So whatever happened to young Mr, Heilmayr? Did he kill himself or turn to poetry? (same thing really).Wittgenstein wrote in the Investigations that '[p]hilosophical problems arise when language goes on holiday.'According to the alumni directory, Klaus Heilmayr, as he called himself, got an MA in math, and a PhD in 'science,' from UC Berkeley.
