He felt forced to start a quixotic quest for "showing" that German can
be reproduced (albeit in "logial form") by SC (where sc= sententail
calculus, what is taught in 1st year philosophy classes, but
Wittgenstein's times it was novel notion)
see e.g.

Es ist z. B.:
p q
W W W
» F W W «
W F
F F W
ein Satzzeichen.
(Freges »Urteilstrich« »« ist logisch ganz bedeutungslos; er zeigt
bei Frege (und Russell) nur an, dass diese Autoren die so
bezeichneten Sätze für wahr halten. »« gehört daher ebensowenig zum
Satzgefüge, wie etwa die Nummer des Satzes. Ein Satz kann unmöglich
von sich selbst aussagen, dass er wahr ist.)
Ist die Reihenfolge der Wahrheitsmöglichkeiten im Schema durch eine
Kombinationsregel ein für allemal festgesetzt, dann ist die letzte
Kolonne allein schon ein Ausdruck der Wahrheitsbedingungen.
Schreiben wir diese Kolonne als Reihe hin, so wird das Satzzeichen zu
»(WW-W)(p,q)«
oder deutlicher
»(WWFW)(p,q)«
(Die Anzahl der Stellen in der linken Klammer ist durch die Anzahl
der Glieder in der rechten bestimmt.)

Für n Elementarsätze gibt es L_n mögliche Gruppen von
Wahrheitsbedingungen.

Actually I'm holding out for someone to explain the first chapter of the
/Tractatus./ The first sentence seems clear enough. Possibly even the
second. But I'm lost by the time I reach the end of the chapter. What on
earth does this all mean:
1 The world is all that is the case.
1.1 The world is the totality of facts, not of things.
1.11 The world is determined by the facts, and by their being all the facts.
1.12 For the totality of facts determines what is the case, and also
whatever is not the case.
1.13 The facts in logical space are the world.
1.2 The world divides into facts.
1.21 Each item can be the case or not the case while everything else
remains the same.
To start off, WTH is /the case?/ Is he talking beer, whiskey or rye
(drunk by good ol' boys at the levee), absinthe, or what?

Then some become Marines"

Lawrence has managed to surprise me, I was expecting a lengthy reply
with references to the all-too-familiar list of right-wing authors.

If you should go to [Middle-Eastern city of your choice]
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair.
If you’re going to [Middle Eastern city]
You’re gonna meet some gentle people there.
For those who come to [Middle-Eastern city]
Summertime will be a love-in there
In the streets of [Middle-Eastern city]
Gentle people with flowers in their hair
All across the nation such a strange vibration
People in motion
There's a whole generation with a new explanation
People in motion people in motion
For those who come to [Middle-Eastern city]
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you come to [Middle-Eastern City]

The longstanding debate over whether Islam and democracy can coexist has
reached a stunning turning point. Since the Arab uprisings began in late
2010, political Islam and democracy have become increasingly
interdependent. The debate over whether they are compatible is now
virtually obsolete. Neither can now survive without the other.
