I&#x27;m not the one giving you downvotes. I believe you are incorrect, but you have taken the effort to explain your thinking and have the courage to admit that you could be wrong, so I wouldn&#x27;t down-vote that.<p>In any case, let me flip the question around at you: how did Goedel come up with his incompleteness theorem? Surely it didn&#x27;t just magically appear in his head? Most likely he followed some standard procedures of mathematical practice: manipulate symbols according to learned rules, look for &#x27;surprising&#x27; features in the result, build a sample demonstration of a surprising result, and use intuition regarding its outcome to drive further thinking, etc.<p>You can look at any intellectual behavior and find processes underlying it, unless you want to argue that we don&#x27;t live in a materialist universe and people have souls. Unless you go down that route, there must be mechanisms to thought, and indeed applied psychology agrees. So if there are mechanism to thought, why can&#x27;t those run on a computer instead of biology?
