is, roughly speaking, Adorno. The late Wittgenstein says (it’s a bit of exaggeration, but he says): philosophy changes nothing, it leaves everything as it was, everyday language is fine the way it is, it only becomes toxic when we begin to reflect and make these philosophical constructs; philosophy is just therapy, getting rid of these things, and then everything will be fine. My association with that is that Wittgenstein has this idea that there is this Heile Welt, the healthy world, ‘zdravi svet’, the romantic notion – the Heile Welt is everyday language. The other side is Adorno, which is that if societies really are totalities, and if there is something deeply wrong with our society – he thinks that what’s deeply wrong is something about the dis-relation between the possibilities that we have and what we make of these possibilities. For Adorno, the main instance of the evil of the world is the phenomenon of California. California shows why the world is evil, because it has wonderful possibilities and has been made into an inferno by human use of these possibilities. There is nothing wrong with starving in the Middle Ages, because, to some extent, you couldn’t do anything about it. But there’s a lot wrong with starving in the modern world, because we could do something about it and we don’t. So it’s that dis- crepancy between wollen and können. And if you think that societies are totalities, then that evil permeates the whole of the world, there is no innocent thing. Even everyday interactions are the reverse of innocent. And I must say that you can’t hold those two views at the same time, they are just not compatible. I just think Adorno is more likely to be right about that, and that we mus…

that's my goat 🥹

like i have my criticisms for ordinary language philosophy but tell me this doesn't go hard

109. Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language.

42. But has for instance a name which has never been used for a tool also got a meaning in that game?—Let us assume that "X" is such a sign and that A gives this sign to B—well, even such signs could be given a place in the language-game, and B might have, say, to answer them too with a shake of the head. (One could imagine this as a sort of joke between them.)

this is how kasey spawned actually

52. IfI am inclined to suppose that a mouse has come into being by spontaneous generation out of grey rags and dust, I shall do well to examine those rags very closely to see how a mouse may have hidden in them, how it may have got there and so on. But if I am convinced that a mouse cannot come into being from these things, then this investigation will perhaps be superfluous.

"We can draw a boundary— for a special purpose. Does it take that to make the concept usable? Not at all! (Except for that special purpose.)"

71. One might say that the concept 'game' is a concept with blurred edges.—"But is a blurred concept a concept at all?"—Is an indistinct photograph a picture of a person at all? Is it even always an advantage to replace an indistinct picture by a sharp one? Isn't the indistinct one often exactly what we need?

when he penetrates my phenomena: @_@

90. We feel as if we had to penetrate phenomena:

"Where language is perceived to be the site of progressive action, action is taken in language. Actions taken in other spheres can become less urgent and less necessary."

Loneliness and Its Opposite, pg 37. Don Kulick and Jens Rydström.
What we will present in this book, though, is the example of a country where wildly politically incorrect language about disability coexists with policies and practices that are both politically radical (for what they mean for the rights of people with disabilities as citizens) and ethically progressive (for what they imply about how disabled and nondisabled people might imagine and engage with one another). This contrasts starkly with Denmark’s neighbor, Sweden. There, language about disability is constantly monitored and uncompromisingly judged. But policies and practices relating to the sexual lives of people with disabilities are politically retrogressive and ethically arrested. Significantly disabled individuals’ access to sex is actively blocked—by the very same people who would be the first to correct you if you said “handicap” instead of “disability.”

no he cares about me deeply, you just don’t understand what we have

some of my favorite anecdotes are from this book

Loneliness and Its Opposite, pg 35-36. Don Kulick and Jens Rydström.
Denmark is strikingly different on this front—there, there is little or no political correctness when it comes to the language used to talk about disability. Even people who work most closely with and care most passionately about people with significant disabilities habitually use words like spastic (spastiker) when referring to people with cerebral palsy—and, indeed, people with cerebral palsy call themselves spastics. The name of their advocacy organization is the Association of Spastics (Spastikerforeningen), and their bi- monthly magazine is called The Spastic (Spastikeren). Another telling example that succinctly sums up Denmark’s unique relationship to politically correct language regarding disability is what happened to the Danish Association for People with Restricted Growth (Landsforening for Væktshæmmede). In June 2007, by a vote of its members, the association officially changed its name to the Association of Dwarves (Dværgeforeningen). Their members’ magazine is Short and Sweet (Kort og Godt). And at one of the group homes where Don lived while conducting fieldwork, he sat outside one morning having a cup of coffee with a female social worker in her sixties who had worked in that group home for twenty years. This woman was devoted to her job and clearly was much loved by the young men and women who lived in the group home. In between puffs of her cigarette, she turned to Don to tell him a story about a young woman who lived there. “Og så har vi den lille mongol,” she said: “We have the little mongoloid.” As soon she said “den lille mongol,” the woman stopped and apologized, perhaps because she noticed that Don had nearly choked on his coffee. “Oh, undskyld,” she said. “Sorry; I know I shouldn’t say ‘little.’ She’s an adult.”

SEE I TOLD YOU

one of those days

my fav part abt this is that while it’s accurate that it’s categorically untrue (PDS != relay), the part he focuses on (rightly, because it’s the point being made) is not qualitative but quantitative
