Did Gödel even prove step 1?. In Gödel's argument, it's relying on very arbitrary definitions of what many have defined as a god and that their god is "great". OP defined what is "great" to him, it's not necessarily what's great to you or me.

I think OP here is meaning "great" in some intellectual capacity, that you are just as powerful or great if you can make up your lack of greatness in one area with another form of greatness, something I don't see as greater but equally great. Is it greater to be successful by bootstrapping off the success of your forebearer or greater to be as successful when starting from nothing? It's a classical argument but to me it stands on just as rational ground as Gödel's argument.

Maybe you can prove step 1, but step 2 is clearly false - a much greater difficulty is having an adversary unmaking what you make.
