Quote by Ludwig Wittgenstein

The real discovery is the one which enables me to stop doing philosophy when I want to. -- The one that gives philosophy peace, so that it is no longer tormented by questions which bring itself into question.

The real discovery is the one which enables me to stop doing

Rather than continuously questioning and doubting, the quote proposes that reaching a point of satisfaction and contentment within philosophical understanding is the ultimate goal. It implies that true discovery allows individuals to confidently stop engaging in philosophical exploration, as they have found the answers that bring clarity and resolution to their philosophical musings.
