I do not have a proper appreciation of Tiny Wittgenstein other than the contextual use, given my lack of education in German.

Tiny Wittgenstein is properly speaking [livejournal.com profile] ratatosk's coinage, although I laid the groundwork. He abbreviates to T. Witt. and [livejournal.com profile] derspatchel is very good at getting him off my shoulder, a favor which I am never sorry to return. The little bastard is quick on the wing.

Historical Wittgenstein I am extremely fond of, not strictly because he was played by Karl Johnson in Derek Jarman's Wittgenstein (1993), but as an introduction it certainly didn't hurt.

Still, Rob may have told you just how fearsome we Earthers are.

It's a strange planet you people live on, I must admit. Got some nice art, though.

I read some SF and fantasy, but I've been reading less of it the more I realize just how the stated politics cannot naturally flow from the society. The better books either keep out the politics or manage to keep it a natural growth.

I take it politics is something you read for?

It would be tawdry, and it could be glorious.

That's a nice sentence.

Would you adapt it for radio?
