Come home, smart man.
You BTFO'd Russell, but together your advances in logic made possible the domain of practical, automatic computing.
Russell, Wittgenstein, Turing, von Neumann,
What a time it must shave been to be alive.

Literally nobody understands Wittgenstein not even Wittgenstein.

To be fair, Russell and then Wittgenstein memed themselves out of philosophy (Russell at least) and into philosophy of language, and/or grammar (from an ontological perspective that includes Chomsky)
Wittgenstein was uber-NEET, though.

It's like he's defining a language. Which is impossible with a natural language that is on a constant ontogenic relation with the Universe, yet computers are the domain of "pure reason" in which 1 + 1 = 2 because of the imperative use of language

I think that Wittgenstein turned himself as a cognitive being into a computer through an exacerbating examination and subsequently pure us of language.
If you catch glimpses of his thought here and there, you might notice how he was incredibly lucid on his awareness on the limits of his mind vis-a-vis language.
Wittgenstein is the culmination of Anglo autism
there is a reason why Germany surpassed Britain in the early 20th century in all areas
The Tractatus is unreadable. Prove me wrong.
