The Largest Level Is Empty
Even God does not control the largest of levels.
When folks try to explain Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorems, they tend to cross the street while desiring to get to the middle. It is as if humans cannot envision that the largest of levels is empty. They feel the need to fill it in.
- Infinity
- God
- Eternal
- Energy
These are some of the words put in place to give that largest of levels some kind of essence, instead of using the term empty. These folks want something there, and cannot let empty just be empty.
The funny part is that there is no formal system that can declare a truth at the overall level. So, the minute a truth is pronounced with some specific meaning at the overall level, folks fool themselves. Like a self-fulfilling prophesy, the desired word is placed at the largest of levels, and therefore considered to be true, seen as true.
- That is as if a human being (a single person) can be male, female, young and old all at the same time.
Surprisingly, folks who do like Gödel’s work, may not actively apply it to the largest level, construe it as mathematical only for that level, and move on with their lives.
