Kinnard··on Gödel's Theorem
It's a good comment. I down voted because I do see the reason for the allergic reaction.

Perhaps the diction could be improved but I think what the piece points out is a dastardly trap as you're just upon grasping (whatever can be grasped of) Gödel's Wonder.

I speak as a layman.

Kinnard··on Gödel's Theorem
I was actually discussing this today, especially the first fallacious conclusion. With a Ph.D. candidate at Stanford no less . . .

I don’t think Gödel was demonstrating the "limitations" of logic. I think he was demonstrating the limitations of lower logics so that we could wield higher logic. Just as Cantor broke through into the transfinite.

“From the paradise, that Cantor created for us, no-one can expel us.”

I don’t see Gödel’s theorems as expressing the failure of logic, I think the holes(incompleteness) it illuminates are doorways.

Gödel prompted people to explore things like plurivalent logic and fuzzy logic, at least in the “west”.

Kinnard··on Gödel's Theorem
> The first is that Gödel's theorem imposes some some of profound limitation on knowledge, science, mathematics.
