To apply this to philosophy, Wittgenstein argued that many of the "classical" problems of philosophy, like the meaning of life, beauty, truth, etc, are basically misappropriations of language. The reason they are intractable is because they are nonsense. The words "life", "beauty", "truth", and all other words, have meanings in certain contexts for a communicative purposes, to achieve some mutual understanding about a state of affairs in the world. But once you remove this purpose, you're playing word games with yourself. Past a certain point, it's a waste of time.

That's probably an oversimplification and wrong in some way, happy for someone to correct me. But that was my takeaway from reading a ton of philosophy and eventually reading Wittgenstein and feeling "cured".
