What It Means
This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "People are deeply imbedded in philosophical, i.e., grammatical confusions. And to free them presupposes pulling them out of the immensely manifold connections they are caught up in. Ch. 9 : Philosophy, p. 185" in the context of "Ludwig Wittgenstein, Philosophical Occasions 1912-1951 (1993) Ch. 9 : Philosophy, p. 185." to mean that wisdom is timeless.
