The School of the Tortoise
Witgenstein's quote on the philosophy race - See my previous Blog,The Philosohy Race - has kept me thinking for a while now.
I recently received an message from a fellow slow philosopher from Oklahoma, claiming to be the slowest philosophy student on the Northern-hemisphere.
This e-mail has inspired me to establish the School of the Tortoise. This is a philosophical school without consistent ideas other than subscribing to Wittgenstein's credo.
It was Wittgenstein who thought that the slow philosopher will the 'race of philosophy', just like the tortoise beat Achilles.

Those who are able to walk the slowest win the philosophy race, or those who reach the goal last . Luwig Wittgenstein, 1938.
