Formal systems Memes

The mathematical logic above is enough to make anyone's brain short-circuit! The meme contrasts "normal people" (looking terrified at this modal logic nightmare) with Pope Leo XIV (looking smugly confident). Historical note: Pope Leo XIV doesn't actually exist—we only made it to Leo XIII—making this even funnier. It's basically saying "mere mortals panic at complex formal logic while fictional popes breeze through it like it's the Sunday comics." Next time someone asks why you're sweating during a math exam, just say you're having a "normal people" moment.

The existential crisis that hits when you learn about Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem is too real! Suddenly you're questioning if your breakfast cereal choice is an unprovable statement within its axiomatic system. For the uninitiated, Gödel basically shattered mathematics by proving that in any consistent formal system complex enough to express basic arithmetic, there will always exist true statements that cannot be proven within that system. So now you're pointing at literally everything going "Wait... is THAT unprovable too??" Mathematical completeness? Sorry, it's just not on the menu. Your formal system is either inconsistent or incomplete. Pick your existential nightmare!
