Imagine walking into a lecture hall and seeing the notes of the previous lecture being a doodle of a dog and a pineapple with the words 'a dog' and 'this is a very pleasant pineapple'.

Why did I miss this until now!!

Great!

one must imagine pineapple pleasant

KZfaq recommendations are getting really dank.

Went to the comments in search of discussion, found only memes.

Wittgenstein was a genius. He reminds me of myself. I am not a genius. But his personality is like mine.

Having Wittgenstein as a professor would have been pretty awesome.

This was ones of my go-to classroom graffiti phrases when I was in high school. I would go into different classrooms and just write “This is a very pleasant pineapple” on the board or on a desk.

*Wittgenstein:* It makes no sense to speak of _knowing_ something in a context where we could not possibly doubt it... *Descarte:* well fuck

"Philosophy is just a by-product of misunderstanding language! Why don't you realize that!" He gets it.

Now that's something I do follow

So **this** is what Alfred gets up to when Bruce is out fighting crime

EXACTLY how I remember college ;)

Every time I have seen Karl Johnson act, I keep thinking he could have emerged as one of acting greats of cinema if fate had worked itself out another way. I'm that impressed by his talent & command of presence. For the most part of his career, I think he focused on stage. He does have an extended resume in filmography and television, yes. But I can't help but feel we were deprived of a talent that could have had more extensive exposure to the big & small screen in posterity. Shame as it is, I can enjoy this performance & other roles in, such as, HBO's "Rome", "Ancient Rome: The Rise and Fall of an Empire", and sillier, fun films like "The Death of Stalin" and "Hot Fuzz". Thank you, Karl.

Imagine if Wittgenstein live to see "Pineapple pen" meme in 2016

A word is not the thought, it's merely a clumsy portrayal of a thought. We only understand the approximation of what a person means when they say something.

So much of his writings come off as an Autistic person metaphorically screaming at the disconnect between language and societal promotion of "honesty," and the actual material state of what he lives in and sees. I say that as someone who is Autistic and find his writings on language and honesty almost descriptive of my thoughts, but phrased more concisely. "Limits of my language mean the limits of my world."

My dog lies everyday and tries to pull the wool over my eyes; especially when it come to his favorite treats. But he is incredibly sincere about his love for me. So take that Mr. Fictitious Wittgenstein.

This is absolutely amazing, the idea that this videos shares is simple, yet so complex and done in such a short period. I absolutely love studying philosophical, sociological, and also linguistical theories and studies, and something I always say is that "languages work with concepts, not with words" most specifically that languages work with our worldview, the way we, humans, see the world itself is completely biased towards not only our own species, but also our completely individual experiences as human beings. As he says it there "to imagine a language is to imagine a form of life". If at times it is difficult to understand or to explain a topic to someone of your same species who too speaks the same language, I cannot fathom how of a challenge it would be to understand a dog or lion language, they are completely different species compared to us, thus having a completely different view of how things work, so it's no surprise Wittgenstein thinks that there are no philosophical questions, but rather only linguistical, but I personally think that these linguistical, mathematical, ethical, logistical and religious problems are all part of what I see as "philosophy". And when he says "this is a very pleasant pineapple", he could be talking about how the pineapple looks, or how the pineapple seems to look, or how it smells, or how it seems to smell for him, or maybe the text, he could not even be talking about your or my perception of what "pleasure" or "pineapple". I believe it's important to separate things between *what is said* vs *what it means*, it is the phrase and "the thought", and what's really dangerous here for me is the question of perspective, even though we may be able to perceive something in a certain way, it's impossible to know if that's what it really means, many people could say the same thing, and to many other people inside their own context and personal experiences, it could mean many different things, it's the ambiguity of linguistics, and to imagine that could be fixed by saying what you actually think precisely using careful and well thought words is really lovely, but merely a delusion. Humanity has this problem of looking for exact views and absolute perceptions where they simply don't exist, we are not perfect, nor is the world we live in, nothing is absolute, we're all living in constant contradicton with the knowledge and the unknown.

I'm looking at my dog now. And he's lying on the couch.

this scene gives me goosebumps

My boy Witty G in the house! R A I S E T H E R O O F (3cm)

I'm addicted to his voice

Why did this appear in my recommendation pages.

Brilliant acting, and brilliant filmmaking as well! I love the stage approach.

This gives a good glimpse into the mindset of the early twentieth century.

"If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough."

I’m not so sure if I dog can’t lie. I’ve seen videos of dogs pretending that they can’t use a leg, to achieve something.

whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must remain silent

Meaning comes from use

This must be what lectures in hell look like.

The uncle of my friend ger, spent many hours sat in front of his peat fire telling stories and sharing time with Wittgenstein, the cottage is located in a sparse unspoilt part of the world with sea otters washing off the sea salt of the harbour in the tiny freshwater stream that ran across the end of his front garden, every evening at dusk. There is a dancing spot just inside the front (and only) door, folks just go about their daily business, the sun shines, the rain falls and all is well where people care for one another....we here in the west, under the shadow of uncertainty, stuck on the threads of a poisonous web of lies spun by crazy people wait...hope.....listen and then despair....time after time.....seek the truth, seek honesty and heed the lesson of the sermon on the mount spoken by a well decent geezer.....👊peace out xxx

"You have lost Rome without even raising your sword!" "You have lost Rome!"

why are there two guys in raincoats? and a guy in shorts? and a guy in a tennis sweater for that matter. wtf is wrong with the people attending???

Forever in the search for words to articulate his meaning

Geez man okay you win

Who has noticed, that the face of the pineapple changes through the scene? What does it mean ?

