What the FUCK was Wittgenstein doing to those kids? Why was he so harsh?

You can beat kids but can not allow yourself to get frustrated by them. He lacked composture.

He beat a young girl unconscious, I think she was around 9. The thing is, he beat her up for failing a math question, something NO ONE expected a girl to understand anyways. Had to run away from town in the night to avoid getting disappeared.

Unfortunate times. Children shouldn't be beaten.

Do you deny the right of the clever to beat the dull, in order to drive the point in?

Almost every biography on Witty's life will discuss the affair.

This was not the only incident that occured, just the last straw that pushed him to move. He had been sent to court for beating kids unconscious before.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haidbauer_incident
Cunts have even suggested that the kids were faking it to put him in trouble. " Bartley suggests that, although it seems clear that Wittgenstein did hit the children, some of the incidents may have been exaggerated. One boy, the brother of the boy Wittgenstein had wanted to adopt, stuffed a pencil up his nose to make it bleed after Wittgenstein slapped him. The story of how Wittgenstein had given a boy a bloody nose spread, and soon other children were playing similar tricks, which included pretending to faint."

Yes. Didn't go very well.
I also remember he sent letters to apologize to a student lover of his for his abusive behavior, I think the student essentially told him to fuck off too, but I might be misremembering shit, my univ course on him goes back over a decade, and he really isn't someone I want to invest time in studying (beyond some interesting parts of the Tractatus)
