Yes... when I first saw this paradox, the author of the article I was reading (maybe Martin Gardner?) pointed out that 'uninteresting' is itself not well-define

  The set of uninteresting numbers is probably empty.

    Please define "uninteresting" and "probably".

      The standard mathematics teacher's response: I'll leave that as an exercise for the student.

  I think the uninteresting number one can be described without worrying about 'interestingness'. It works out as the same as saying something like the set of numbers that are not the smallest number in any set in some arbitrary collection of sets including this one. It's the 'including this one' part that is causing the trouble, not which other sets are included in the arbitrary collection.
