An inconsistent machine can't model the mind
Although it's true Gödel’s theorem doesn't apply to inconsistent machines, this matters not as inconsistent machines can't model the mind. Human minds are geared for consistency—they seek it and use it as a norm for judging which beliefs to accept.
John Lucas (1961).
