This was a great video. But the one titled "Math Has a Fatal Flaw"[1] was even more interesting: the meta-mathematics, thus mathematics of entire mathematics (Gödel).

- feoren 5y agoI can't get over the clickbaity, obviously incorrect title to that one. I refuse to watch it for that reason alone. If the flaw is fatal, then every mathematician is wasting their time.
- pgalvin 5y agoThe video is very interesting, I would highly recommend you still watch it. Derek has has actually made a video before about the YouTube algorithm and has polled the community several times about clickbait-ey titles. He doesn’t like them, but they’re unfortunately necessary.

- wodenokoto 5y agoIt’s about the gödel incompleteness theorem. I think it’s fair to say that’s as big a flaw in math as flaw gets. It says there are things in math that are true but unprovable, and we can’t know if it’s unprovable.
- rcxdude 5y agowell, the theorem basically did show that a huge number of mathematicians were wasting their time on an impossible task.