My dog expects to get a dentastick every day at exactly 7.45 pm

The object is the pineapple. The pineapple is moving in the direction of ”pleasant” with the ambiguous quantifier “very”. The pineapple serves us as an atomic fact simply due to its existence in the first place, and the fact that its constituent parts are of no use in this context.

Batman's butler among the audience. "Hullo, Batman's butler." "Hullo."

the correct definition of a word or sentence is the intended idea in the mind of the speaker at a point in time. . Words are intended to convey ideas, but much communication may be unintended.

For those confused, this is mixing Wittgenstein's early and later philosophies, so it comes across as meaningless. In context of his philosophical periods they are very poignant criticisms of philosophies of mathematics and logic.

well enough ❤

Philosophy is just a by product of misunderstanding language. Fuck, this quote changed the way i think drastically

I watched this film 10 years ago and wasn’t impressed with the acting but after reading his biography by Ray Monk, I think this covers how he’s described brilliantly! Long silences with his head on the table during lectures.

i have no counter argument to Wittgenstein here. i can not disagree.

The quickest way to solve any problem is to stop thinking about it.

Good way to understand that we do not understand what we should understand but only because we do not understand how to understand symbols.

chill Cato

I watched the video without knowing anything about Wittgenstein. Now i know what is he talking about.

Wittgenstein is the kind of professor I wish I had when I was at University.

Science has proven this clip is infactly an hommage to Monty Python's Holy Grail, called "Biology, ever?"

Quite the colorful crowd. The one in red: would that be Bertrand Russell?

''For me or for the lion?'' Fatality!

Maybe i could understand this better if he had drawn the lion.

imagine Wittgenstein being exposed to skibidi toilet

The best unintentional asmr😂

Philosophie ist ein Mißbrauch von Terminologie die zu diesem Zweck eigens erfunden wird. -- Heine

Damnit, I just began to understand Wittgenstein.....

I can’t understand, because it’s a “pleasant pineapple”. This man was a genius.

this man has obviously never kept a dog in his life

"ooh deeeaah"

Karl’s Wittgenstein looks so sad, staring off during pauses. How do you perform a deeply lonely man, when one could not possibly know what his world was like?

Absolute Genius.......

Wittgenstein(this satirical character) is right, we cannot see the world through the eyes of another animal, culture or ethnic religion.Translated mythology or poetry may appear to tell us about a familiar sequence of say natural phenomena, but by rendering these descriptions into ordinary language we miss out on it's essential meaning.

Oh dear, he can't bear dissagreement, can he? hahaha

Poor wittgenstein he was too advanced for his time so he could not explain his ideas in a way that people could get them To me he's lowkey the greatest modern but hegel is number 2

it is not generally agreed upon that wittgenstein really wanted to say that philosophy itself is the thing with the problem in his first tractatus.

“a dog cannot lie, nor can he be sincere…” he wouldn’t have said that if he’d met my border collie.

"LINGUISTIC CONFUSION MADE ME DO IT" (C) Ludwig Cube Wittgenstein

i keep coming back to this video because of how non-sensical it is

If you drive through Norway there is a little town by a beautiful turquoise lake. Next to a little camping site on the other side of the water there is an almost hidden, worn-out sign that says: "Wittgenstein's hut”. Me and my family stumbled upon this by mere accident and followed the sign up a narrow path and it leads you to a small overgrown stone-house foundation on the edge of a steep cliff overlooking the serene lake. Also, I heard Wittgenstein was gay.

This small excerpt of a film does not do justice to Wittgenstein, though Lord knows I have found him to be difficult. In the early days he was associated strongly with the Vienna circle of philosophy. They were against metaphysics/religion, every statement had to be testable/objective or it was metaphysics. After he wrote his magnum opus outlining his theory held gave up on philosophy as in his opinion he had solved the problem of philosophy. Later he returned to philosophy as he became aware that his account of language was deficient. He then championed his philosophical psychology. Objectivity was achieved by the language that we share with each other eg English. These are my words that I write but hey are still English. there would be no point in having a private language as it could not be shared

Ah, Wittgenstein’s courses in linguistics were always a class act.

Now I think what he is getting at but no sooner did i think than I lost it again.

2:46 can someone explain this part to me please? “If you cannot doubt a thing, you cannot know it.” Why is that?

Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus 4.003-4.0031

to the last point- but to know that such and such causes cancer wouldnt apply, nor would most statements so that was just a bad example from the student. and what lies behind the statement is an experience of images and feelings

"There are [ethical problems] ... but there are no genuine* philosophical problems." Can anyone help me make sense of this? To me, it reads as an obvious contradiction - to me (and most?), ethics IS philosophy. *Is it the word 'genuine' that explains the apparent contradiction? Or is that merely for emphasis?

Wittgenstein sketched on the blackboard a rather unpleasant pineapple. i prefer his dog sketch.

Ola nao sei falar sua lingua mais seija bem vindo agŕadecida 🇧🇷❤🙏

Am I crazy or does anybody else get "What Is It Like to Be a Bat?" vibes?

This is why I don't deal with pineapples.

he looks so much like wittgenstein i had to double check his birthdate like "wtf is that possible"

Gold. Like a pineapple. Made of gold. Pleasant gold.

Saudade do BRASIL

Is this the same actor that played Cato in Rome Series 1?

I'm currently rotating a 3D very pleasant pineapple in my mind

if we can't speak of doubt , we can't speak of knowledge either

intelectual pretenciousness

"Philosophy is just a byproduct of misunderstanding language." Paradox arises because of the misuse of language.

This reminds me of Charlie Day in Always Sunny

Did the dog eat the pineapple?

Look at my dog. My dog is amazing. And so is my pineapple.

This scene is Nonsense. 😉

Reminds me Nagel's "What it's like to be a bat"

4) Again, the point is to show that weekdays don't belong to a dog's "form of life".
