I believe that Goedel himself muddied the water with his superrealist 
approach. I do not believe that Goedel's Theorem says anything about 
truth. It says that T\not\infers Goedel(T), but
T+Cons(T)\infers T. The theorem itself is provable, say, in ZFC.
Once you take truth out of the picture, this theorem says nothing about 
the mind.
