Quite a mind blowing video. Gödel proved that any and all worthwhile systems of logic are incomplete. That is, there are true statements which exist within any given system which the system itself is incapable of proving.
If you’ve studied ancient conceptions of religion, you may be familiar with the term “ein sof”,”pleroma”, or “Godhead”, and if you’re familiar with military interventionism and history you may have heard the idiom “known unknowns and unknown unknowns”. Could the ancients have instinctively understood the limits of logic, without having formally proved such things?
I just think that this video could produce so many interesting discussions I want to try not to limit them too much here, so please post anything this video evokes in you and let’s discuss
Yeah, it’s the one I figured most people would have seen before, but you could also say “pleroma” from the gnostic/Christian tradition, or “godhead” as a more general term common to the abrahamic faiths, basically that aspect of the divine which is by definition ungraspable by us.
These terms and ideas long predate the kabbalah (approx. 600ad), though they are certainly meditated on in there. I picked the term because it is relatively well known and succinctly expresses the idea
What is your foundation?
