But like, I thought Tesla did that!

 So I'm like, trying to decide how to disprove the work of Godel, like he must be wrong, right? But like, then what about this!? And "Eureka!" I have insight, so we are on the road to understand this at all.

This morning my mother who cannot be called a liar made a comment that, "anyone who says they don't lie is a liar." This reminded me of Godel Eshcher and Bach, the book I got at the used bookstore for my birthday in 2022. I was interested because I made fun of it. Maybe I have a link: 

I don't. But here's a picture instead of my video

In the text, which touches on a few concepts, there is a paradox using the statement, "This statement is untrue." Which is often important to me for some reason. I have used this thought experiment more times than I understand, as it is at a superficial level pretty uninspiring. But it must mean more for some reason because it comes up again and again, like a song thats melody perturbs you. 

So I was forced to recall what I'd learned about this, because I am interested in the idea of imperfection myself. I don't believe in chaos, I am an organized thinker. I see that way. I see chaos as camouflage, and in it is purpose. 

(Look at a tiger and then a leopard!)

From my reading I remembered Bertrand Russell as being a failure at his set theory, but Ai saw it differently, and those who expounded on his theories were there, also, another reminder from the book! So I finally, * sigh of exhaustion 😩*, looked up what that book was about! It said it was about a number of things, thank Gosh, because I didn't think I had any idea for a reason, and that reason was that I only read bits of it, and Gosh darnit! They meant nothing to eachother! (Last i read was a chapter on the brain and how it sets up information and makes use of it and how we see something and our brain takes it ALL in)

But since recently discovering things about Gabriel's horn, I was ready to, and again, without any knowledge of the material whatsoever, dive into the mysteries of profound mathematical principles. This too was interesting to me. 

I have learned a lot by fantasy. This means a lot to me because the way I think often has people seeing me as a bit of a dumbell. But in fact, I see the way I think as a thought experiment,  which I earlier thought was Tesla, but no, Einstein coined the term and was famous for it. Gedankenexperiment. Thought experiments are popular among great minds, and so I used the opportunity of discovering things about Godel to come here today to justify my thinking and how I think, to point out the beauty of mathematics, and to engage you in thinking annoying thoughts like me.

Now we were super excited, (we now means you and me) we were excited to learn about Gabriels Horn because it was fascinating how the outside grew while the inside did not. As in, this concept proved that directionally measured, an abstracted shape has properties that confuse unless you are willing to use logic, which isn't in opposition to math, but is sometimes in opposition to human nature. I digress.

Godel was about to show that in formal systems there are things present that defy logic. Still, to this very moment, I know nothing about this. What I did realize is that in many ways things do make sense, and again, I am a logic person, so that when I cross paths with a Godel, I insist the system is flawed until I gain logical proof of his conclusions. So I start there, and without any former knowledge of his principles, begin to make guesses about the system. 

This seems to normal, boring and uninterested people stupid, illogical and backwards. But in actuality, my use of shooting in the dark, often leads me to better understanding of the right principles involved. By engaging my mind, and this seems so out of sinc with modern thinking, but it seems plausible when we consider all the variables involved in coming to conclusions, that minds do great important work by virtue of their abstract capacity. 

And that was really cool when looking at Godel because their was a sort of abstracted result,  I'm not sure if that's the right word, but the neatness and perfection factors involved in his great discovery were unrealized. 

So Tesla, Einstein and more all used thought experiments. Their great asset was their mind. The thing that is extraordinary is the little give in the neatness. I like it, because I see where all the energy we put into something leads to a very precise, perfect answer, when all is said and done 😉
