We want to be alone.
But one day I shall find myself alone.
So when I came to this party and I walked in, all of these people rushed over to me and said, he's here, he's here.
I wanted to ask him a question so much, but I was so intimidated.
It was like, you know, asking.
What did you want to ask?
That question, did he think that his first incompleteness theorem implied that our minds can't be digital computers?
Did he make that leap?
One thing I wish I could wind back the clock and go back to and change in my own behavior, of course there are many things, but one of them is that I didn't ask Kurt Gödel that question, you know?
I've regretted that my entire life.
It led many people to say, well, our minds can't be at least digital computers because it's not that we fall in love and that we can do poetry and write novels and all of that mushy stuff.
When it comes to math itself, rule following math itself, it seems that we can do something that the computer can't do.
The computer running on normal systems.
