In my eyes there is a huge amount of hints towards believing, that the quote

No, it's possible to avoid the infinite regress by using data compression techniques. That's what Goedel did.

Not to mention that the code for building a brain is far smaller
than the complexity of the finished product. A biological
version of data compression, if you will.
