Including I presume the "incompleteness" of the "fact" that incompleteness is an aspect of any symbolic system. (I prefer self-contradictory to incomplete because it more dramatically reveals the weakness of logic on which we place so much faith to ascertain "truth.") Be that as it may, it seems to me your view amounts to: "In the end we know that we can know nothing, even though for practical purposes we fool ourselves into thinking we can." Am I wrong? ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/ moq_discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
