just think about how hard it would be for someone to communicate with another person 400 years ago, obviously the language barrier would not be the only problem.

Obviously; time travel is quite a difficult barrier to breach.

well obviously but we would have to assume that it is possible for time travel in order to douse our intellect with the implications of Wittgenstein's statement.

"This is dialectics.  It’s very simple dialectics.  One through nine, no maybes, no supposes, no fractions. You can't travel in space, you can't go out into space, you know, without, like, you know, uh, with fractions - what are you going to land on - one-quarter, three-eighths? What are you going to do when you go from here to Venus or something? That's dialectic, physics, okay.  Dialectic logic is, there’s only love and hate.  You either love somebody or you hate em."

Until I noticed the quotations, I really thought you had flown off the deep end.
