O Ludwig!
The problem for me is that if I follow this thing I believe I would never be able to say anything.
The world is all that is the case.
The world is the totality of facts, not things.
Philosophy aims at the logical clarification of thoughts. Philosophy is not a body of doctrine but an activity.
What can be said at all can be said clearly, and what we cannot talk about we must pass over in silence.
And then what?
I’ll leave you with this internet poem and browser malfunction which I found when I visited today’s New York Times.
Appropriate.
