Hackernews is written in arc. I also think its interesting the the comment structure is a tree, just like an S-expression:
Systems have holes people will go through them
cf Pai Mei in Kill Bill or Sufi marabouts and their talibés in Senegal.
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.
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”.
