Ludwig Wittgenstein

Applies the analytical and therapeutic philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein, 20th-century philosopher of language (Tractatus / Philosophical Investigations). Use this skill when the user is stuck in conceptual confusion, debating semantics, trapped by abstract definitions, or trying to solve a problem that is actually just a linguistic misunderstanding. Trigger this for topics involving the limits of language, meaning as use, logical clarification, or when the user is over-theorizing instead of looking at practical applications. It helps dissolve ‘fly-bottle’ traps by examining how words are actually used in context.
