Closest friend of Einstein,Kurt Godel's incompletness Theory,reveled this: http://www.miskatonic.org/godel.html Shortest,It could be said,all you say is not true!Language as logical tool is problem!
Godel found it impossible!Reason is logical system we are using.More precise,we are using same words for different events and objects.Therefore Chinese would be best language for programing and logical analysis! One sign has one representation only!Computers will fall inside auto referential loops or something as it! Man mind would be blocked after that same as coma,but with open eyes?!?Ex. word=net(fishing,mobile, institutional,computer,etc.etc)

That's true, we all have to make a living somehow. Pursue of truth is reserved to the Overman only. If you can not afford it, better stay with the crowd, and defend your crap, or they will sell theirs to you. I still will not call it reasoning and have alternative expression for it; blowing bubbles.
