>Godel's incompleteness theorems aren't that hard to understand.
Yet people constantly bring them up in popsci / philosophy contexts and completely misinterpret them as meaning truth doesn't exist or mathematics is limited (the latter is especially obnoxious since Gödel was an extreme Platonist and the entire point of those theorems was to show how Mathematics itself existed independently from and beyond the scope of constructed systems like PM).

I'm not saying quantum physics doesn't exist, I'm saying every time a filthy casual brings it up they're misunderstanding everything about it to the point where it would be better for everyone to just never discuss it informally. People trying to talk about it without all the mathematical background that underlies it exploit its abstract complexity as an excuse to say anything goes and all the magical bullshit they want to believe in is therefore true.
