Difference between proving that logic is bad and proving that certain kinds of logic are incomplete. And either way, all mathematics up to the early 19th century and most afterwards would still be safe.

it wasn't; only math founded in set theory founded in logic was broken

How many times, OP? You've posted this retarded misinterpretation of Godel at least two other times. Godel only breaks the Hilbert program, he doesn't break math and you are a FUCKING RETARD

...not under the right axioms, you're probably thinking of naive set theory, which was outdated before it began.

ZFC is still the standard of higher maths education today, and many proofs rely on it's axioms to function. It IS the foundation for math.

Godel's incompleteness theorem doesn't apply, because Godel's incompleteness theorem only applies when operators are codified into a logical, strict language. It defeats basically computer-based proofs; or a logical, calculus means to do proofs, which only stands in relation to the hilbert program and is more of an interesting bit of mathematical history than anything. Mostly people who make it into something grand don't understand what it's about.

is it true that the geometry escape the consequences of the theorem since the natural number system cannot be coded geometrically ?

>> No.6379326

>>6379322
My professor told me that something like this would take place in the next set theory course but I graduated before that quarter. Still I remember him saying something like, eventually set theory's explanatory power fails at a serious level.

Set theory will be moving up the to read list thanks to your post.

A little, I lean towards non-realist interpretations, because realists are fucking fags for the most part. Honestly at this point I just admit I have no idea what any of it means. It's possible to be skeptical about anything to doubt, so I pretty much run with how things seem.

I don't see the "dead" part here.

Perhaps we need to review mathematics and see what part of it works and which doesnt, because is quite clear that mathematics work in the real world.

>Later in his life, Gödel suffered periods of mental instability and illness. He had an obsessive fear of being poisoned; he would eat only food that his wife, Adele, prepared for him. Late in 1977, she was hospitalized for six months and could no longer prepare her husband's food. In her absence, he refused to eat, eventually starving to death.[20] He weighed 65 pounds (approximately 30 kg) when he died. His death certificate reported that he died of "malnutrition and inanition caused by personality disturbance" in Princeton Hospital on January 14, 1978.[21] Adele's death followed in 1981.
