The Economist is generally a pretty good news source,
Wew. Gotta be drinking the reactionary/lib pseudo-science sauce to believe this. Literally promoting phrenology. That's far from the lowest point for this rag.
Nah, euclidean geometry was not complete. Tarski didn't come up with a complete version until the 20th century. I'm not sure how famous Tarski geometry is, but it doesn't seem very famous in USA outside of math depts.
this doesn’t mean that “it’s impossible to create any consistent set of math statements that completely describes everything,”
It says far less than that: "It’s impossible for a mathematical system containing the natural numbers to be both complete and consistent."
In itself it has very little to do with physical reality. I think it's more about how we think about math and then its applications.
reality itself could be a complete system, understandable from both the outside and inside if only viewed at the right angle…
That's not a flaw. It's one of the greatest mathematical revelations of the 20th century.
It's only a "flaw" for people who want to believe in some imaginary positivism. This is a popular grift under capitalism. See also the entire field of economics.
No. Any "AI" model is misleading because there is no such thing as "artificial intelligence". They're all machiavelllian in the sense that they're capitalist grifts.
If you want decent, honest technology, look for something that doesn't make false claims immediately in its name, advertising, etc.
Are you talking about taking Chuck E. Cheese on tour?
