As some other answers have said, if the current foundations are found to be inconsistent, we as mathematicians will step in and fix it by modifying the foundations such that they are still sufficiently rich to deal with math as a whole. At least I hope that this can be done in some manner. Perhaps some paraconsistent logic system will be the needed device that will fix up the foundations. | |
