... this is such an interesting thing! Wittgenstein in a cartoon sort of thing
-- I'm still wondering where to go with that. Notice how the character seems
way too British, almost to the point of being like one of those European Jesus
figures. But of course this is software animation. Another thing: after
listening to this character read the intro to the Tractatus, I can't help but
find a little more sympathy for the Conant-Diamond account of that work. What I
am trying to say is this: it's somewhat scary how, when someone stands before
you and says something, that it can feel so different than when you, yourself,
account for written words. Imagine the difference between reading sayings of
Jesus and having him speak to you. Surely, there would be a world of difference
with the very same exact words: the picture of account running through your
head would be nothing similar!
