    Should do this 1 cheer

    @Sing Song:

    Goedel’s theorems prove no such thing. They imply that there can be truths which cannot be known/proven (things cannot be said to be known without proof), but the proofs are dependent on present formulations of set theory, which may or may not be accurate.



    Should not do this

    Enlightenment transcends rationality eg according to Goedel’s Incompleteness Theorem things can be known which can’t be proven by rational means.
