   Nope. It is a FACT.   
      
   Try to do it. The problem is you can't prevent extra meaning from being   
   added to the numbers as Godel did.   
      
   Part of the issue is that a system can't contain the complete   
   enumeration of its axioms, as each asignment of an axiom to a value   
   become an axiom, and thus the system becomes infinite in size.   
      
   All you have done is wasted your life and destroyed your families   
   reputation by intentionally making yourself ignorant of the basic facts   
   of logic out of fear they would "brainwash you", when in fact, you had   
   brainwashed yourself to be ignorant.
