DUNLOP’S QUOTE OF THE MOMENT

There's a fire backstage, he says. The clown comes out to warn the audience. Laughter and applause. They think it's a joke! The clown repeats his warning. The fire grows hotter; the applause grows louder. That's how the world will end, Wittgenstein says: to general applause, from halfwits who think it's a joke.

--Lars Iyer, Wittgenstein Jr
