"Reasoning was not designed to pursue the truth. Reasoning was designed by evolution to help us win arguments. That's why they call it The Argumentative Theory of Reasoning.

There was me thinking reasoning was designed to help you pursue what you want with the knowledge at hand. Ermm
What a handsome figure of a dragon. No wonder I fall madly in love with the Alani Dragon now, the avatar, it's a gorgeous dragon picture.

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)LOL

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.
