I appreciate and I wish that all people of good will succeed in the
fight against all form of fundamentalism and even against all form of
authoritative arguments (mundane fundamentalism).
Now I will perhaps have the opportunity to develop and argue that the
seed of "fundamentalism" already exists in the "mind" of any lobian
machine, so that the "war" against fundamentalism is before all a war
against oneself, it is typically an infinite war where the progress can
only appear in the means, not in the goal which taken literally is
unreachable. It is the brute lobian-godelian fact: either shit happens
or it may happen. I will come back on incompleteness soon.
