The Limits of Knowledge and its Consequences

Ryan Wardle

There are some things that we will never know. Even within the hardest of sciences: math. This week, join Ryan, Tanner, and special guest Chad, discussing Gödel's incompleteness theorems and what they tell us about the types of certainty math can tell us about math itself. 

This is all good and fun to muse about, but, what effect does this have on our day to day? How do certainty and ignorance inform us on what actions we can and cannot, or even should and should not, take? How does one navigate a world where certain types of knowledge are unattainable? Discussions of these questions and more await you within this week's episode.
