“We could . . . say: Hate between men comes from our cutting ourselves off from each other. Because we don’t want anyone else to look inside us, since it’s not a pretty sight in there.
Of course, you must continue to feel ashamed of what’s inside you, but not ashamed of yourself before your fellow-men.”

W gives us insight into what Christian thinkers have called, in typically soft and lifeless language, “transparency.” Before God we are naked an ashamed. We need a covering. But with our fellow men, we should not be ashamed of our nakedness. Not because we are pure, of course, but because we must resist hypocrisy with every fiber of our being.

This is, I believe, what W was getting at in the last quotation, Laß uns menschlich sein. One of the highest compliments W would give was to say, “you are real human being.” A real human being is one who recognizes the struggle of life and has the courage to face it. While at the same time recognizes that without grace the struggle will be futile . (”I sit astride life like a bad rider on a horse. I only owe it to the horse’s good nature that I am not thrown off at this very moment.”)

This is worlds apart from the modern maxim, “keep it real.” “Keeping it real” means accepting all one’s meanness and wickedness without any sense of shame or guilt. Becoming human means struggling against one’s meanness and wickedness and yet not pretending to be anything other than he is.

Many of us succeed at “keeping it real,” and fail at being human. This is why W says “a confession has to be a part of your new life.”  With a confession before our fellow men we are able to “aim at being loved without being admired.”

Start with Culture and Value. It is a chronological collection of his thoughts on diverse subjects. Then read Ray Monk’s excellent biography, LW: The Duty of Genius. These two works will put the hook in you. After that read the Tractatus along with a commentary. When finished with this, write back and I will give you more suggestions.

I assume you mean to refer mostly to the later Wittgenstein when you speak of his agrarianism.

“we believe that it isnt possible to get to the moon; but there might be people who believe that it is possible and that it sometimes happens. we say: these people do not know a lot that we know. and, let them be never so sure of their belief-they are wrong and we know it. if we compare our suystem of knowledge with theirs then theirs is evidently the poorer one by far”
Wittgenstein

well we havent made it to the moon yet - weve never even made it more than 400 miles from the earth - consider Van Broun’s calculations in this into clip http://www.moonmovie.com/moonmovie/intro.html
