My retort is this: if we haven't reached the end of original thought, then we have only reached 1/infinty of our true potential as humans. Correct?

I suppose that is one way to look at it. We have only just begun to touch what we can be. We are nothing(x/inf) compared to what we could potently come. I assume thats the prelude to a retort, otherwise I'm a little lost.
I'm not surprised that you don't know the Godel _proof_, its a bit esoteric. Really the only reason I would expect someone to know it is if they majored in math, or if they read "EGB" which did make it onto the best sellers list for a while. (I have no idea how that happened, I find the book unmanageably dense, and I usually like reading dense books)
