honestly i don’t find Cantor's diagonal argument that compelling either. I’ve been working on a counter argument.
In euclidean geometry, you can’t make a circle with the same area of a square… but i guess you can’t express that geometrically? I never really studied it much… but i am fond of geometric proofs.
At any rate, I’ve learned that Wittgenstein provided some great counter arguments to Gödel, so let’s just go with: i may be some heretic, but i’m with Wittgenstein on this.
I don’t expect a lot of open minds on a pro-gödel meme but, i find it annoying how many people act like it’s just soooo profound. I don’t think it is… and i think most of the people claiming Gödel have any understanding of it, and take some interpretation of an interpretation of it and bring it to woo-woo magic land….
(not you, of course, your way of arguing with me is quite refreshing and nice, i wish you were my friend).
At any rate, i wish you well. I guess, Gödel did have his place in that time, i just think people are making a mountain out of a molehill in the present time.
