Said last night that his own 'brain had deteriorated' and added that Sraffa 'too, didn't think properly - as though I thought these two things were on the same level'; did not mean that. Thinks his own decline 'permanent', while Sraffa's might be remedied. Sraffa is unable to stand strong contradiction; now when Sraffa is contradicted he talks extremely offensively. Wittgenstein thinks Sraffa has gone soft; this might be because more people admire him than used to; bad effects of admiration on G. H. Hardy.
