Abstract
In this final chapter, we take a step back and question some fundamental notions of truth, falsehood, and our reality in general. Do we know what it means to make true statements, and consistently define our terms, or are we just playing word games? Is there a subtle connection between mathematics and religion? Is it possible to accurately reason about reality and existence? Do we exist at all?
