(I’m a mathematician, not a philosopher, so I’m allowed to invoke Gödel without losing automatically)
As a fellow mathematician, I want to point out that it doesn’t mean you win automatically, either. Just look at Voevodsky’s recent FOM talk at the IAS.
Well, of course I don’t win automatically. It’s just that there’s a kind of Godwin’s Law of philosophy, whereby the first to invoke Gödel loses by default.
