This is great I just got into a long conversation about this with a friend, because of comments in another recent post about "Mapping Mathematics." A specific comment had refereed to the information in the video about Godel as being false. Specifically they did not like the video claiming that Godel's incompleteness had impacted the way in which we view maths 'usefulness' all be it an over-simplification Godel's work definitely had a vast impact on the philosophical way that we view information, math, and science and does certainly beg some questions about the limits of mathematics).
Being as I am currently in the middle of reading 'Meta Math' by Chaitin, (because of his recommendations in that book) 'NKS' by Wolfram, and 'Number: The Language of Science' by Datzig. I am glad to see this on the front page in an era where we have so many 'science loving philosophy deniers' out there. I'm assuming this being here at all is not a coincidence and that OP was maybe thinking something similar, but I could be wrong.
