If you don't see the ironies bouncing around in that one, Daniel, I can't
help you. Wittgenstein (note the spelling) theorised solipsism most
interestingly and not, to my reading, in any way which can be easily
"encapsulated".
But really, this is beginning to remind me of the Logician sketch in
Monty Python. It certainly isn't revealing anything. If language has to
conform to the "facts", a "fact" which is not easily borne out by the
history of the past three millenia, then BANG goes poetry. Come back
Breton, all is forgiven...
