But then he talk about what he is saying that he can’t talk about, contradicting himself. Lao-Ze was closer to the “Gödelian solution”. He sais only “the wise stay mute, the fool talk”, by which he meant, if X is wise X stays mute. He does not say that he is wise. You can only deduce “If I am wise I should stay mute”. It is closer to the second incompleteness theorem: <> t -> ~ [] <> t. (If I iam consistent then I cannot assert my consistency).
