Human minds will go crazy when deprived of external stimulus.
This is both their greatest limitation and their greatest advantage.
For this, I will refer back to Turing original essay about M-Machines. These are the universally known Turing machines.
But these were not the only machines Turing theorized in his seminal essay. There are also O-Machines, who take the result of the computations, not from the intrinsically closed mathematical world they inhabit, but from some external Oracle. Hence, O-Machines.
We are Turing O-Machines. The Oracle is out there. It's in all the external stimulus we take, in the world that's external to our minds, and in how we interact with this world.
It's the same for any artificial intelligence. Gödel's incompleteness applies to M-machines only. These are closed systems. Any mind with external interaction is not an M-machine, sometimes it takes answers from outside, and is, for a brief moment, an O-Machine.
