Well, enumerating a finite list of things is not something you wouldn't do in a math proof. Now if I say: X="primes are all multiples of three", "why isn't X true?", there are many obvious answers to that. For starters, because there's at l

I don't agree. You can explain why something is true, right? (at least in some cases, not for all cases, you know, Gödel and all that). In such cases you can actually explain, it follows that if X is true, !X isn't true, and you have an obv

I agree. Some of the arguments are even wrong. Specially: "Godel’s Theorem shows that no computer, or mathematical system, can match human reasoning." This is plainly false, in many ways. Gödel't Theorem says nothing about computers (thanks

I used to have a "Free books in the net" page that I didn't update much nor anything. It contained a list of technical books I liked, that were legally free to download from the net. People loved it, linked it, and published it on sites her

Do you really think 1 million means you don't have to work any more? 1 million is 10.000 per month for less than ten years. Unless you invest them I'm not sure you can't stop working forever if you have that amount of money.

I do. In the past I worked on making a small team for my game development company, but with time I realized I was a lot happier working on the technical details of development than on team management and all that stuff. So I slowly faded to
