Don’t mean to humble brag, but I love it when a comic doesn’t worry about the knowledge level of its readers. As it happens, I am well acquainted with both of the concepts in the final panel, but I have to believe I am in a small minority. Maybe the humor is in its unintelligibility, but it is real stuff. Kind of like SMBC.
Whilst his early period sought to identify the logical form of language which would permit meaning, the later Wittgenstein regularly explored how language is acquired through purposeful interaction with others.

Cats look so wise. It’s a pose, but it’s irresistible.

So, is a reconciliation between early and late period Wittgenstein possible?
