When told by Dr. Bevan that he would live only a few more days, he exclaimed ‘Good!’
Mrs Bevan stayed with him that night, and told him that his close friends in England would be coming the next day. Before losing consciousness he said to her: ‘Tell them I’ve had a wonderful life.’
- Wittgenstein's last words

On the instinct for language
When you are learning to play music or to paint, at some point you develop the so-called musical ear, and painter's eye, in which you can play and paint intuitively without the need to think hard before every move or brush stroke. The same happens when you learn a language: you develop a taste, a feel, and an instinct for the language. The pattern of the sentence and the meaning of the words reveal themselves intuitively.

This happened to me yesterday: I was trying to remember the German word for "face/Gesicht" but I could only remember "Gehirn/brain" because they all sound the same to me, because I don't yet have this "instinct" for German :")

The modern age does solve the problems of the previous ages in an almost miraculous way. But, in the process, it creates new ones:
The cheap, affordable food we now mass-produce to feed billions and reduce starvation, is of low quality, and as a result, causes obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and cancer. It is an irony of the modern age that more people suffer from obesity than of starvation.
Our evermore cheap and fast transportation & communication system is transporting & communicating diseases, extremist ideas, and social instability wherever it reaches.
Even the things we—the loyal citizens of the modern age—claim to be superior at, are a mere adaptation for the problems WE produced:
We have superior dietary science because we have more bad diets to avoid. We have superior dentistry because we have worse teeth than before. We go to gyms and subscribe to the myriad of physical activity programs because we've become so lazy & sedentary. We read more books because we can no longer learn from immediate experience. And we invented psychotherapy because we feel so lonely since we cut every tie with our families and community.
