any time someone cites Godel's Incompleteness Theorems, Schrodinger's Cat(or really anything 'quantum'), or Non-Euclidean Geometry in any context not directly related to those things, there is a 90% chance that they don't know what they're talking about.

for instance: Godel's Incompleteness Theorems apply *only* to formal languages and axiomatic systems. Human language is not a formal language and human knowledge is (probably) not axiomatic, so it has nothing to say about those things.

@zardoz The human knowledge is not axiomatic is a highly controversial issue. More likely it's a network of axiomatic systems.

@bendersteed I would not call it "highly controversial". At the very least we use fuzzy logic on a regular basis, which is enough to make Godel's theorems not apply.

@zardoz @bendersteed Can fuzzy logic not be formalized, though? If a brain could be simulated computationally, it could be embedded into a formal system.

@abs @zardoz @bendersteed ok, but then it can happen that these things that are true but unprovable are outside of the simulation
