<p>Jebejarjar: </p> <hr /> <div>Herr Frugal is the author of the [[Philosophers|philosophical work]] ''Das Nichts des Wissens''. (The nothingness of knowledge/ the void of wisdom) in which he famously declared<br /> <br /> ''Ich kann mich nicht genau erinnern, aber es war so etwas wie eine Vanillehaltige süsse Nachspeisenbeigabe''<br /> <br /> (I can't quite remember but it was something like a vanilla flavoured sweet dessert addition)<br /> <br /> Although, as Mr [[Nutt]] pointed out, he was on medication at the time. This is analogous to Roundworld's pragmatic psychologist/philosopher [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_James William James], who experimented with hallucinogenic drugs; during one hallucination, he thought he had made a major philosophical breakthrough. When he sobered up, he looked at the phrase and found he had written, “Everything has a Petroleum-like smell.” <br /> <br /> Rather than admit that the thoughts he had on drugs were meaningless, he concluded that the brilliance of the phrase could only be appreciated if one were in a drug induced state.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Discworld characters]]</div>
