Incidentally, Godel himself believed this sort of thing, because he was an avowed platonist, theist lutheran.

This might make more sense to you if you think of it in terms of areas intractable to *reason* (whence "blind spots"). Moreover, I should note that whether or not there exist absolutely undecidable statements is an open question. (which I'm not too interested due to pragmatism)

more Pyrrho than Plato. suspension of judgement and all. and yes, I think this is recapitulated in critical philosophy. anyways, I think Bakker's work is really the most concise summary of all that's concrete about such cognitive limitations

Don't think you are being dishonest. Just operating at a different set of assumptions. I'm going to try to work through your concept of undecidability with the Girard.

Replying to @realMaxCastle @cyborg_nomade and
the interest in Girard is mainly due to certain philosophical and methodological similarities (IMO) with Land's stuff.

It may or may not be more profitable to read Schmitt, much of what he says about liberalism is similar to this. In mathematics we had Hilbertism with its optimistic ambitions (wrecked by Godel), in politics some other analogous things.

Personally, I like this short read: https://jyx.jyu.fi/bitstream/handle/123456789/43281/952-5092-90-9.pdf … Specially Chapter 2. (Schmitt fails to realize though how much the liberal ideal of neutrality is just a logical mirror-image of the illiberal ideal of papal infallibility)

Neutrality is the point and I don't think any of the u/acc people have ever claimed to be neutral.
