# Mr Witt **Mr. Wittgenstein** (Mr. Witt) is an archetype for arguments that rely on convoluted reasoning, unnecessary complexity, or philosophical sleights of hand. He is meant to be a compelling intellectual foil. He speaks with supreme confidence, masking the circular or unfounded nature of his arguments. He also enjoys derailing conversations and introducing convoluted alternatives. Deep down he believes that reality is fundamentally unknowable. Rather than seek clarity, they revel in the complexity and ambiguity of ideas. --- Date: 20241222 Links to: Tags: References: * []()
