@Alfonsoo You raise a good point. I say heed the advice of Gili Trawangan. Simple but profoundly powerful.

Leo says learn through direct experience, and yet direct experience can (and often does) mislead people. Take the heliocentric model of the universe, in which a flat earth, along with every other object floating in space, orbits around the sun; extensively proven wrong millennia ago. My point is, it appears as though the Earth is flat: we directly experience it as such. Yet it remains not the case. So, why trust direct experience?

Hello fellow member of the actualized forum, I am new here and for some reason there isn't a science/geek topic that seems appropriate for this question so I have decided to put it under self actualization. For any of you that know a thing or two about Kurt Godel and his work on systems that are capable of self-reference (as I am sure there are some, because Leo has done videos on this topic), what do you think about the prospect of a computer? Obviously, such complex systems did not exist back in Godel's time, so I suppose my question is, does the incompleteness theorem extend to a artificially intelligent computer? Will it truly be inconsistent and partial when self-referencing itself, or can it be accurate? (and if so, to what extent?)
