Hardly, it's just obscurantist gobbledegook dressed up as modal logic. It uses symbols and math to make the same basic errors that all other proofs make.
- sjwright 12y agoIt's disappointing that I'm being voted down. The argument only proves that perhaps some vague thing which Goedel slaps the 'god' label on might exist, or might have existed. The fancy looking methodology only serves to obscure this obvious limitation of logical argument proofs.
- chroma 12y agoOn the disagreement hierarchy[1], your downvoted comment is DH3 at best. Also, it's needlessly disparaging. I think you'd fare better if you avoided such digs at others' opinions in the future. Also, don't worry about downvotes. HN isn't that big, and individual comments are quickly forgotten. Think of it as feedback, not condemnation of you personally. 1. http://www.paulgraham.com/disagree.html http://www.paulgraham.com/disagree.html
- sjwright 12y agoI hadn't seen the disagreement hierarchy. Very cool. I'm not that fussed about the downvote, I'm just innately curious as to people's reasons.
