The world consists of independent atomic facts — existing states of affairs — out of which larger facts are built.
Language consists of atomic, and then larger-scale propositions that correspond to these facts by sharing the same "logical form".
Thought, expressed in language, "pictures" these facts.
We can analyse our thoughts and sentences to express ("express" as in show, not say) their true logical form.
Those we cannot so analyze, cannot be meaningfully discussed.
Philosophy consists of no more than this form of analysis: "Wovon man nicht sprechen kann, darüber muß man schweigen" ("Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent").

Discuss.

So?

(That is my atomic thought, logically expressing my curiosity in two atomic propositions.)

Ja, Ich kann dich durch shauen---aber jetzt---

Since it is atomic, in fact, the larger-scale propositions with each atom being correct--may or may not hold true, that is; there may be variables out there unconsidered.

The analysis of dreck is often meaningful, why are there such words in our own english language as; hogwash, and bullshit?

Nei, ich kann dies nicht.
