- Blammar 2y agoJesus fucking christ don't give them ideas.
- rkagerer 2y agoSo this guy supposedly found a loophole in the Constitution that would facilitate a legal transformation of the US into a dictatorship, and talked to Einstein about it, but the specific loophole/concern has never actually been published? Sounds like clickbait was already alive and well in the 1940's.

- TomK32 2y agoDepression as Gödel did suffer from and developed massive anxiety after the murder of Moritz Schlick, deserves a little more respect and above all help. Calling him "completely mental" doesn't help at all.
- joegibbs 2y agoI’m sure there are a thousand ways that the US could become a dictatorship by technically legal means. I’m not sure why Gödel was so concerned about this one method. After all, all governments are made of people and accountable to people - if the people are fine enough with a dictatorship then it could come into existence regardless of legality, and if they hate the idea then they won’t let it happen even if the method is technically legal.
