H: All right, all right... and the limitation of human intelligence?
M: Mr Gödel is telling you that the theorem limits formal systems. So you see your
intelligence as a formal system, as a machine?
H (pompously): Indeed. I have the impression that everything I do ought to be done by a
machine, which could moreover speak just as well in my place.
G: From where I am, it is difficult to tell whether you exist or whether you are the virtual
creation of a GAT - a Generator of Automatic Truisms. Intelligence does not exist without
error, perhaps even without obstinacy in error; but who would take the risk of giving a
computer that kind of psychology? As for the incompleteness theorem, it certainly did not
foresee bad-tempered theories...
