Here we go. The obligatory "you don't understand Gödel" post.

> Ever since Gödel proved his theorem, people have used it as a metaphor for all kinds of things, from new age mysticism to psychology, biology, quantum physics, AI etc.

Including Gödel himself, who was a mystic. It is true that people make all sorts of silly claims vaguely based Gödel and other famous results, but it is also true that there are indeed deep philosophical insight to gain from Gödel's theorems, which are also dismissed without a proper argument.

> I start to appreciate the rigid form of scientific articles more and more.

I always appreciated it, but notice that what Gödel did is not science. He obtained a deep insight about reality that was not based on the scientific method or on empiricism.

Not OP, bur Gödel was a mathematician and the comment was not necessarily about being using the scientific method, but rigor.
