There's a certain sense of isometry in Wittgenstein between language and thought.  So isn't it curious when he says in the introduction to the Tractatus that, "What can be said at all can be said clearly, and what we cannot talk about we must pass over in silence," which he then follows up by saying something to the effect of that we cannot speak what we cannot think because this would be to get outside the boundary of thought.  But, doesn't the "what we cannot talk about," and the fact that we must pass it over in silence, doesn't that imply that we think of something, proposition P, say, and that we must then decide that proposition P is something about which we cannot speak, like, say that "that sunset is absolutely the greatest thing we've seen all day!"

Ignoring the eidetic-normativity of the whole quote, of course, we could say that he said it wrong, and that he said it right later.  That he should have said it then, and basically said it later by writing like it was his maxim, "What can be said at all should be said clearly, and what we cannot talk about we must make a point of indicating."

What is it that after a long day of doing chores and stuff, we come home and the only game on is Denver Vs. KC?  And Denver is beating the tar out of KC, and of course the only player we care about is Tony Gonzales (for fantasy purposes).  Fuck, it figures.  And then watching this game just reminds us how the Bills should have beaten Denver, and also Dallas, and how they'd be like 9-4!  And why is Chester Taylor leading Adrian Peterson (good one)?  We have Chester Taylor and figured the logical play would be to bench him because Purple Jesus is our homeboy.  Right?  So he gets 100 yards and a TD.  He, Chester Taylor (a very creepy, rapist-sounding name, right?).  Purple Jesus Christ!
