Isn't it practical to know what is worth to be thought (talked) 
about? Wittgenstein wanted to give people methods to avoid 
illussions.

He dealt with language in "two dimensional word of papers and books" 
(I understand you despise that world) because he wanted to clean 
this world of pseudoproblems and let people spend their life doing 
other things (perhaps more fruitful, like zazen for example) than 
thinking what is the "true nature" of beauty and truth or what does 
it really mean "to be". Also Buddha Siakiamuni wanted people to stop 
philosophical speculations as he understood they lead nowhere.

Kind regards,
