Interesting but I am not sure if that was what Gödel thought about.
(But I confess I have not yet read the entire work of Gödel, I
still miss probably some of the unpublished writings)
I am not certain either. It was conjecture on my part. Another
possible interpretation: God-like intelligences may converge on the
same set of beliefs/actions/personalities, etc. as with increasing
intelligence becomes decreased probability of making mistakes.
Therefore matters of disagreement between any two entities converges
toward zero as intelligence increases.
Then it looks like humans are less intelligent than animals. Should
not the possibility of doing mistake grows with intelligence? Is not
intelligence an opening to the change of mind? That is also the
experience of having been mistaken or deluded or failed and of
possibly still being mistaken and probably being mistaken in the
(hopefully consistent and sound) extensions.
So the omniscient Gods of monotheism are even less intelligent.
