As if there could be a complete moral framework without the power to express Peano arithmetic.


I like this as a joke, but if your moral questions involve natural numbers in any way and your moral framework does not accommodate Peano arithmetic, then it is incomplete. :)


I am mostly joking, but I do think that if just about any logical framework is provably incomplete, then completeness is a lot to ask of a moral framework. So yes, what you said.
