Please, do your best to follow the rules:
1.Be civil
This includes following the Reddit rules and Reddiquette, as well as generally being a decent person. Challenge the idea, not a person, if you must.
2.Be inclusive
We are a community that strives to be as welcome and friendly to anyone, we are creating places where nobody is afraid of being attacked for what they are. To achieve that we have to not tolerate any personal attacks, any damaging language, any attempts of arguing people's personhood or identity. This includes dog whistles of any sort.
3. Be skeptical
Provide your sources whenever it's possible and reasonable, check your claims, account to your biases, don't be afraid to change your mind. Doubt even this.
4. Be reasonable
Recognize that not every hill is worth dying on, and not every issue deserves fighting. If you find yourself writing seventh heated comment about the definition of a sandwich, maybe it's time to take a deep breath and relax.
5. Be calm
We all understand that feeling when you want to share something new and exciting, but try to snap out of the sensationalist mindset. Look around, maybe you not the first person who found this piece of information, and you can join the discussion there, maybe on second glance it's something not worth talking about. It doesn't mean we discouraging you from contributing, quite the opposite, just be level-headed about it.

"Mr. Dean complains that Gödel "cannot tell us what makes a mathematical statement true", but Gödel's Incompleteness theorems make no attempt to do this"
Godels 1st theorem
“....., there is an arithmetical statement that is true,[1] but not provable in the theory (Kleene 1967, p. 250
Godel cant tell us what makes a mathematical statement true,
thus his theorem is meaningless
in the statement
"there is an arithmetical statement that is true,[1] but not provable in the theory"
godel cant tell us what the word "true" means
thus
the word "true" is meaningless
thus
the statement
"there is an arithmetical statement that is true,[1] but not provable in the theory"
is meaningless
thus
thus godels 1st theorem is meaningless
checkmate game over
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth#Mathematics
Gödel thought that the ability to perceive the truth of a mathematical or logical proposition is a matter of intuition, an ability he admitted could be ultimately beyond the scope of a formal theory of logic or mathematics[63][64] and perhaps best considered in the realm of human comprehension and communication, but commented: Ravitch, Harold (1998). "On Gödel's Philosophy of Mathematics".,Solomon, Martin (1998). "On Kurt Gödel's Philosophy of Mathematics"
thus by not telling us what makes a maths statement true Godels 1st theorem is meaningless

Penrose could not even see Godels theorems end in meaninglessness
Dean shows Godels 1st and 2nd theorems shown to end in meaninglessness
http://gamahucherpress.yellowgum.com/wp-content/uploads/GODEL5.pdf
Godels 1st theorem
“Any effectively generated theory capable of expressing elementary arithmetic cannot be both consistent and complete. In particular, for any consistent, effectively generated formal theory that proves certain basic arithmetic truths, there is an arithmetical statement that is true,[1] but not provable in the theory (Kleene 1967, p. 250)
but
Godel cant tell us what makes a mathematical statement true,
thus his theorem is meaningless
even Cambridge expert on Godel Peter Smith admits "Gödel didn't rely on the notion of truth"
checkmate game over
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth#Mathematics
Gödel thought that the ability to perceive the truth of a mathematical or logical proposition is a matter of intuition, an ability he admitted could be ultimately beyond the scope of a formal theory of logic or mathematics[63][64] and perhaps best considered in the realm of human comprehension and communication, but commented: Ravitch, Harold (1998). "On Gödel's Philosophy of Mathematics".,Solomon, Martin (1998). "On Kurt Gödel's Philosophy of Mathematics"
thus by not telling us what makes a maths statement true Godels 1st theorem is meaningless
so much for separating truth from proof
and for some relish
Godel uses his G statement to prove his theorem but Godels sentence G is outlawed by the very axiom of the system he uses to prove his theorem ie the axiom of reducibility -thus his proof is invalid,
Godels 2nd theorem
Godels second theorem ends in paradox– impredicative The theorem in a rephrasing reads
"The following rephrasing of the second theorem is even more unsettling to the foundations of mathematics: If an axiomatic system can be proven to be consistent and complete from within itself, then it is inconsistent.”
or again
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GC3%B6del%27s_incompleteness_theorems
"The second incompleteness theorem, an extension of the first, shows that the system cannot demonstrate its own consistency."
But here is a contradiction Godel must prove that a system c a n n o t b e proven to be consistent based upon the premise that the logic he uses must be consistent . If the logic he uses is not consistent then he cannot make a proof that is consistent. So he must assume thathis logic is consistent so he can make a proof of the impossibility of proving a system to be consistent. But if his proof is true then he has proved that the logic he uses to make the proof must be consistent, but his proof proves that this cannot be done
note if Godels system is inconsistent then it can demonstrate its consistency and inconsistency
but Godels theorem does not say that
it says "...the system cannot demonstrate its own consistency"
thus as said above
"But here is a contradiction Godel must prove that a system c a n n o t b e proven to be consistent based upon the premise that the logic he uses must be consistent"
But if his proof is true then he has proved that the logic he uses to make the proof must be consistent, but his proof proves that this cannot be done
1st theorem
“.... there is an arithmetical statement that is true,[1] but not provable in the theory (Kleene 1967, p. 250)
Godel cant tell us what makes a maths statement true thus this statement ".... there is an arithmetical statement that is true" is meaningless
thus his 1st theorem is meaningless

This is one conspiracy theory that even you will believe once you see my video. Why am I sending this to an organization that debunks conspiracy theories? Because in 5 minutes you will become a believer. I dare you, a skeptic, to watch this video. I have made a discovery of hidden symbols in movies. Before you trash this email, and think I'm a nut case, please view the first 5 minuets of my video. Then you will see that what I'm saying is absolutely true. Please also note the professors I have been working with at the end of this video. They are from USC, UCLA, Columbia, Yale, and Chapman University.
Please, PROVE ME WRONG.
Here's my video showing my discoveries:

If you want to win the The Nobel prize for science then just do this
Magister colin leslie dean has destroyed your biology with one sentence
you accept species
you accept species hybridization
thus
species hybridization contradicts the notion of species-thus making evolution ie evolving species nonsense
thus
If you want to win The Nobel prize for science be an Einstein and put the anomalies-hybridization's- into a new paradigm
a paradigm shift is required to take account of the fact that species and evolution are in fact nonsense
so what is a species
Scientific reality is textual

or
https://www.scribd.com/document/572639157/Scientific-Reality-is-Textual
just a definition
https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/species/
"A species is often defined as a group of organisms that can reproduce naturally with one another and create fertile offspring"
but
but species hybridization contradicts
that
https://kids.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frym.2019.00113
"When organisms from two different species mix, or breed together, it is known as hybridization"
"Fertile hybrids create a very complex problem in science, because this breaks a rule from the Biological Species Concept"
so the definition of species is nonsense
note
when Biologist cant tell us what a species is -without contradiction thus evolution theory ie evolving species is nonsense
evolution is a myth

I recall reading about the phenomenon where people rush to read books (e.g., "how-to" or biographies) authored by successful people in the hopes that they too can learn the secrets of success. BUT, in actuality, hundreds+ people probably did the same things but were never successful (unlucky or not in the right place at the right time, etc.). So it only APPEARS that the successful person figured out some path to success, but not really. I seem to recall that there was a special name for this when it comes to authoring or reading such books and expecting gold, but cannot remember what it was called. HELP! (Not looking for fundamental responses like "focusing on hits" etc. - there was a special name for this specific type of thinking.)
