Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

> But [Wittgenstein's] philosophy is general enough to not really contribute much as a whole

Is this consensus (in Western tradition) or your opinion?

> Wittgenstein wasn't very smart (and in my opinion, often wrong)

Well, you've got to hand it to Wittgenstein for being one of the most self-critical philosophers, if nothing else.

> He rejected infinite mathematical extensions

Socrates abhorred the written form, but that takes nothing away from his works (as presented by Plato). I guess humans are weird in weird ways, and pretty excellent in others.
