This author argues the models of science and mathematics are self contradictory and paradoxical and as such are meaningless. The models may work but the models are are just like myths and science and mathematics nothing but examples of mythical thinking and prelogical primative thought. What do you think

I agree.

Any model, being a static picture, will fall short of the dynamic reality it is meant to encapsulate. Paradoxes will arise because of this, but that is precisely because of their meaning. Logic, as a formal tool, can only bring out a clearer exposition of what is already implied by our starting premises. This is plainly illustrated by the author's conclusions, which follow only from his definition of "meaning".

Well, there's philosophical logic, scientific logic and religious logic. Each may be sufficient within their own realms. It's when you apply one set of logistics to another frame of reference that you run into trouble. Go no further than try to get a unanimous agreement on the definition of "theory."
