That's the problem, and that's the educational thing about Trump. It was always assumed, a bit foolishly, that everything was written down and perfect. It now turns out that the constitution always depended on unwritten rules and, when you get a ruler who doesn't care about all that, there's no check.

Who the **** assumed that. The reality has been well understood all my life (and discussed here long before trump)

I assume (perhaps foolishly) that even before godel, anyone who thought about it could see huge problems.


I never completed Godel. Nor did I ever falsify Popper.
