Regarding Gentzen's note regarding 'Godel-points' (i.e., "Where is the Godel-point hiding?")
Consider the following note written by Gerhard Gentzen in early 1932, on the onset of his work on a consistency proof for arithmetic:
The axioms of arithmetic are obviously correct, and the princi …

The Lucas argument vs the theorem-provers -- who wins and why?
In his paper, "Minds, Machines and Gödel", J.R. Lucas writes the following:
Gödel's theorem [First Incompleteness Theorem, that is—my comment] must apply to cybernetic machines, because it is of t …

What are the difficulties involved in proving that the Kunen inconsistency holds in $NGB$
or (contrariwise) that $NGB$ + "There exists a Reinhardt cardinal" is consistent?
The question is partially in the title. $NGB$ is used for the reasons stated in the Hamkins, Kirmayer, and Perlmutte …
