Gödel’s Ontological Proof by Whalen. Licensed under CC BY NC-SA 4.0.
Synopsis: A dramaticized biography of Kurt Gödel’s personal life, overlaid with a reading of his ontological proof. Introducing him as a world-class mathematician, focus quickly shifts to the assassination of his friend Moritz Schlick, Gödel’s mental health decline, and his death due to paranoia and a dependency on his wife’s support.
Original Assets: Video was edited using Shotcut. Narration was done by myself with some editing in Audacity.
