why did he do it lads

Did Kurt Godel go insane because he discovered something we weren't supposed to know?

"4.3.15 The rulers find it hard to manipulate the population: so they use materialism to manipulate the intellectuals and use religion to manipulate the workers. Before the communists can conquer the world, they will have to have some rational religion. The present ideal is not a sufficiently strong motive. Can't reform the world with a wrong philosophy. The founders of science were not atheists or materialists. Materialists began to appear only in the second half of the eighteenth century." (A logical journey: from Gödel to philosophy, Hao Wang, p. 146)

How do I create a Gödel machine?

How is it logically possible that a brain, by this I mean essentially a very complex biological Turing machine, to ever come up with something like Godel's incompleteness theorems? Stuff that a traditional "computer" would never be able to work out even if given an infinite amount of time.

Our ability to generate logically consistent proofs for complex mathematics necessarily implies that either the brain is an n-dimensional manifold (where n > 3) that can operate outside of mechanical extended reality (in which case Descartes should be ejaculating in his grave and quantum computing may hold the key to human consciousness).

Thoughts? Refutations?

If anyone can, please do run further with this.

Good luck with that.
