Notes and topics
"Thursday evg." "Then Wittgenstein"
Welsh Jones read a paper.
"Wittgenstein, in his usual fury, stayed behind to explain that the poor man was the most stupid, the most wicked, the most utterly worthless creature that ever lived; he utterly refused to believe that any impression at all had been made on the man. Wittgenstein's attitude was excusable because Jones always tried to wriggle out of difficult questions by subterfuges, instead of facing them squarely."
