Pretty sure my respect for Ludwig Wittgenstein (whom I met in 1999) just dovetailed with that which I have for Thomas Paine (whom I met in 1993).
You see, Ludwig is that author of Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus … and not only did his present opinion change, he felt his new opinion might only be understood when compared to his old opinion.
Never mistake self-assuredness for wisdom.
