A person caught in a philosophical confusion is like a man in a room who wants to get out but doesn’t know how. He tries the window but it is too high. He tries the chimney but it is too narrow. And if he would only turn around he would see that the door has been open all the time!
…the problems are solved, not by giving new information, but by arranging what we have always known.
(Wittgenstein, Investigations §109)
