Wittgenstein's Ruler ⋆ Sort Of Thinking

The ONLY test of intelligence that counts is to see if the person detects Wittgenstein's ruler situations:

1) When you use a ruler to measure the table, you are also using the table to measure the ruler.

2) The more unexpected the measurement, the more you apply W's ruler.

Whom you think of as a foe, is more of a measure of you than it is of them

Any conversation about you in which you aren’t present yourself isn’t really about you nor for you. It’s about those holding the conversation.
