## Resource

Brian explores Kurt Gödel’s groundbreaking insight that every logical system contains truths that cannot be proven from within the system itself. This reflection considers what happens when reason reaches its limits—and how mystery, trust, and “properly basic beliefs” may not weaken our search for truth, but deepen it.
