[Ian] In a way, exactly as Platt (and myself) have said many times before .. "As Godel's Theorem reminds us, all knowledge is ultimately faith-based."
[Arlo] No. Godel shows us that all symbolic systems are essentially incomplete, and so perhaps you could say "all knowledge is incomplete". Big difference. [Ian] The scientists are "losing their edge" as John puts it, because they tend to ignore their faith in their process and simply claim higher moral ground. [Arlo] Science DOES have the "moral high ground" in the MOQ. Intellectual patterns are morally superior to social patterns. As I said to Mark, understanding the earthquake that hit Haiti as the result of geological forces and plate tectonics is a MORALLY SUPERIOR position to claiming it is the result of an angry god punishing them evil voodoo worshipers.
