- coldtea 3y agoYou start from 1 empty set though. If you could start from 0 empty sets, you'd have a point.
- fuzztester 3y ago>You start from 1 empty set though. Sez who, zigactly? If you are coldtea, I am coldertea. As in, I love my tea colder than you do yours. And starts who? Not me. Don't kid around, dude. I dik around. >If you could start from 0 empty sets, you'd have a point. What if the set of empty sets has no element? :)
- coldtea 3y agoWas the first comment under the influence of drugs? In any case, for the second comment: even if the set of empty sets has no elements, it's still ONE set.
- fuzztester 3y ago>Was the first comment under the influence of drugs? No, it was not. Regarding this whole subthread in which I participated, I did it for some mutual logic-chopping fun. But if you thought there was a chance it was, you shouldn't have replied to the second comment, because I would have been equally under the influence of the drugs for the second, if I had been so for the first comment. (Don't reply to a druggie.) After all, they were both done in one atomic comment transaction.
- fuzztester 3y agoIf I start from 0 empty sets, how do I have A point?
- layer8 3y agoWouldn’t the set without nothing be more fundamental?
- automatic6131 3y agoDoes the set of sets that exclude themselves exclude itself?
- Akronymus 3y agoNo, because it isn't a set, but rather a class.
- OJFord 3y agoA concept created at least partially to resolve this paradox.
- fuzztester 3y agoThat's a well-known old paradox, or close. Good on you, cobber. (AU slang :)

- fuzztester 3y agoBrilliant. Go to the top of the class, er, set. Oops, forgot, sets have no order. List, then.
- fuzztester 3y agoOrdered list, I mean.
- phkahler 3y ago>> The empty set is the set with nothing So it is A set. In fact it's "the set" that makes it a rather special one.
