Wait - how is Goedel a "pseudo intellectual charlatan"? Because he believed in God?
I didn'r know he was some sort of christian (but thankfully not a catholic eh, those are the bad christians - ask rayzer). What bothers me about the philosophy of mathematics is the attempt at finding some ultimate 'foundation' for the whole thing, though I realize that Goedel was rather on the opposite side of the so called logical positivists...
His personal religious beliefs, as misguided as they may have been, don't discount his body of work.
True. Well at least for the more technical stuff.
