As an aside, if you look at the photo credit on that great color photo of Einstein and Gödel, it was snapped by Oskar Morgenstern, one of the fathers of game theory.

Morgenstern and Einstein were Gödel's closest friends, I've just now learned. It gives me goosebumps looking at that photo and imagining the three of them on that lawn.
Semi-related, here's an account of Gödel's "pent-up lecture" about the inconsistencies in the American constitution that he told to his citizenship examiner: http://morgenstern.jeffreykegler.com/ http://morgenstern.jeffreykegler.com/
- why-el 14y agoThanks for the links. I read the account. I was surprised to see that Morgenstern didn't mention Gödel's arguments. It only made a reference to the steps leading up to Gödel's own findings, like what he read on and how much time it took him, but never mentioned the substantial argument, which is what I wanted to read.
